For those times you just want some nice, easy music without the burden of vocals, this works pretty good. Might not expect this from the man who came up with the immortal rock riff in Smoke on the Water...

This is a favorite of mine. Beautiful song, sung by Candice Night. I think she has an awesome voice. Not to mention the guitar work of Ritchie Blackmore. Captivating.

Recorded much later than my previous posting. Still had that wonderful voice at age 58. This, to me, is the best version of the song as sung by Dio. Another example of his vocal range, even approaching 60.

Could this be 35 years old? Great tune sung by the late, great Ronnie James Dio. Not something you often heard from him, especially in his post Rainbow years... He had an incredible vocal range...

What is it about crossing the 50 year mark that seems to open a persons mind? Is it life experience? The realization that you are moving to the last 3rd of this thing called life? That elusive concept called wisdom? Many of my old preconceptions have fallen away over the years and I am happy to be rid of them. As they say, youth can be wasted on the young (there ARE exceptions) and it certainly was in my case. Getting more involved in this community has certainly done much to open me up and feel better about where I am as a person. There is much to improve, much I could do better, but I think I am moving in the right direction... This site is so much more than a place to find nude pictures and perv on. J

Ya know, you see all these guys waving their HUGE things around and one thing comes to mind: Some guys are hung like a horse. Me, more like a hamster.
-sigh-

They say that when you die, your life passes before you. So, am I experiencing the original, or reliving it?
