Re: random notes (and I mean RANDOM)



Actually, the perfectly appropriate song would have been Tribute to Barney Kessel (performed much of the original
muzak ) off the same album.  I've seen a friend of mine (previously mentioned) play it absolutely perfectly, 
and it is an impressive piece of playing. Kinda rekindled my original love for Townshend's playing when it came
out...   Townshend's chording, like many of his generation, was heavily Django influenced, even if it was via 
other players a generation before his.  I suspect Townshend would give direct credit there, however... The only
other contemporary (perhaps a bit older) of his who had truly great, truly underrated chording ability was Lennon.
Once again, the chords, when played ballparked, are mundane, but when Lennon applied his magic to it, well, let`s
just say his secrets went to the crematorium with him..
