Default Re: Phil Dwyer - BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful sounds like an bad accompaniment to a nightmare. What makes the song beautiful to my are the lyrics, and emotion Gord puts into it. The oooing and aaahing just doesn't do it for me. Tower of Song is a little better, but is also lacking because of no lyrics. Free Man in Paris.... yuck. Bachman's Undun is a travesty. I would not have recognized it as Undun if he hadn't named it Undun. I don't know Moi-Leger or Loius-Jean Comier, but I'm betting Louis' version is much more peasing to the ears.

I don't like today's jazz. Sounds like a jumble of notes and weird chords all mish-mashed together. In high school, I played electric guitar in the jazz band, but we played a different style that included a lot of old swing standards. It was a blast!
