SOME OF THE BANDS I LIKE

Everybody's always asking me what kind of music
I like so here's a list of the bands I listen to. Some of
these bands I listen to for weeks or months at a time in
one or another of my cars. Others I don't have to listen to anymore,
'cause I know them better than by heart. Without these bands life
wouldn't be worth living. Many of their songs found
their way into various setlists I have performed with my bands.
Some of them are so perfect it goes without saying.

Bands with deceased stars will be noted. Sadly, most of these
favorites of mine are gone because of that damn problem.
