Daydream - Robin Trower

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eldS990JOHo

We were laughing in a daydream
With the world beneath our feet
And the sun smiled on the water
Where the sky's and the ocean meet

We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were listening down on the rainbow
As the leaves fell to the ground
Whispering as they tumble
And the wind laughed at the sound

We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were children in a garden
Where the flowers kiss the sky
And the birds sang out in wonder
As the day went sailing by

We were spellbound
Mmmm spellbound
Ohhh spellbound
Mmmm spellbound
Ohh spellbound


I have been a Robin Trower fan for decades, seen Robin perform numerous occasions, and it was my extreme pleasure to see Robin close the show at the Fitzgerald Theater last July in Saint Paul with Daydream. Of all the Trower shows I have ever seen I have never seen Robin play anything but a Strat; my favorite guitar of all time. Long live Robin Trower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daydream is one of my favorite Trower songs.....the live version is superb. I love how the snare drum rattles when he hits one of those single notes that sustains for days......

Alot of people bag on Trower as being a Hendrix rip off wannabe (just like people bag on Kenny Wayne Shepard as being a Stevie Ray clone) but Robin's work stands on his own - going all the way back to Procol Harem. Kenny's on the other hand.......

As a long haired high school kid in the 70's, the first time I heard Too Rolling Stoned, it mesmerized me and my interest in playing guitar was born.....
 
and another in the same vein; never gets the credit he deserves;

I can't watch youtube at the moment Roger, my old PC is dying a slow and painful death! I'm getting a new one in the next two weeks though.

Something a bit more modern today for me....
