My Mum used to be an Andy Williams fan when I was growing up. I am now 48 and enjoying the clips of Andy Williams on Youtube, as well as Bobby Darin. My Dad used to listen to Bert Kaempfert and Herb Alpert. Bert Kaempfert is pretty good ....
I was always impressed how "simplistic" Mozart could be. A certain amount of genius in that simplicity.
I think it was BB King who said something to the effect, " It took me a few years to learn what to play, and a lifetime to learn what not to play." That's why he could do so much with bending just one note.
I've always thought David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) understood this concept. Rather than dazzle with his technical speed and blues mastery, he knows that one well placed bent note can bring the house down. Think solo in Comfortably Numb.
