I prefer the more progressive stuff like Yes and Kansas ( Cream also ) , but CCR was important to where we are now for sure.

Remember when Van Halen was good ?





These songs sound like ghosts now.

And we see that GREAT guitar players are a dime a dozen , and not so many great bass players ( rock ).





Billy Sheehan is the most unappreciated rock musician EVER. As funny as this sounds , he inspired me to STOP playing music.

Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy dorsey, Count Baisey, Mel Tormey, Dean Martin just to name a few. I know some crunners are in there but thats also what I like.

Electronic instruments are so much more dynamic than thier accoustic counterparts , and " big bands " went to the wayside. The digital age further seperates us from a group of human beings getting together and creating unique music.

Just remember that there will never be a music trend that comes around from the one that you consider " the best " . New music is created from young , fresh minds that build on the past. I am guilty of holding on to my past , as there were some incredible musicians who have not been " bested " ( my opinion ). May they all be remembered and honored.

Not a " big band " , but perhaps you will like this.

It will take alot to break this benchmark as far as I'm concerned.


Perhaps this level , this is the next generation.

I have the Best of Glenn Miller album set, it's something like six or eight albums. Somewhere over the years I lost album 2.

When I was a kid I played Alto Sax,my teacher taught Stan Getz and many others.

[Gib's Son]

Stan Getz, wow, I have some of his stuff.

Over the years I have played the flute, trumpet, guitar, bass, and keyboards. I was a natural at the trumpet but it was not "cool" in high school so I gave it up. After high school when I was out on my own I picked up my first electric guitar. I do ok, but I am no where as good as I would like to be or should be.

Allen Greenspan the former head of the fed.and Getz were friends,Both played tougher took lessons from the same teacher. The story goes that when Greenspan saw how good Getz was he gave up !
