Fly Away :(

August 06, 2013

Remember those old analogy quizzes?  Here’s one for you:

Guitar    is to    Jimi Hendrix
as
Synthesizer    is to:    ??? 

Granted, there’s no single right response here.  But mine would be: the great George Duke, who passed away last night. 

Sadly, Seaside’s soaring, stomach-rumbling, scream-inducing JetStar rollercoaster got swept to sea by Sandy.  But if you’re jonesin’ for that thrill ride, just click and give a listen to Jimi’s “House Burning Down” or “Message of Love” (live Band of Gypsies version). 

…or...

George Duke’s “Fly Away” or his “Tryin’ & Cryin’.”

Who needs a rollercoaster?

Would love to know who you’d pick for that analogy quiz.
