Pilot - Call Me Round (1975)

Scottish pop group Pilot didn't get much attention in the U.S., though Magic was a hit in 1974. It's the type of well crafted, melodic soft-rock that would probably have annoyed me once upon a time, but it sounds pretty good right now.

"If you are looking for a conspiracy it's not his death, it's why he's been wiped from history. There is much more room for mavericks now than there was in the 1940s and 50s."

(Bonus for the mention of Hubbard going on to found Scientology.)

If Days are Numbers, then Today is No. 75 for Alan Parsons

From the Dark Side of the Moon to the Eye in the Sky and beyond, Alan Parsons’ life thus far has been a sonic and celestial voyage.

And if, as he says, days are numbers, then today is No. 75 for the traveler who is the subject of this blog post.

Born Dec. 20, 1948, Parsons started big, engineering the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Let it Be LPs - he appears briefly in 2021’s “the Beatles: Get Back” - before handling the same task for Pink Floyd and Dark Side.

From there, Parsons and Eric Woolfson formed the Alan Parsons Project, a studio-only, revolving cast of singers and players who issued 11 albums between 1975 and 1990.

Parsons then launched a solo career and has subsequently taken his eponymous band on the road as the Alan Parsons Live Project.

There’s really nobody quite like Parsons in the musical universe. But any number of folks in the field would probably want to be like him.

Some of those folks - including friends and colleagues Michael McDonald, Al Stewart, the Hollies’ Terry Sylvester, Wings’ Laurence Juber and Ambrosia’s David Pack, all of whom he’s worked with in some other place, somewhere, some other time - are joining Parsons tonight for a 75th-birthday concert benefitting One805 and the First Responders of Santa Barbara County, Calif.

It’s the game these people play.
