Happy Birthday, John Lennon
Today is John Lennon's 70th birthday - had he not been killed in NYC on December 8, 1980. Even though I'm not old enough to even remotely remember him when he was alive, his music and legacy has carried on through the years. I learned about it in my music classes in school, and my parents introduced me to it as well. Its no secret he had a profound effect on so many people - musicians and music lovers alike. I figured it appropriate, on this day, to share a video of my favorite artist at the moment - Jimmy Gnecco - singing Mother, in tribute to Lennon. I know that Lennon's music and legacy will live on through so many - and that's all that any musician can ask for.
I was 11 when Lennon was shot - old enough to remember when he was alive, but a little too young to appreciate his legacy at the time. Fortunately, as an adult, I can respect his artistic vision and pure, unbridled talent.
