The origin of the English word gun is considered to derive from the name given to a particular historical weapon. Domina Gunilda was the name given to a remarkably large ballista, a mechanical bolt throwing weapon of enormous size, mounted at Windsor Castle during the 14th century. This name in turn may have derived from the Old Norse woman's proper name Gunnhildr which combines two Norse words referring to battle. "Gunnildr", which means "War-sword", was often shortened to "Gunna".

What's an apathist? One who has no feeling towards anything, or more specifically religion.

I just want to wish you a Happy Easter! "He Is Risen" (not One Eyed Trouser snake, not right now). Btw, Gaba Guncikova accepted Thomas's facebook friend request, so he's a bit happier now. He will celebrate with lots of cheeseburgers, some uppers and a few downers for the night.

Well, an early and in my opinion great example is Free. Mountain did some very nice stuff in this style too.

Europe early 1983. Today, 41 years ago the debut was released, and I stood in a long line to get the album.

Thomas, you don't have to ask. Here's the answer: In the flying community there is a term called lost wingman. That call is made when the wingman loses sight or contact with the lead. The call is made because it's a serious safety of flight issue to be lost or out of contact.

Thomas played me some great Proggish 70's Pomp. Just can't remember if it was Starmaster or Roadcastle - Biden. ; )

Fitting title, now that we're about to get nuked. ; )

After releasing two albums with AOR/Melodic Rock band Streets, ”1st” (1983) and ”Crimes In Mind” (1985), lead singer and keyboardist Steve Walsh returned to Kansas, to revive the band along with original members Phil Ehart (drums) and Rich Williams (Guitar). Furthermore, the lineup was completed by the addition of bassist Billy Greer (from Streets) and young, promising, former Dixie Dregs guitar man Steve Morse, who also contributed with composing skills and backing vocals. Eventually, the group’s ”Power” album was released in November of 1986, rather much to the vintage Kansas and Prog Rock purists dismissal, as I recall it. The heavier sound/direction and absence of violinist Robby Steinhardt, songwriter/keyboardist/guitarist Kerry Livgren and bassist Dave Hope were all contributing factors to the disapproval, it seems. However, mentioned ”Power” should perhaps instead be judged on its own merits, as it is what it is. Put out in a time when commercial Melodic Hardrock was very much in fashion, with FM rock radio and MTV as ever the important ingredients of daily life. In the end, the album actually landed at a respectable No. 35 on the Billboard chart, while the single/ballad ”All I Wanted” eventually rose to an even more impressive No. 19.
