My family used to give people the horns all the time, but not with their hands over their head.<br /><br />Every once in a while, I get onto a Dio kick and play everything from him continuous on my iTunes. I start with three of his Elf albums (digitally of course), and listening through all of his rock albums, you hear a great evolution of his sound. Though, Magica is an acquired taste.<br /><br />There's a version of War Pigs with him in Elf floating around. Not the greatest cover, but worth listening to.<br /><br />I've said it before, I have to get here more often.itsok2berighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478158318655473400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-62482689739899197192020-10-14T10:40:21.151-07:002020-10-14T10:40:21.151-07:00You're preaching to the converted as far as I&...You're preaching to the converted as far as I'm concerned. Always considered him to be one of the best ever rock frontmen, sometimes giving me an inadvertent chuckle with the more fanciful lyrics, but what a fabulous voice. Sadly missed.
