This is the honest to God truth
Gina:
My youngest daughter loves Bob Marley.
John, Claudia, everybody, throw up some links to your favorite musicians.
Jerry mentioned Pink Floyd and this is my favorite Pink Floyd tune. I love it.

The lyrics are hysterical and oddly familiar ;-). Written from the perspective of the band's signing agent (or whatever you call them):
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

My dad was a huge pink floyd fan. Mine would be a toss up between Van Halen and Kiss. If Gene Simmons can be saved, then truly we do have an amazing God ;D
Gina:
haha, Shawwwnn.
Yeah, all my Jr. High School girlie friends loved Kiss. Mmm.HM!
I was raised on Joni Mitchell, Herb Alpert, Ray Charles, Jimmy Hendrix ("Only the best guitarist ever to have lived." ~brother Scott), Zeppelin (Jimmy Page--second-best guitarist ever, same brother lol), Springsteen, Alice Cooper, Floyd, Deep Purple, Janice Joplin, Steely Dan, Lawrence Welk & Tom Jones (Thanks Mom!! lol) and Christmas Music and you name it!
Not a trace of Elvis or the Beatles--well, except for my friend, Melinda Lovejoy (isn't that a cool name?). She had every single, solitary Beatles' album (vinyl back then, lol). We were five and she played them whenever I went to visit her. We were friends for about a year. ;)
thetruth:
Hello again: Jimmy Hendrix ("Only the best guitarist ever to have lived." ~brother Scott), Zeppelin (Jimmy Page--second-best guitarist ever, same brother lol
...as per your quote: Hendrix...now there is a good one.I would say Randy Rhodes has a nice shot at number 2 as second-best guitarist ever.Though i know of many who think his the best.Jimmy page is awesome though.SAW him with the Firm in Atlanta in the Omni...it was great and saw Eric Clapton the next night.One that hasnt been mentioned also The Rolloing Stones I won 2 tickets off a radio station and went to see them in Birmingham on the KDF...BUS .WHAT STORIES I COULD TELL YOU.... HAHA.
One the buses broke down and they had to put us all on the same bus.We all sang Rolling Stones songs all the way there.When my sister married her name changed to Stone.When she had a son and i begged her to name him Rolling...but she would not...lol..AHH...MEMORIES,,,THAT REMIND YOU HOW FAR THE FATHER has brought you!
