Hey! It wasn’t mine unfortunately, just a loan so I don’t know about the tuners.

@ No problem

Thank you, that’s very kind of you 🙏

Thank you! 😃

@mixingmasteringonline you're welcome! Are you on Instagram?

Thank you. I took me a while to really appreciate his genius too. Maybe because his greatest period wasn’t when I was discovering music in general.

@@mixingmasteringonline Your welcome, I enjoyed the vid. When I really got into listening to music, though it'd always been in my life, I was born in 65, Bowie, by the late 70's was written off as a glam rock pop star with the likes of Gary Glitter, The Sweet, Slade etc. With hindsight early Bowie & Slade made some superb music. The Sweet to a point too, Garry Glitter, the music - cheesey but at the time him an Alvin Stardust, swoon. Shit, even The Wurzils & Showadywaddy were on TOTP! Sorry, waffling, I'll check your other video's out, & thanks again.

I’d love to do that tour one day!

Thank you! Yeah, that piano’s had quite a life!

He didn’t just sing on it, if I’m not mistaken he produced the whole album as well.

@mariodriessen9740 Mick Ronson & David Bowie 😎 Lou Reed speaks very fond of Bowie in an interview/making of Transformer.

@@Michel-r6m : Ah yes indeed. How could I forget?!?! I had the pleasure of talking to Carmine Rojas once about his work with Bowie. This was approximately half a year after Bowie’s death. He told me about the way he got the gig and about the first time they actually met. What an unbelievably nice guy! He really took the time for me and I could tell he enjoyed talking about him and their time together and he answered all my questions with patience, calmness and a twinkle in his eyes. I will never forget the moment when he took a deep breath, looked me deep into my eyes and said “David was the sweetest man I’ve ever known”. I can’t express how much this meant to me. My sister and I were both huge Bowie fans. Bowie’s music became the soundtrack of my life. I listened to his albums over and over again, I play the guitar and I’ve played some of his songs at home and even during a number of my earliest performances in front of an audience. I asked my girl to marry me while ‘Heroes’ was playing in the background. And it was ‘Heroes’ again being played loudly when we actually married before the eyes of all our friends and family. My only sister and I had already been to a few Bowie concerts. Actually, the first time I saw him was with Carmine! Anyway, she and I were standing all the way up front, just a couple of meters away from the stage when Bowie gave his last concert in the Netherlands. And… we played one of her favourite Bowie songs at her cremation ceremony after she died in 2012. She was my very best friend. We literally never had a fight. We shared the same sense of humour and of course our passion for Bowie’s music. Like I said, Bowie’s music became the soundtrack of my life. So when Carmine Rojas told me how sweet of a man David Bowie was, it meant so much for me. It’s so important to know that your role model is (or was) indeed a role model. I won’t mention names, but I’ve had the experience to be told by people who worked with one of my childhood heroes, plus someone who met the lead singer (yet another hero of mine) of a band that literally covered my bedroom walls with their posters (not them personally of course 😅) that they were complete a**holes. This may sound stupid, but stories like that can break your heart and it changes your perspective on everything that made you feel good when things weren’t so good at all. I must admit that one these stories were at least a bit debatable, not that I doubt what happened (my hero not being nice and acting like it was perfectly fine to belittle one of my friends), but I wasn’t there and things could have easily been taken out of context. The other story about one of my childhood heroes was more believable, especially because of the fact that I’ve heard many very similar stories about the same person. Now, in both cases these stories were being told when my ‘love’ for them had already declined since two decades had passed by then. I’m sorry. I digress. I felt the need to tell you my little story about my conversation with Carmine about David Bowie after I read the kind words of Lou Reed. My apologies for that. I can never keep a story short once I start to write on my iPad. It always happens when stay awake because of my ‘new’ addiction, KZbin. “I really need to sleep, I can’t see anything. O well, this video is only 15 minutes long…” Anyway, again, I apologise for this long and boring read. 🫣

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be looking into it 👍

@mixingmasteringonline its the last album with Ronson, which is to bad because he could have put some great things on Diamond Dogs.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! 😀

Thank you! 😀

Great to know its appreciated, thank you!!

I was 14 years 😊

Great memory! I saw Michael Jackson at Roundhay park in 89, can't believe Leeds had two massive names like that on one night.

@@mixingmasteringonline I think I saw simple minds play roundhay park in 89 on the street fighting years tour. The bands were martin Stevenson and the daintees, the silencers, all about eve then simple minds...twas a good gig spoilt by my mates chatting up some girls and wanting to explore the fair stalls around the perimeter of the gig so it kinda spoilt it for me...u2 and simple.minds are.not what they once were...halcyon days!!!

Thank You!

Thank you!
