So, which??   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

I can just see the landscape around Mike as he stands at the top of a Mountain staring at all the beauty around him.

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Jan. 13 2006, 19:37 I have never forgotten Guitars. I voted for Summit Day. people here have recently been discussing images related to Mikes music(in Alans great thread)and Summit Day for me is one of those songs that makes me see things in my mind, mostly open spaced b-e-a-utiful landscapes. Is it true that B Blues is inspired by BB King? Quite unOldfieldian, dont you think? But still I almost voted for it. Back to top

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Jan. 14 2006, 04:11 Yes I believe it is, according to one of the articles written upon him, where he comments himself. He takes you track-by-track through each of them and categorically says that this was inspired by BB. -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion.

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Jan. 15 2006, 20:44 I like this poll because it made me get the CD off the shelf and dust it off.  I admit this is one that I have never really listened to - just didn't do anything for me.   BUT!!!   Listening to it this time around has changed my opinion.  There are several really nice songs but Summit Day is my favorite - it has that trademark MO sound that endears him to me. -------------- Speak friend and enter.

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Jan. 15 2006, 22:47 Toss up between Cochise, Out of Mind, and the first 2 songs in Four Winds. I think I'll choose Out of Mind. It's such a fun crazy song! Second to those would be Summit Day. Beautiful song. I don't see what all the fuss is about for Embers. I didn't really like it at all. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue."

Chicular Group: Members Posts: 240 Joined: Sep. 2004 Posted: Jan. 16 2006, 10:31 My fave is Summit Day, closely followed by Four Winds and Embers.  I wish i had a classical guitar so i could replicate the beautiful sound of Summit Day.  I just have a normal steel string acoustic so it doesn't sound the same.

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Jan. 26 2006, 02:25 I've never really understood why people use the word "suck" to indicate something bad. Anything that I can think of which involves a light suction should be quite pleasureful.
