6518. Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J6DvnYcCS._SX522_.jpg
From: Blizzard of Ozz; Year: 1980; Genre: Heavy Metal
As probably everyone by now is aware, musical legend and heavy metal's "Prince of Darkness" Ozzy Osbourne passed away. I knew he was getting up there in years and heard about his recent farewell gig a couple of weeks ago, but it seems downright eerie thinking about him no longer amongst the living; well, at least he's been reunited with Randy Rhodes and the many others he used to play and make music history with. Funny when I think about all the "gold plated" hypocrites back in the day saying he was of the devil and such; he's probably looking down with a huge grin on his face.
Anyway, I knew I needed to choose one from his vast catalogue today and was surprised that Crazy Train was not among those of his I have already picked. This is not only one of his signature tracks, but is also the one that got me into his music. It was also one of the first five songs I learned to play as well, so it is a very personal favourite obviously. 
 
Rock in Peace Ozzman! \m/ \m/

About My Song A Day Blog:

Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
