Hey 218....Based on your posts, I know that you are into music, especially Neil Young. Who else do you dig? I can't picture you as a ParrotHead for some reason, despite you being a Floridian.

You ever catch any old Gerry Rafferty? I'm in this bad folk-funk right now, somwhere between Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" and Rafferty's "One Drink Down". It reckon it ain't healthy, but neither are all these Red Stripes...

    All right! Now we're talking. I love Lightfoot, Neil Young and Gerry Rafferty too. Rafferty's "Right Down The Line" is a GREAT song. I like everything by Young and Lightfoot. Saw Lightfoot in concert last year, and at sixty-some years old he's as good as he ever was. Saw Young three years back on his acoustic, solo, unplugged tour, and he was outstanding. I'll take ANY type of folk or folk/rock music.

    Anybody into Townes Van Zandt? Another really great singer/songwriter who left us way too soon.

    Any of you swell fellows play guitar?

    Hey Lowrider, Rafferty's "Can I Have My Money Back?" was just remastered & reissued on CD, with a ton of bonus tracks from The New Humblebums days.... It is a must-have, if you ain't got all the originals on vinyl.... You can snag it over at Amazon.

    Almost saw Neil solo acoustic about 2 years ago -- but it was a Bridge Benefit show and the tix were outta my price range.I wanted to see CSNY this year in Dallas, but obstructed view seating was like $70 a seat, and good seats were like $150 each. Sorry, can't bring myself to do that. I got great seats to see Bob Dylan for half the price of CSNY obstructed view.

    I'll need to check out Townes Van Zandt. Thanks.

    I wasn't gifted with the talent to play, but I listen real well . . . .

    Love Sonny Boy. I'd walk a hundred miles to hear a good blues harp player.

    You wouldn't be a John Hammond fan, would ya?

    Star:

    Your are right,I like Neil Young,
    and consider him the best all around talent..
    when you consider the combination of,writing
    and playing skills,there is nobody better.

    A great singer,who is not a great writer
    or a great musicion,might as well go do friggin`
    kerry oky,or whatever it`s called.

    I always liked Taj`s song:

    "Honey,why you got ta have
    yo bacon fat?
    You know I sho
    don`t go fer fat!

    I liked buffet when I was 16,17..in the seventies,
    but grew out of it fast..he`s got a couple of songs
    I don`t mind too much..seems all he`s allways doin` some benifit concert for some liberal politition in flarda..wish he`d have moved to california..instead of here!

    Hey bad boy, I have seen John Hammond a couple of times, breaks more strings than every other guitar player I have ever seen put together. I'll go listen to Hammond with you any time!

    Arlo puts on a nice show too. Never see so many bald guys with pony tails as at Arlo concerts.

    Hey Star:

    I have about 20 David Allan Coe Albums,that I bought from 1978 through 85.He really did some great recordings in that period.

    The official D.A.C. website is pretty cool!Search David Allan Coe

    "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile" is my all-time favorite David Allen Coe song. But I like 'em all.

    Been playing guitar for about 35 years now ( I think I was 9 or 10 when I stated taking formal lessons ) played county to metal and love it all, but I have grown tired of the bar rooms & nightclubs. Just playing the old gibson flattop now.

    Ah yes, there's nothing like acoustic guitar.

    I started playing in 1970 after I got out of the Army. Always preferred acoustic but I HAVE owned a few electrics over the years. I play a 615 Taylor maple jumbo 6 string, a Guild JF-55 rosewood 12 string jumbo, an Alvarez Yairi six string, a National Resophonic tri-cone metal resonator six string and an Ovation six string acoustic/electric. Mostly fingerpick - folk, folk/rock and country music.

    Promise me anything, but give me acoustic.

    Lowrider:

    In the early eighties,I had many Coe albums,and I was going over the Seven Mile Bridge,to Key West,when I first heard that song,it was brand new,and it was beautiful..man was I gettin` wasted in them days,or what..partyin` like crazy.

    "Jack Daniels If You Please" may be my favorite,but there`s a bunch.

    Best foreign imports in order of greatness: Led Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, Bad Company, AC/DC. Best domestics: Aerosmith, Kansas, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchett, The Outlaws and anything done by the Motor City Madman. Gentlemen, I rest my case.
