    1. Enter a second vote for "Smoke on the Water." Deep Purple's "Machine Head" was the first album I ever bought.

      Delete
    2. There is a music shop in Newcastle Upon Tyne that has a banner painted on the wall, the full length of the shop saying "NO Smoke on the Water". It seems everyone that picks up a guitar plays ... smoke on the water.

      As for what song I'd play on those speakers, you can bet it wouldn't be The Sound of Silence. >};oD

    1. The original version of that one is to die for! About 1/4 the speed of the popular version, some old nigger crooning on a porch down south - old field recordings were a part of the best blues show I ever had the pleasure of listening to:

    2. My second choice, after Tom Sawyer. Why second, you might ask, and rightly you may.
      My wife and I were visiting her brother in Bamberg, Germany, back in 1992. While walking about "old town" we popped into the Bamberg Cathedral. We were fortunate enough to be treated to an organist practicing Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor. It was not my first exposure to Bach's organ masterpiece but my wife and I sat, awestruck at the magnificence of the work and the organist's skill. At that moment it became clear there can be no substitute for a live rendition of this composition in one of Europe's century's-old cathedrals. Nothing else will do it justice.
