Non-negotiable Recording Artists/Composers

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-13-03 AT 11:35AM (CST)[/font][p]Okay, I think I have the answers to the trivia questions that have been tossed out. Here goes:
Ray A- all the musicians you listed play the trombone.

Don D and Jimmy Buffet are both from MS. Possibly went to the same college. And they both like margaritas and can't find their lost shakers of salt. Just kidding.

And the first woman in the R&R Hall of Fame was Aretha Franklin.

I just had to take the time to see who the musicians were that Ray A listed.
How did I do?

My next stop is Jeopardy!

Hey, that was good. I'm even more impressed that someone cared. Take it one step further; all the musicians I listed play the bass trombone (you have to be a trombonist to realize there is a difference) and they play in major symphony orchestras around the world. Doug Yeo is the bass trombonist for the Boston Symphony orchestra and the Boston Pops and I count him a personal friend.

I thought of a few more:

Foghat
Headeast
Boston
Molly Hatchet
Neil Diamond
Neil Young
Billy Squire- Stroke me

Don D

Does anyone remember Principal Edward's Magic Theatre?

Petard

No, but I remember Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show!

Parabeagle

Or the Strawberry Alarm Clock?

Don D

I remember that "Principal Edward's Magic Theatre" had an elephant and a naked woman on the album cover. She looked like Janis Joplin on Zanax.

Leslie

Incense and Peppermints - have the 45 and one other, can't remember the name right off hand.

Oh My God....I thought there were only two people in this world who knew who Dr. Hook was (a girl I work with and myself). The best song he ever did was The Cover of the Rolling Stone.

Margaret Morford

Didn't he also do "Sylvia's Mother?"

Yes he did. I don't feel so alone any longer. I'm not a social outcast... Others know who Dr. Hook is!

Surely someone is a jazz fan? I have a diverse taste in music but my favorites include:

John Coltrane
Dave Brubeck
Weather Report
Steely Dan
Chicago
Beach Boys (Brian Wilson is a genius on the Pet Sounds Album)
Wings
The Police
Joe Jackson.

You're not alone HR girl, they also did amoung others, "Freakin at the Freakers Ball", I Can't touch the Sun", "Get Your Rocks Off", etc. Oh what sweet memories of a great time in music.

Don D

Wrong movie Margaret. You're thinking of Dustin Hoffman, The Graduate, who did his girlfriend's mother.

The Moody Blues - still together after 35 years! Although Ray Thomas isn't touring with the group this spring due to health problems, they'll be releasing another studio album this year. Drummer Graeme Edge has dubbed their sound "wrinkly rock" (they range in age from 57 to 62), but John Lodge still looks fabulous in black leather pants! From Days of Future Passed to Strange Times, they've endured and evolved as no other group I can think of!

Another great...Van Morrison! How could I have overlooked him. Speaking of Morrison's, The Doors can't be left out of the mix.
