My first introduction to Deep Purple was through the song
Smoke on the Water and the first album I purchased was Made in Japan an
excellent live album.
My father always played classical music and while it was
enjoyable at times he played it relentlessly and took great delight in making
us sit and listen to it. Fortunately he also liked a bit of country music so we
did get variety.
Oddly enough the more I dabbled into Deep Purples music the
more I found the classical side of their talents which in turn gave me a
greater appreciation of the great composers. When one listens to the song
Highway Star the guitar solo and organ have that Bach like sound to them.
The changing faces of Deep Purple took me on a musical
journey that I am still enjoying even today. Medieval rock with Rainbow to
Medieval minstrel with Blackmore’s Night or the bluesy rock of Whitesnake and
of course Deep Purple are still rocking it now all have a special place in my
life.
Like most people who have a favourite band I can sit and
listen for days.
They say music is the spice of life I believe music is life.
