It’s actually turned into busy day for my posts, so I was just being lazy earlier, the next guy is a legend, Jack Bruce was born on May 14th 1943 in Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire.

Jack was born to musical parents who travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S.A, he attended 14 different schools, finishing his formal education at Bellahouston Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, to which he won a scholarship for cello and composition. He left the Academy and his homeland at the age of 16, because of poverty and discouraged by his professors’ lack of interest in his ideas.

After playing with some of the elite of rock during the early 60’s and turning down the chance to play in Marvin Gaye’s band Jack formed Cream with Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton.  The band were a massive success in just over two years they were  awarded their first ever platinum disc for Wheels of Fire.
Jack wrote and sang most of the songs, including I Feel Free, White Room, Politician and perhaps the world’s most performed guitar riff, in Sunshine Of Your Love. Cream split in November 1968 at the height of their popularity; Jack felt that he had strayed too far from his ideals and wanted to re-discover his musical and social roots.

Bruce went on to collaborate with the likes of Frank Zappa, Lou Reed,  Cozy Powell, Gary Moore and Jon Anderson, as well as producing the soundtrack for the Scottish film The Slab Boys, with; Lulu, Edwyn Collins, Eddi Reader and the Proclaimers.

Bruce had suffered a period of declining health, after many years of addictions which he finally beat with clinical treatment, and in 2003 was diagnosed with liver cancer. In September 2003, he underwent a liver transplant, which was almost fatal, as his body initially rejected the new organ. He recovered, and in 2004 re-appeared to perform Sunshine of Your Love at a Rock Legends concert in Germany organised by the singer Mandoki.

He continued to perform in the 10 years or so up to his death of liver disease on 25 October 2014, in Suffolk, England.

In my opinion Cream were the greatest rock group of the 60’s and I think Bruce is a bit like the forgotten man of rock. 

The song I’ve chosen is  Weird Of Hermiston, it’s title comes from an  unfinished novel,  Weir Of Hermiston, by Robert Louis Stevenson,  , although the lyrics make no reference to the story.

Please check out the song, watch it until the end, the wee look between Bruce and the cellist is great. 

I’m goin’ to a wedding
I’m going to a wedding dressed in black

I’m going to a party
Going to party, won’t be back
Cause I’m not going with you
No

Trees are no longer a comfort
Messages sad in the wires
My hair is hung down
With the blackest of rain that I’m feeling

I’m going to the river
I’m going to the river wash my tears

I’m going to the mountains
Going to the mountains cool my fears
That I’m not going with you
No

Skies are no longer a comfort
Leaves turning black in the autumn
The corn is hung down
With the heaviest rain I am feeling

I’m going to a funeral
I’m going to a funeral dressed in white

I’m going to a nightclub
I’m going to a nightclub sleep with night
And I’m not going with you
No

Love is no longer a comfort
Fantastic times are forgotten
My heart is hung down
With the saddest of rain that I’m feeling

I accidentally engaged with a product that teaches you to play piano and now all of my advertisements are piano learning products like keyboards where the keys light up and I … already play piano … I took lessons for 10 years …

I have two weeks until my concert at my own graduation, where I’ll be playing Chopin’s impromptu op. 36. I started practicing the piece under three months ago and it isn’t even nearly ready, so I will have a painful two weeks ahead of me.

So how did/is it going??

Thanks for reminding me that I made this post :D I have a bit under a week left before the concert and I have taken two videos of me playing the piece. I’ll upload them when I’ve found a good video editing app and I’ve cut the videos so that they aren’t too long.

It’s going surprisingly well. I have improved a lot even though it’s only been a week and I think I won’t mess up too bad at the concert. There is still a lot of work to be done, especially the right hand runs are difficult and the left hand march-style thing too.

I believe jn you yes definitely upload a video when you feel up to it!
