Re: Musical Tastes
Mark,I think we are gonna bore these guys with our off the wall bands. I hope not, maybe they will enjoy.I always went from mainstream, to unknown,then back to main stream.I loved finding bands that nobody heard of, way before they were found. Most never became big,one did, a little band out of Boston named Boston. I was listening to them 6 months before anybody in our town even knew who they were. There was a band from Steubenville, a small town not far from here in Zanesville that I KNEW was going to make it big. But they never did. They were so different at the time, and just good musicians and writers. You might have heard of them as you seem pretty deep. I'm gonna list the lyrics, as I always paid attention that part . Its about our world, years after we all kill one another, spoken from someone standing on the moon....
It's kind of funny now as they speak of killing one another with virus ... Something's wrong from the moon, my friends Something's wrong from the moon As I look down at you my friends Something's wrong from the moon Poor little man You been run down Poor little man You're all run down I can see right through your eyes I can see right through your weary eyes I can hear right through your cries I can hear right through your drunken cries When they spit, do you wash their floors And pray that they don't spit no more Or, rise up children, life goes on and on Wise up children, life goes on and on In the dark you cannot see In the dark the victory is fear Like a fool you follow fools Like a fool you follow what you hear Will they blow us all apart Or kill us all with virus darts Or, rise up children, life goes on and on Wise up children, life goes on and on On the moon they're laughing hard On the moon they're falling off their seats From the moon we're comedy From the moon we're really quite a treat Shall we have another beer And slobber through another year Or rise up children, life goes on and on Wise up children, life goes on and on Rise up children, life goes on and on Wise up Something's wrong from the moon my friend Something's wrong from the moon As I look down at you my friends Something's wrong from the moon .....

Re: Musical Tastes
Hope to be all moved in and have this house sold. I will keep it on the calendar. No kidding, but it made a couple people real happy to be back in the hunt. I have to put 2 more degrees in the pinion angle per Mr. Gay of CalTracs...easy job. I will let you know as the date gets closer.

Re: Musical Tastes
Jeff, You really crossing into the arcane realm with Crack The Sky LOL
I try to dig up stuff that someone might have heard 40 years ago, but it's just not played on the vile "classic rock' stations..I can't listen to them for 10 minutes..Make that 2 songs. The problem I have with Boston is not of their making. More Than a Feeling was probably the best debut song in the rock era..But c/r plays what, only 3 songs by them, over and over and over.? I'm exceeding my self imposed daily limit here, but this is not a music video, per se I found it fascinating, and I know nothing about playing music...

Re: Musical Tastes
Sorry Mark, and everybody, my taste are way out there sometimes ....Good stuff though, and I couldn't resist since Crack the Sky was neighbors.I'll step it back to mainstream. But a little off the mainstream, as like you, I hate played to death classics Think I'll go with 38 Special and Lynyrd Skynyrd. But how bout a two,fer?..Is that OK Mark? It's a southern 2 fer .. LOL....
This first song was before anybody knew who 38 special was. It's off their first album and I don't think very many people own a copy of it. I always thought it was cool as it's actually has a 38 special Car on the cover. Most people probably think of a gun.The second Skynyrd tune is off an earlier album also and includes some really nice guitar work in the second half of the song. Its just a nice tune ... Turn it up .. It's been so long since I've been gone Another day might be too long for me Traveling around I've had my fill Of broken dreams and dirty deals A concrete jungle surrounding me Many nights I've slept out in the streets I paid my dues and I changed my style Seen hard times, all over now I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried I'll be coming home soon to your love, to stay I miss old friends that I once had Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I go home I don't know why the thought came to me But why I'm here I really can't see, and now I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried I'll be coming home soon to your love, to stay Coming home to stay Coming home to your love, mama I've seen better days I miss old friends that I once had Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I go home I don't know why the thought came to me But why I'm here I really can't see, and now I want to come home. it's been so long since I've been away And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried I'll be coming home soon to your love, to stay Coming home to stay Coming home to your love, mama I've seen better days

Re: Musical Tastes
Here's a successful Ohio band, that still exists today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Prairie_League This track, from 1972, was produced by Mick Ronson, who played with Bowie
