a lot of thought, and recollection would have to go into it, and it'd have to meet criteria such as over the top connection with a time in my life, and it'd have to be genuine from an artistic sense, and a work of art from a musicians point of view. So even though I don't listen to it every day (not in a long time) my favorite tune:

And in many other areas as well.

My tastes have changed on some of the sounds from then, but I'll always have time for Steely Dan.

Such a sad lonely movie and this song played throughout the movie. So awesome.

I don't listen to music so much these days.

Nat was smooth, but Wilie? What do you think? There is no other guitar in the world that sounds like that.

I'll never forget the first time I heard it, 30 years ago. It stopped me in my tracks. I'd never heard anything like it before, and I've never heard anything like it since.

I have hundreds of songs that are tied for the honor. But if there is one song that has influenced my taste in music the most, it would have to be "Who Made Who" by AC/DC. It was the first hard rock song I ever liked. I taped it off a rock and roll station and played it endlessly and as loud as I could get away with. I was 14 at the time. I remember my step-father yelling at me to, "Turn that shit down!"

Saw them twice this year, Cincinnati and here at home, Louisville on August 23. I was on Steve Kilbey's personal vip list and go to see sound check and meet the band. I have been FB friends with some of his family and they arranged it for my wife and I to meet him.

Words by Robert Hunter, music by Jerry Garcia


If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

Silly, perhaps, but I can't even listen to it without a tear (nuts, I know). I love those guys.
