I'm also a huge folk fan, and really I think it was the folk experience that helped me appreciate The Beatles when they first hit. I've always been a big fan of vocal harmony, so wherever it's found, in groups like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles, folk groups, doo wop, Four Preps, Four Aces in Broadway musicals, etc, that's what gets me going. Absolutely love the Sing-Off on NBC.

Good job Richie! Vocal harmony is also my passion (as a listener, not a performer unfortunately). I have DVDs of the Four Preps, Four Aces, Brothers Four, Kingston Trio, PP&M, The Four Lads, America, The Eagles............................................ .................

I was actually pretty close, given that I haven't heard this for probably 45 years or so! Now I can send this to my band mates and they will fianlly realize that I wasn't making it all up! Can't wait to get to TV so we can start to find people to make music with. I know there are a ton of talented people there! By the way, I'm thinking of changing my sign in name to match my license plate here in VA: BTLFAN. Thanks again

You're welcome bandsdavis. I'm always searching out music on the internet and so when you made your request I had to look for it. I'm thrilled that you're thrilled.

I never heard of Joe & Eddie and loved this track. So I have to thank you for making me aware of it.

[GoldenMan]

Lynyrd Skynyrd most definitely. I don't know of any other music that gives me chill bumps and hits my soul as they do. 'Simple Man' is my favorite song by them.

[Uptown Girl]

Enjoy this baby!

My "Wow" moment was the first time I heard the Dave Brubeck Quartet play "Take Five". That was it for me. I don't think I've heard anything since that had the same effect (although "Hey, Jude" was the song I shared with my first love back in the 60's).

You want a WOW moment; I got to see/hear Mel Torme' play drums to "Sing, Sing, Sing"!!!!

[Number 6]

And I want to mention my five favorite groups of the 60s - The Beatles, Hollies, Byrds, Rascals and Spoonfull. Sorry Herman!
Also, three favorite concerts; 1) Sir Paul (2005), 2) Elvis (1976) and 3) John Sebastian (1971).

I love "sing, sing,sing" but never thought Mel Torme played drums. Always learning new artists and new things here. For me, I still like Gene Krupa with the drums for that particular tune. Though realizing there are more rock and jazz fans here, I have a question to Country & Western fans, if any out there.
Recently a new CD came out titled The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams. They were apparently lyrics of Hank not put to music and Bob Dylan got hold of. Bob Dylan sings only one song but others are by Patty Loveless, Norah Jones, Vince Gill et al. If you have listened to them, did you like the music Bob Dylan worked on? I hear some should become a country standard.

This is a difficult question as my interests are all over the place. I've been a musician (organist) all my life and so was my Mother, and pianists Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. When I started playing it was to please my parents so I played songs going back to the 1920's. Then in the 60's the Beatles came along and I was in Rock and Roll bands through college and til the late 70's playing in weekend bands. Occasionally still do. When I'm playing for others I like to play dance music (preferably 50's, 60's, early 70's) as I enjoy seeing people dance to the music I help create although I've also played concert type music of the heavy variety, ie, Doors, a little Greatful Dead, Who, Byrds, Lovin Spoonful, Steppenwolf, but preferring 3 Dog Night, Santana (early), Rascals, Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears. At home I listen to various types mentioned add in the Eagles, Doobies, Winwood, Wilson Pickett, et al, plus beautiful harp music. I don't consider rap as music. Also not big on single artists as I prefer groups but don't know why that is but that being said there are some single artists I enjoy. I really like pianists. Have been to concerts by Liberace, Ferrante & Teicher, and a couple I can't remember. I really like pipe organ music in the old theatres. One of the best I seen in person is Hector Oliveria from Brazil and Bob Ralston of Lawrence Welk fame and like to listen to Joann Castle of that show playing her honky tonk piano. I've seen the Allman Brothers when they were the Allman Joys; Jimi Hendrix as opening band for the Monkees in Jacksonville, FL and well as Jimi in New Orleans; was on stage helping with 3 Dog Night concert and met Hoyt Axton who performed and wrote some of their songs; saw Ike and Tina Turner; performed on stage as dual act with the Grassroots; performed with members of Wet Willie band before they formed that group; saw Doctor John from New Orleans and probably a few others that memory is not recalling just now. Have recorded in Nashville at an old famous defunct studio called Bradley's Barn. I like the powerful sounds of theatre pipe organs and have helped restore 2 Robert Mortons in Saenger Theatres but these days at home I play simple stuff for my own amusement as well as restore old Hammond organs and Leslie speakers for them. I'd like to get in a 50's/60's R&R band when I get to TV. It's hard these days to find venues of people who like to dance to the older music. Seems TV might just be the place! How do I pick one influence? Heck, I forget the question.

If you did The Rascals (Felix) and The Doors (Manzarek) you must be an accomplished organist.

[CaptJohn]

Thanks for the kind words.
Over the years (40 or so now?) it has faded without a lot of practice. That's one reason I'd like to play again.
Light My Fire was a fun one to play as well as all of Felix's songs (Come on Up, Mustang Sally, Groovin, It's a Beautiful Morning and Midnight Hour come to mind). We even did the full length version of 'When the Music's Over'. That was tough to learn! 17 minutes as I recall. We did most of that album.

When The Music' Over is a classic keyboard song. To play the complete version had to be an experience. And Felix's Good Lovin and Lonely Too Long had to be on your play list as well. Did you do The Animals- House Of The Rising Sun...another organ classic.

CaptJohn you certainly have a wide taste in music. I love all kinds of music except hip hop, rap and the like. Hi Tom, Happy Thanksgiving and look forward to your return to TV. Currently with our son's family for Thanksgiving and now waiting for pumpkin and pecan pie while the young wash the dishes. Glad to be old and playing around with I-pad instead of washing dishes. Back to music. Certainly love to hear your music one of these days, CaptJohn. You mentioned Mustang Sally. Have you watched the movie "the Commitments"? They were good with that song. You mentioned recording in Nashville but never mentioned Country Music. You don't like them?
