Oowatanite, Myles, Oowatanite.

 

In the realm of rock and roll, where the anthems of an era echo through time, we bid farewell to a true maestro of the strings, Myles Goodwyen of April Wine. With a heart heavy with both nostalgia and respect, we reflect on the legacy of a musician whose notes forged a bridge between generations.

Myles, the virtuoso behind the soul-stirring chords of "Oowatanite," has left us, but his music remains etched in the fabric of our memories. His fingers danced across the frets like poetry, creating a sonic landscape that defined an era of rock. When the riff of "Oowatanite" would erupt from the speakers, it wasn't just a song; it was an anthem that echoed the spirit of a time when rebellion and freedom were in the very air we breathed.

His guitar wasn't merely an instrument; it was a conduit for emotions that transcended the boundaries of language. It spoke to the dreamers, the rebels, and the seekers of a rhythm that resonated with the pulse of life. Myles Goodwyen didn't just play the guitar; he painted with sound, and his masterpiece was etched into the hearts of those who listened.

In the spotlight, Myles was a maestro, but offstage, he was a gentle soul whose humility mirrored the authenticity of his music. He wasn't just a rockstar; he was a storyteller, a troubadour whose tales were told through the strings of his guitar. The resonance of his artistry created a bridge between the artist and the audience, a connection that remains unbroken even as we mourn his departure.

As we say our goodbyes, let us not mourn the silence of Myles's guitar but celebrate the symphony of life he gifted us. Each strum, each chord, and every electrifying note was a testament to the enduring power of music to capture the essence of our shared human experience.

Oowatanite, Myles, Oowatanite. Your music lives on, an eternal refrain that echoes in the hearts of those who were touched by the magic of your fingers on those strings. May you find eternal peace in the cosmic symphony, and may your legacy continue to inspire generations to come.

Tribute Baby Please Don’t Go - Big Joe behind the wheel of a Plymouth Fury 3

The first time I heard "Baby, Please Don't Go," it hit me like a musical thunderbolt. The bluesy riffs grabbed hold of my ears, and before I knew it, my head was involuntarily bobbing like a nodding dog on a dashboard. The raw, soulful vocals penetrated my musical soul, and I couldn't escape the infectious groove.

From Muddy Waters to AC/DC, each rendition brought its unique flavor, turning a simple request into a timeless musical journey.

Zeppelin Tribute

"Stairway to High Times"

There's a lady who's sure all that glows is green,

And she's planting a stairway to high times.

When she gets there she knows, the dank buds will gleam,

With a toke, sweet Mary Jane aligns.

If you blaze too much, you'll soon find your way,

Through the haze of the lady's green tower.

On her stairway to high times, she leads you astray,

With the puff, magic herbs empower.

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants you to burn,

In her garden of earthly delights.

Sometimes all of our thoughts, they misguide us,

And whispers of weed fill the night.

If you're blazing and brave, then join in her rhyme,

There's still time to change your highway.

She's planting a stairway to high times,

With the ganja, she shows you the way.

On a dark desert highway,
