Just finished listening to Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album—again. She is my favorite female singer of all time. Such Blues power! I would have loved to see her and my favorite guitarist—Jimi Hendrix—performing on stage together doing what they did best; awesome screaming Blues! "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..."I'm now listening to The Venture's Greatest Hits. Any of you ancients out there remember Telstar?
The hippies of the sixties are now in their sixties. Fantastic! And they said we'd never amount to anything. I once got fired from a job for not shaving. I don't remember taking many baths back then either. Kept my teeth clean, though.
The first big time rock band I saw in concert: Kiss, opened by Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band.
The most unique guitarist I ever saw in person: Dickey Betts. The most unique band I ever saw in concert: Tie— Judas Priest and ZZ Top. I know, unique is unique, not most unique, and unique cannot be tied! Indulge me!
The most unique Bluesman I ever saw in concert: Johnny Winter.
The most unique person I ever saw in concert: Ted Nugent. No contest there.
The best overall concert I ever saw: Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam. "Ain't it great to be alive and be in Tennessee."
My favorite ballad/rock musician of all time: Neil Young.
My favorite band or musician to listen to a whole lot: Tie—Pink Floyd and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Well, that is enough (too much) listing for today.
The sky is overcast but isn't crying. I'm afraid when the rain does start here—if it does—it will be too much too late.
May the great Flying Spaghetti Monster keep and guide you...
