What’s a music fact most people don’t know?

Steven Adler played on the Civil War recording. His only song on the Illusion albums.

As Debussy and Jon Anderson note

The popular song "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12-24" is not a Trans-Siberian Orchestra song. It is by Savatage.

They just put it on the first TSO release since everyone in Savatage was involved with the album.

David McCallum was a musician and composer before getting into acting, most famously as the chief of the NCIS division. He wrote the break beat for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's hit "The Next Episode"

Tennessee Earnie Ford never mined 16 tons of coal in his life.
I don't believe Johhny Cash killed a man in Reno either.
Every guitar string does the same thing, it just starts out open in a different note.
RVZ wrote a song titled "Pimple Man", but somebody convinced him that it wouldn't be all that great.

The theme song from Spies Like Us was written and performed by Paul McCartney!

Ummm, everybody knows this. It was a hit.

What you should have added was that John Landis who directed the movie hated the song.

Stevie Wonder can't read music either.

When playing triplets



To keep count, most people will say (or think) "trip ul let, trip ul let, trip ul let, trip ul let"

If you ever come across quarter note triplets



You're basically removing every other beat from the regular triplet. So you'd count it like " trip let ul trip let ul"

To get a feel for the quarter note triplet, play regular triplets with your hands, like playing a drum - right left right left right left right left right left right left"

Every right hand beat you play would be a single beat in the quarter note triplet.

I played these wrong for years. Instead of treating them like a triplet, I'd play them like this instead

I always loved the song and only realized about 2 weeks ago that Paul had done it. And I'm a massive Beatles fan.
