Okay, now that we're talking about music I have post a list of stuff I dig. I have LPs, 8-tracks, Cassettes, CDs and I broke down and got a MP3 player. I love (In no order):
Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, Blind Boys of Alabama, John Lee Hooker, Memphis Minny, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, Wilco, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Robert Johnson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, B.B. King, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Costello, Charles Mingus, Ryan Adams, Thelonious Monk, Clifford Brown, Charlie Parker, Willie Dixon, Nina Simone, Etta James, John Coltrane. And a Tucson band, Calexico. And lots more.
One of my most favorite musicians was a man by the name of Rainer Ptacek. He was an
amazing guitar player. He died in 1997 of a brain tumor. Everyone should check him out.
