Voice primarily, but during my lifetime also piano, guitar, trombone (or pretty much any brass instrument), some percussion, recorder (soprano, alto and tenor), tin whistle, organ -- some much better than others.

The only things I play with any regularity now are guitar, piano and tin whistle. I want to learn harmonica.

So far, the only band listed that I have a problem with are the Eagles. Just don't like them. By nature, I must like the Allman Brothers!

My theory on Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young (and I love them, esp the first three) is that everybody likes them because no matter how badly you sing, you'll be in harmony with one of them! I'd have a very hard time picking my favorite of their songs, but Carry On, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, and Wooden Ships are definitely in the top five.

More classic than southern: the Grassroots. We had a chapter sister who absolutely loved them (her first concert), and would sing their entire greatest hits album when, well, swamped.

How about:
Otis Redding
Willie Nelson
Govt Mule

Love all of those, but my favorite is Helplessly Hoping.

The three, all of whom are still in the band, have received a National Citation and in 2009 were named Signature Sinfonians, our highest award for alums who have brought honor to the Fraternity through a high standard of accomplishment in their profession or commitment to service.

Don't they also have a hot dog store near DePaul?

Are we forgetting Charlie Daniels, or did I just miss him?

Yes, I know. That's why I'm confused.

Nevermind though.

"Dust in the Wind" is prominent in the soundtrack of my high school life. Ditto "Carry On My Wayward Son."

That would make you slightly younger than I.

Kansas came out with "Point of Know Return" and "Leftoverture" when I was in college. Incidently, they are headlining the Great NC Beer Fest in Tanglewood on the 28th of August.

Arena Rock - Aerosmith/ZZTop/Kansas/Journey/Boston/Styx/Foreigner/Heart/REO Speedwagon/Cheap Trick/Queen/Frampton.

The times were great and there was a pungent aroma in the air.

AGDee 08-04-2010 04:15 PM

Queen
Styx
Electric Light Orchestra
Foreigner


And, I cannot BELIEVE nobody has mentioned Yes yet. or the Who either.

Also love Chicago, REO, Steely Dan

All rock was great rock back then.

I want YOU to want MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ABB

I didn't live in Macon, GA for 10 years without developing an even deeper appreciation for the Allman Brothers Band. I still have my 45 of "Ramblin' Man" from 1975. No pilgrimage to Macon is complete without eating at the H&H (eat Southern fried goodness cooked by the woman who toured with the ABB) and paying homage to Duane and B.O. at Rose Hill Cemetery. And yes, I was there at the concert in the mid 1980s when they started their comeback and Gregg forgot the words to "Whippin' Post." I've seen them in concert more than any other recording artist. Ahhh the memories.
