In the record

Roger David Glover (born 30 November 1945) is a Welsh musician, songwriter, and record producer. The birth-card coordinate for November 30 is the 3 of Hearts — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2016 Performers with Deep Purple induction.

The 3 of Hearts coordinate

Roger Glover's birthday maps to the 3 of Hearts (The Creative Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Roger Glover. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You let love have range without using newness as an exit from the one that is already here.

Roger Glover in the public record

He is best known as a bass guitarist and member of the hard rock band Deep Purple and formerly Rainbow. As a member of Deep Purple, Glover was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2016. Glover was born near Brecon, Wales, and moved with his family to the South Kensington area of London at the age of nine. Around that time, his interests started to shift towards rock music, and by the time he was thirteen, he began playing guitar. He later moved to the North London district of Pinner, and while at Harrow County School for Boys he formed his first band, Madisons, with a group of friends; in time this merged with a rival band to become Episode Six, a band which later featured Glover's future Deep Purple bandmate, vocalist Ian Gillan. The two left Episode Six in 1969 to join Deep Purple. Glover spent four years (1969–1973) with Deep Purple, during which the band saw their most successful releases in the albums Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Who Do We Think We Are and the live album Made in Japan. He is credited with developing the title for the band's iconic song "Smoke on the Water", thus inspiring the song's lyrics which were written by Ian Gillan.

Also on the record

1. Glover says the title came to him when he awoke from a dream two days after the famous fire over Lake Geneva.
2. While he liked the title, he was reluctant to have the band use it because he initially thought it sounded like a drug song.
3. Glover also developed the guitar riff to "Maybe I'm a Leo", stating, "I wrote the riff to 'Maybe I'm a Leo' after hearing John Lennon's 'How Do You Sleep?'." Glover contributed bass on Jon Lord's first solo album, Gemini Suite (1971), and was the featured soloist in the bass movement.
4. Glover departed Deep Purple, along with Gillan, after the band's second tour of Japan in June 1973.
