Eric Carmen

The wife and I are streaming all his hits now in honor of his life. Since we need be somewhere in about 30 minutes, it will be perfect timing.  All kidding aside, We are singing along.  I love Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 and every time I hear it, I sing along...

RIP Eric C

And Celine Dion took ALL BY MYSELF into a totally different level...  Hope she is recovering... 

@bdp24 i just checked out "this whole world" and the chords do fly by, but there's only 7 or so different ones--"let's pretend" has something like 20. "if i fell" by the beatles (13 chords) is another one that changes in a flash. i personally struggle with more than 3.

@loomisjohnson: Wow, I'll have to give "Let's Pretend" a listen. Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard ("I Fall To Pieces" being one he wrote) coined the term "Three chords and the truth" to describe Country music songs.

The Raspberries wore matching suits and were unashamedly a Pop Group during the 1970's, when both were considered uncool in the world of Rock music.

Celine Dion took a beautiful Eric Carmen song that borrowed heavily from Rachmaninov and reduced it to soppy, cheesy milquetoast for soccer moms.  
“Let’s Pretend” has 10 chords, btw.
