Almost cut my hair

1 Comment

What is your favorite genre of music? – A fine question from the Daily prompt.

Classic Rock and Roll would be my answer. Music has been one of the major enjoyments in life. It has motivated and consoled me. It has brought tremendous emotions and feelings out. It makes my body move and my mind race. The hair on my neck will stand up and memories of concerts bring a smile to my face. It has saved me a few times and might again in the future.

Having grown up in the 60s and 70s it was always a major part of my youth. Concerts, clubs, basement bands. 6×9 Jensens with power boosters for the car. 45s and 33s. 8 tracks. Mom yells “Turn that crap down” or “What are you doing” when she observes my windmill air guitar coming down the hallway.

Some bands I’ve followed, seen, and loved. The Who – Pink Floyd – Lynyrd Skynyrd – Doobie Brothers – Rush – Van Halen – Genisis – The Eagles – Aerosmith – The Beatles – CSNY – Deep Purple – Fleetwood Mac – Jethro Tull – Led Zeppelin – Traffic – ZZ Top – Little Feat – Yes – AC/DC – Rolling Stones – Def Leppard – Booker T & the MG’s – War – Tom Petty – Hendrix – Santana – The Doors – Elton John – ELP – Steppenwolf – Zappa – Black Sabbath – The Band – Bob Marley –

I also listen to a good bit of Blues, Mowtown a little jazz, and country.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
