Just magnificent...
...the buildup, the vocals, the drums in the chorus along with the distorted guitar in the background...
...just lovely :kiss:.

I've always adored this song ever since it first came, and I still do.
Great suggestive feeling, wonderful harmonies, wonderful melodies, lovely vocals.
Perfect. Just perfect. :kiss:

Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow

. Not much saxaphones these days, too difficult to play?

The demand isn't there. One or more mouth to feed.

And in addition to Chatgpt I would add that the late 70s and 80s smooth jazz slop did not do saxophones any favours.

Huh I just listened to this one yesterday. It's a good one. My fave Red House is from Randall's Island. It blasts off into outer space.

Electric guitars replaced wind instruments because one man with an amp could be louder than a whole big band. Big savings.

You can still have a sax but they spend most of their time just standing there waiting to take a solo.

I like guitar but all the guitars and amps in the world cannot replace saxophones

I remixed it to tame the excessive ebass and got rid of the watermark.

Here's a unique version, Red House sung to Howling Wolf's Killing Floor. JH is having a good time jamming in a club as opposed to being down with the blues. With Buddy Miles and an inaudible Johnny Winter.

Sure. I'm talking about money, not art.
