A local guy here up in Toronto, Greg Godovitz, wrote a biography book called 'Travels With My Amp' get it, it's a hilarious read, all true stuff from his years as a musician...
In it Greg mentioned that he was hanging with Mike Oldfield when he was writing Tubular Bells..apparently Oldfield had most of the piece hand written on a bunch of music charts and Greg was trying to start a fire (campfire or something like that)...he grabbed Mike's charts for Tubular Bells and started the fire with them...Mike had to write it all over again from memory, he was pissed!...true story...Tubular Bells could have been different. :D

Incredible album for it's time, and to think, Mike Oldfield was only 19 when he wrote the music and 20 when it was released!! I haven't heard it since I was a kid (1974).
:thu:



I can't tell you how many times I listened to that tune stoned outta ma brain on some wicked "BLACK AFRICAN" weed back in 1975 while in University.

It's a stoner's tune imo...:cool:
