Without giving away clues, what kinda music do you like?

I like (in no particular order):

bluegrass
old country music
blues ie J.L. Hooker, Muddy Waters, the Nighthawks
jazz from the "cool" era ie Miles Davis
classical ie Mozart
50's music
stuff that doesn't categorize for me, like James Brown
swing and big band
most of the classic rock by the real bands, like the stones, beatles, zepelin, allmans, etc.

and anything by Elvis

Hi
Sort of on topic....I saw YES on the 28th with a symphony orchestra in Toronto...it was amazing...these guys are pushing 60(sorry JB) and they sound as good as when I saw them in 1974....if you have high speed you can watch a concert(without orchestra)from last year at:

Yeh Right!

All music.....................

[John Bridge]

Hate to tell you this, and if these guys are pushing 60 I ought to know them, but I have never heard of "Yes."

I have heard of everyone else, though. :D

[flatfloor]

John you and I must be musically challenged, I never heard of Yes either, used to get a lot of maybes.

Rob, no need to apologize, pushin 60 isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. Besides, I'm not pushing, I'm riding.

[Simple]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Times up. The name of the song is Finally Friday by George Jones off the 1992 Walls can Fall album.

My wife and I were fortunate to have seen the Man last year at the Arena Place. It's a small indoor arena off the 59 near belt 8 in Houston. The worst seat in the house is 50' from the stage.

Bri,

I can relate, I have the Union album 1991.

Rob,

I like all the styles of music you have listed.

[JC]

How did you guys let that beer slip past you!

Hip hop music here mostly
And the classic rock songs
And I used to play lead guitar in a band once myself. speed rock and heavy medal stuff. It would take hours on end to learn some of those leads..It seemed I had the hardest job in the band and took alot of time only to have them want to change the song line-up at the last minute.

Blues and jazz is kwel too.

[Rob Z]

JC

Did you ever play any Sabbath?

Z

[Simple]

Hey speak'n of heavy I've seen AC/DC 8 times in CA. I've mellowed out quite a bit over the last 5 years, kids and all.......

[Rob Z]

I still love to blast the Bon Scott-era ACDC now and then.

Z

[JC]

Yea I can and have played just about every Sabbath and AC DC song out there. As far as difficulty goes those are probably the easiest and first bands you start to learn.
Basic blues scale, figure out the three basic chords and that tells you what key it is played in, then just only play the notes in that key useing common bends and riffs and walla your done.

[John Bridge]

I thought AC/DC was a gender orientation problem.

Not. I know it's a C&W group.

I've only got about a dozen chords that I can play without looking, but we have an arsenal of stringed instruments around here. There's my baritone uke, the piano, 3 or 4 guitars, both acoustic and electric, and last but not least my four-string banjo that I have yet to learn to play. Looks really impressive standing in the corner, though.

Will somebody please tell Buckley and me who "yes" is?

[JC]

Goto http://www.morpheus.com get the program and do a search, John then you can hear them also.

[John Bridge]

I can't hear anything. One of my boys relocated my speakers to his computer. Somebody was supposed to get me another pair, but you know how that goes.

[flatfloor]

John, do we really care?

[Bri]

Elvis has left the building!

[flatfloor]

John, my attorney will be in touch, I am suddenly the Big Red Moderator?

Migawd man, it's still in here! Get it offa me Aaaaaaaargh

[John Bridge]

Hmm, I wonder what that makes Bud.

JC made me move some threads for him, and in the process I somehow lost everyone's title, including my own. Had to go back through the whole list. Guess I got impatient. Don't sue. I'll fix it.

[flatfloor]

Whew, that was close. It must be some alien life form.

Of course now that everything is back to normal, and I think you and I are the only ones who saw it, your going to tell everyone I'm nuts. Thanks a lot!

[JC]

What are you talking about Jim....are you nuts or something..

[flatfloor]

JC, you had to see it, it was, it was.. ah never mind.

[Bud Cline]

Here's a bunch of really boring crap about the rock group YES (http://www.cs.tulane.edu/www/Dean.Bill/yes.html)
