Nice one, Ken. I remember a story Gallagher's brother told about Van Morrison asking Rory Gallagher to work on an album with him. Gallagher was absolutely chuffed and cancelled the rest of the tour he was on at the time. He went round Morrison's house to discuss the details, and Morrison said he was just popping out to get something to eat. Gallagher waited about 2 hours then started to think, 'This is a bit odd.' Turns out Morrison had driven straight to the airport and flown to LA without telling him. Needless to say, Gallagher thought Morrison was a complete and utter c**t from then on.
Tired of playing every instrument himself, Todd Rundgren decides to make an album with no instruments at all, just layer upon layer of his voice and the odd handclap. Great vocal on a beautiful song
