- I may be stretching it, but with the traffic level of this group hitting rock
- bottom, I'll continue.
-
- In my teens (circa 1980's) I thought of symphonic as any band that had at least
- one violinist (country may be excluded) There was a band called Shooting Star
- that had one or two hits. One of them was called "Last Chance" It was kind
- of long but the finale was that every instrument got a break at the end of
- the song in what I thought was a kool jam.
-
- Personally, I thought that ELO and Alan Parsons did fantastic jobs with
- their arrangements. This prompted me to buy all of their albums. When the
- the Beatles decided to throw in a quartet, they also had many memorable
- arrangements.
-
- Anyway,
- Goodday!
