Mood For A Day on Mando

[Michael H Geimer]

Wow. This just made my day. Truly incredible.

[MandoSquirrel]

John Wetton played bass in both U.K. and Asia.

AS well as in the first version of King Crimson to include Bill Bruford on drums.
Mando content: I remember reading an interview with Robert Fripp where he credited his picking pattern as being a mandolin technique.

[mandopete]

Not for nothing, but it ws Greg Lake who played bass in the first version of King Crimson.

[MML]

Nicely done jmcgann, "mood for a day" wow that brings back some memories of my High school days.

[groveland]

Tempest. Gorgon. 1974.

Boy am I ever late on this conversation. Oh well.

"As well as in the first version of King Crimson to include Bill Bruford on drums."

AKA the '72-'74 band.

I can't resist posting this gem from an interview with Paul Craddick (drummer extraordinaire) that I just ran across.

PS: Gotcha. I remember hearing during the Wounded era that Benignus...well, first off, how did Mike Geimer get the name Beningnus?

PC: <laughs> That came from me. I really enjoy to bestow nicknames on people, and when I was at college (a small liberal arts college in this area called St. Mary's College studying philosophy) one of the courses we had - a book we had called Nature, Knowledge and God by a Brother Benignus! This is a catholic college and was setup and kind of administered by the Christian brothers so this book by a Brother Benignus was by a christian brother whose name was Benignus. That's a catholic holy name meaning "good one" or "highest person," that sort of thing - think about words like begnin or benevolent. The latin root of bene meaning "goodness" so Benignus is just a hilarious (to me, at least) name to put on that root. I don't know if he still is, but at that time our Benignus was an atheist, so it seems very appropriate and kind of a funny irony to call him "Benignus," given this catholic holy name.

PS: That's...I'm trying to picture him when you first gave him the title - just looking at you like "huh?"

PC: <laughs> We've always had a tradition within Enchant - especially between Mike and me - of a pompous overly intellectual kind of banter - just having fun, discussing ideas...being serious about it but also kind of making fun of ourselves in the process, so it was something he really took to and appreciated.

Oh Brother Beningus, where art thou???

[Michael H Geimer]

I'm here ... still reeling from that awesome MP3 up top.

[DavidKOS]

Old thread - but I love seeing prog rock, Yes, Steve Howe, et al mentioned!

I was searching for something else and this came up.

[John Uhrig]

Yes and solo Steve Howe are some of my favorites. To get a little more obscure.... Eddie Jobson plays mandolin and looks like Dave Pegg is playing an octave on the song Skating Away on the Jethro Tull video Slipstream

[Don Grieser]

Did anybody save that John McGann recording of Mood for a Day? Would love to hear that.
