【前言】

我非常喜歡古典揺滾音樂(Classic Rock)，偏重於軟揺滾(Soft Rock)，民謡搖滾（Folk Rock）更是我專注的重心。如果曲子好聽，我可以接受硬揺滾(Hard Rock)，但是絕對排斥重金屬(Heavy Metal)。

原因很簡單–唯美。

木吉他聲音好聽，是基於材質密度與師傅手藝，由人類的巧思巧手，把大自然的美發揮到極致。缺點是音量有限，在大場地演奏時要借助麥克風才聽的到，電吉他也因此應運而生。

電吉他本來是好的創意突破，電吉他琴弦較鬆易彈，可以用上推弦等技巧達到最佳效果。可是後來一羣心理有障礙的重金屬廢人，為了刺激早已被藥物麻痺的感官，走極端把音箱放大器變音至完全失真(distortion)，再開足音量，一羣白癡隨刺耳的噪音蹦跳狂吼，發洩不滿情绪，徹底摧毁了吉他聲音原有的美感。

有一個美國同事曾經送我一捲Judas Priest錄音帶，久聞大名，我心理有準備的先把音量關了，果然不錯，一開始音量指針直接跳到頂，就停在那裏不動了，A面放完五秒鐘後，它就進了垃圾桶， adi ó s! ( 西班牙語 – 再見 )

【簡介】

我欣賞的十大樂團之一的Bread是美國加州洛杉磯的（軟）揺滾樂團，在1969年由David Gates（主唱）、Jimmy Griffin吉他、Robb Royer（貝斯）、Mike Botts（鼓）、Larry Knechtel (取代Robb Royer ） 組成。

才華洋溢的主唱David Gates精通多樣樂器，吉他、貝斯、鍵盤、小提琴、中提琴、打撃樂器。、合音Jimmy Griffin亦會三種（吉他、鍵盤、打撃樂器）。Robb Royer 和David 一樣全才，以長笛代替David的小提琴，Mike Botts是鼓手，Larry Knechtel 後來替代了Robb Royer的位置。

看到樂團成員們才藝如此出眾，是又羡慕又嫉妬。難怪他們在八年內（1970-1977）有十三首歌打入熱門排行榜前一百名。不過我只喜歡其中七首，依序介紹。（節譯）Wikipedia

【心語 】

Have you ever tried，really reaching out for the other side?

相互吸引才會接受對方，希望這人瞭解自己，培養默契增強信心，携手同行憧憬未來。

有愛才會在意對方感受，細心體貼重視交流，打開心防分享思潮，心有靈犀走上坦途。
