When the Snowman Brings the Snow...

Keeping with the musical sentiments of the Christmas season, here is an offering of a slightly different kind..  Drifting away from classical and traditional fare, I thought it would be good to post some more modern tunes; tunes that have become just as familiar as carols in the UK at this time of the year.

A Bit of Glam Rock (Part Two)....

Last month I focused on three of the bands who spearheaded the British Glam Rock boom in the early '70's.  This time, we will look at another three groups, although one - as you will see - were a little different to the others.

A Bit of Glam Rock (Part One)....

Not a term that will be familiar to a lot of Americans, "Glam Rock" was a music genre that seemed to epitomise the British rock scene of the early 1970's.   Encompassing a number of styles, including heavy metal, art rock, doo-wop, and the psychedelic sounds of the 60's, the acts were known for their outlandish appearance and clothes.  While the fashions may have not lasted, the music certainly has.
