He played with Dylan, and joined the noise.  I loved Dire Straits, Mark K on his own, meh....

I love Dire Straits but without Mark I don’t know.

Hiking along the ridge across from the little house we are renting for the week.  Another beautiful day. 🙂

I must be the only one who truly misses one of the best musicians in my lifetime. 
 

Harry Chapin died way to young. 
 

Loved his style. 
 

Saw him in concert a couple times in one year. 
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Akron, and waited at Stambaugh auditorium in Youngstown during a snow storm where he arrived 2 hours late. Then played his heart out to Almost 1am. A few weeks later I was on vacation in Boulder Colorado and attended his concert there. He brought up the snow event. Our group cheered. The next thing you know I was on stage with my legend. Talk about a memory being made. 
 

Miss him.   

Special memory. 

 

I always loved "Cat's In The Cradle".  Great message.

 

One more song. David Gates of Bread, "IF".  I get totally ferklempt listening to it.

I mentioned this either in here or in Bella's thread but I will repeat. I was at the Newport Folk Festival in the 60s.  An experience I will always remember fondly.. Judy Collins was amazing; Bob Dylan was just....Bob Dylan. I never cared for his voice.  Sounds like he's holding his nose while he sings. Yes he is iconic but not for just his singing voice alone. His personna, his song writing skills have a lot to do with his success.  He was awarded the Nobel prize in literature.  He was a singer of protest songs and although there is no doubt his influence is legendary,  he never would have made it on his voice alone.  That's only my opinion.

 

And speaking of music, what about Gloria Estefan, Carol King?? 

 

There is a book ,Festival Songbook with songs and pictures of people who attended concerts from the 50’s to the end of the 70’s including a thumbnail picture of me.

in my opinion Gloria Estefan,Carole King ,and others were great but the greatest female voice belonged to Whitney Houston.

For my money, the greatest Canadian rock and roll band is Rush.

 

Agreed.  Neil Peart has to be one of the top 3 greatest drummers of all time, any genre.  Other than drum solos, he's the first drummer that I ever really listened to as playing "notes" rather than just keeping a beat.  He probably also stands out more since Rush is only 3 people.  Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are no slouches either.

Saw "Get On Your Feet" a Broadway Musical Production about Gloria Estefan.  It was great.  Also saw "Beautiful:  A Carol King Musical".  Fantastic show.

 

Judy Collins' "Send In The Clowns"- love that song.

 

The only Bob Dylan song I liked is "Blowin' In The Wind".  One of the songs I learned to play on the guitar on.

Get On Your Feet was great as was Beautiful.

This music just gives me goosebumps. 

Said to be the most overused piece of music in cinematic history.

It tours in Orlando every now and then

Mom flew down and saw him in Tampa in March 2020 for his last concert before everything shut down.  She was supposed to fly to to Europe last summer to see him perform at Maastricht as well but that obviously didn’t happen.

Have not seen anyone mention two of my favorites, Beachboys and Steppenwolf.  Enjoyed Youngbloods, Santana, Chicago and Canned Heat for $5 in Philly in 1969.

If you like Steppenwolf I urge you to check out Fried Rice and the White Guys on You Tube.They do a great rendition of Born to Be Wild.

We attended a Boston Pops concert conducted by Arthur Fiedler at Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx. The fireworks and boom when they played the 1812 Overture was something I will never forget. 

I also saw them at Van Cartland Park,perhaps the same time 😀

Andre Rieu is great.Friends “dragged” us to see him and I was mesmerized.

I just returned from Lowes and installed the new faucet part.  Still no water flow.  Must be a problem in the valve body.  Time to give up and call a plumber.  I hate this feeling of defeat.

As a nod to our northern friends, I was also a very big Gordon Lightfoot fan back in the day. Time has not been too kind to him thought.

Me too,but not too many people that I knew.

Bucky enjoys doing electric work, drywall, (sort of on painting), especially any kind of wood work.  Ask him how he feels about plumbing (even though he does it) and he pales.  Hates plumbing work!!  

Same for Andy. Hates doing any kind of plumbing. His favorite thing is painting - interior, exterior, doesn’t matter to him.
