Gentle Giant

Fine.

Closed the history book I was studying out of today after a long day of taking notes.  I was so happy when I reached the section about rock music.  Then I listened to Chuck Berry.  That's a lot more fun than listening Cowell's The Banshee.

Then tonight I opened up the notebook in which I took notes and am starting the review of my notes while integrating more music and more Wikipedia/Oxford Dictionary of Music reading.  Tonight I ended with the German Minnesänger, and will be there again tomorrow.

And for an early music type rock song from the '70s:

I had never heard of Gentle Giant before today.  In canon... and there's a fugue!  Actually, the canon is very much like a caccia, where the voices that are in canon exchange parts.  Cool.
