Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leo Lyons Interview: Ten Years After, Alvin Lee, Woodstock & UFO
Q: What brought you to the attention of Nashville as a songwriter?
Lyons began writing with Tony Crooks in the UK, then traveled to Nashville with song demos and persisted through co-writing, contacts and pitching. He eventually secured a publishing deal and also produced and mixed demos.
Leo Lyons Interview: Ten Years After, Alvin Lee, Woodstock & UFO
Q: What kind of pressure did the Captain Speed Fingers image put on Alvin Lee after Woodstock?
Lyons says the label promoted Lee as a guitar hero, bringing intense attention and interview demands. Lee felt uncomfortable receiving huge audiences' acclaim before playing and preferred performing for smaller crowds.
Ritchie Blackmore Reveals the Guitarists and Music He Listens to Today
Q: Do you listen to much classical music now, as your love for classical music grown, and the composers that you listened to back then when you were younger, has that expanded into kind of areas like Elgar and Vaughan Williams, a more kind of English pastoral kind of music?
Blackmore says his classical tastes have not changed much. He remains a Bach fan and is increasingly impressed by Beethoven, while his main musical outlet remains 16th-century music.
Ritchie Blackmore: In His Own Words – Episode Four.
Q: I never personally watch footage of myself. I'm very self-conscious. I prefer not to see myself and not to hear myself talking. So Autumn was back to her headphones listening to Taylor Swift.
The guest explains his discomfort with film and audio recordings, noting a preference to avoid watching or listening to his own performances, which suggests a focus on living in the moment and trusting others' impressions.
Ritchie Blackmore: In His Own Words – Episode 2 | I Nearly Changed My Mind
Q: Let's find out. Once you'd made the decision to rejoin Deep Purple for this one song, Smoke on the Water, did you have any doubts at all? I guess the next morning.
The host asks about whether the decision to rejoin the band came with doubts and how the morning after looked, prompting the guest to reflect on nerves and commitment.
