Mike and Ginger share Gowan's Moonlight Desires, featuring Jon Anderson of Yes! ~~~Get exclusive content on Patreon at / mikeandginger Twitter / playitagainmg
When everything gets back to normal M/G you have to come up to Canada when Gowan is doing his Canadian Mini Tours when Styx is on Hiatis. Todd Sucherman Styx's drummer comes with him, his brother on bass, and then he normally gets one of the top guitarists in the world to show up most tours. Did the triple header in 2018, First night 15,000 Gowanite Canadians in an outside venue, next night a tiny small 400 seater, and damn if the 400 of us were louder then the 15,000. Todd's normal 5 minute solo turned in 15 mins that night, as the band was just shaking its head backstage in wonderment as the Standing O never ended for the whole 15 minutes. Was special. Then 2 days later another 12,000+ at a Regional Fair. These shows 40+ years after his albums, are treated as National treasures, and many Americans make their holidays a Gowan Fest.
Nice guys. Keep throwing artists on the web that we in the Netherlands never have heard about (at least, I didn't). Perhaps we also can make a deal and throw some of our unknown artists your way 😉.
@@MikeandGinger Let's start small and mellow (and short, under 3 mins.) AYREON (project of a Dutch composer/musician, Arjan Lucassen). Song: *_Valley Of The Queens_* with guest singers Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Anneke van Giersbergen (ex The Gathering) and Marcela Bovio: czcams.com/video/TbebO5BZi-I/video.html
Well for us old timers, you have to throw in some Jan Akkerman one of the world's greatest ever guitarists, and of course Focus. Follow that up with some quintessential Kayak, backed with some Shocking Blue, and of course throw in a wee bit of the Nits, who we in Canada got, LOL. There are more of course and left out the obvious GE.
Love your comments - 'flare for the dramatic', 'thespian background', 'the haircut' [pretty much the wildest 80s mullet ever], 'the chills', 'other-worldly', etc. And YES, it is Styx, and not Journey.
If you liked that one, check out our reaction to Criminal Mind. It was Gowan's first big hit here in Canada, and still my favourite. -M czcams.com/video/H1BHJUeh4hw/video.html

Definitly a 80s sound. Sure has Jon’s influence. Maybe next suggestion!? Yes, Roundabout?
Grtz.Jim ;D
