Jean-Jacques Birgé<p>MIKE RATLEDGE<br>Encore un héros de ma jeunesse de parti...<br>Je suis allé brancher un orgue sur ma nouvelle pédale de distorsion en hommage à Mike Ratledge dont j'essayais d'imiter le son lorsque j'étais minot. Je crois me souvenir qu'il avait un Lowrey. J'aimais Keith Emerson pour le show rock 'n roll (mort en 2016), Richard Wright pour la plane en rose (mort en 2008), Sun Ra pour le free (mort en 1993), mais Soft Machine c'était vraiment ce qui nous mettait en transe !<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mikeratledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mikeratledge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/softmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>softmachine</span></a></p>
