Classic Song 6 - Airwaves "You Are The New Day"

Let's talk about classic music.

And right now, I wanna talk about a classic, late 70s tune by

a couple of talented 'studio cats', collectively called Airwaves.

The song, "You Are The New Day" fell into my lap while I was 

playing and touring in a progressive rock band called Rhinegold,

featuring a very young Lawrence Gowan on vocals and piano.

At that time, most of my favorite music was lumped into either

the 'prog' or 'fusion' camps, and featured complex rhythms a la

Patrick Moraz' "The Story of I" or intricate instrumental blends 

a la Yes' "The Gates of Delirium". Was I a diehard fan of these

challenging genres of music?

YOU BET YOUR ASS, I was!

So imagine my surprise and true wonder when I first heard the

opening chorale from "...New Day", which nestled softly and

reassuringly, deep inside my consciousness - and which has

resided there ever since.

Check out the song, after you check out this photo, taken in NYC.
