One of the first albums I bought was Harlequin's 1979 debut mainly because my friend Andrew, who was a great guitar player (this is how I remember him), wanted me to learn "You are the Light" so we could play it together. Victim of a Song would become one of my favourite albums, and I did learn how to play "You are the Light". The combination George Belanger's distinct vocals, and Glen Willows' searing guitar work was a one - two punch that seemed to deliver over and over on that album. When the band dropped their new album in 1980 I was primed and eager to hear what the band had to offer. They didn't disappoint - the legendary Jack Douglas produced the album, and the first cut "Innocence" perfectly encapsulated everything that Harlequin brought to the table. Killer vocals, a killer guitar solo, and a killer hook. It was, and remains probably one of the best songs the band ever recorded. The bar was immediately set pretty freakin' high...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
