The musicians playing along with GL have always been second to none.The guitar lick that comes after the first verse in "The minstrel of the Dawn" is recorded like it was coming from the backgrownd while the other instruments are more in the front.It gives a feeling of "way back when" to the song. The orchestration in "Does your Mother Know" seems to complete the words of the song, like if the strings section was telling of all the love she has.Who wrote the orchestration by the way? I've always been a fan of Pee Wee Charles. It's too bad that the steel- guitar has been pushed aside by the synths. Not that I don't like synths; I like Patrick Moraz and Rick Wakeman and so and so especialy the european players. To me the synths are irrelevant in GL music. Who will remember the names of the synths players in the last few albums GL made? Do you? ...and don't cheat! But as for the rest, that's just an oppinion.Salute.
