I love that guy!

Well, quite a pretty lot of posts today.

Roger Glover. I love him, really. As a musician, of course, but even more – as a great guy. He's probably the most charismatic of my favourite musicians (who are numerous, believe me, one day I'll make a list). He's kind, nice, fun, I love him most of all Purple dudes. I'm terribly sad about missing his autograph session a couple years ago in Nizhni Novgorod.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I am:

1. Listening his records all the night.
2. Got to his site and found biography there. Hi describes different stages of his life including band and artists he was listening to at those moments. Like that:

Smoke On The Water (1973) becomes one of the biggest hits of the decade. The band starts to disintigrate but manages a final album, Who Do We Think We Are (1973), containing the single Woman From Tokyo (1973). RG and Ian Gillan leave the band, for different reasons, to be replaced by Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale respectively. Buys his first house in Iver, Bucks. In a state of physical and emotional exhaustion, finds himself returning from the last Deep Purple tour to find that Nazareth are high in the charts with his production of the single Broken Down Angel (1973), taken from the album Razamanaz (1973) - the first of three albums they will make together, the next two being Loud'N'Proud (1974) and Rampant (1975). Listening to Stevie Wonder, Taj Mahal, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, Van Morrison, Traffic, Free. Supremes, John Lennon, Edgar Winter, George Harrison, Walter Carlos, Mountain, Paul Simon, Chicago, etc.

And what is he listening to during 2003–2004?

Listeining to his iPod

Love him
