The Pink Floyd gig… was that “The Wall” tour?
That would be ironic… 😎

I had to google it, looks like it was A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988.

There were 6 of us all told, us three brothers, a cousin and two friends. My older brother actually got caught by one of the ROTC guys and kicked out. He had to wait and scale a fence in some other spot later to get back in.

I never saw him, but one of the ROTC kids got a handful of the back of my jean jacket. I have never thought I was particularly fast, but I must have turned on the afterburners from all the adrenaline, because as soon as I felt him grab me I hauled ass and never looked back and made it out of the end zone woods clean and into the crowd. We were all scattered in six different directions. I have no earthly idea how we found each other again in the concert crowd pre-cellphones. But I guess back then you just found a way.

I was wondering what decades do most of the folks here listen to in relation to your age.

I am 51. Mine would be from most to least the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 1970s, 1960s, 2010s, and 1950s.

This was sort of the premise of your very first post back on page one of this thread you started. I think I answered it then, somewhere back on the first few pages.
 
Even if you don't like country, Cooper Alan's song Plead The Fifth is hilarious

I so love Oscar Peterson. He is on my Mount Rushmore of jazz pianists

My favorite cd is Live At The Northsea Jazz Festival with the great Joe Pass and Toots Thielemans.

The Trio cd and Encore at the Blue Note cd are other favorites of mine.

Oscar had the rep for hammering the piano keys. His Night Train cd shows a softer side.

Thank you my brother !

I like a lot of country but very little of the current mainstream country.

I agree. I prefer real country , George Jones is my country hero and Merle Haggard who I had the opportunity to see in Memorial Hall years ago. Buck Owens, Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty...

but I confess I have several pop country cds. Shania Twain, Martina McBride , Sarah Evans, Tim McCraw...

I've been listening to Shooter Jennings who is the son of Waylon. He wants to put the O back in country. He blends rock and country

There's a whole lot of modern outlaw country I like. Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, Jason Isbell, Corb Lund, Hayes Carll, Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Margo Price and some several others are all relatively new and very good. I keep my car radio on Outlaw Country on Sirius XM and have no reason to regret it.
 
Oh, I'm familiar with Shooter as well. He has a show on Outlaw Country. I like him but I'd like him more if he did a little better job remembering who he is and not who his parents were.

My Pleasure! Love The Oscar! First time I ever heard him was in the 1960's - but I didn't know what I was hearing. Until the early 1970's. I noticed something funny about his solos - until I realized he was famously humming along with his solos - simultaneously with his piano. He scatted, or vocalized notes, often in rhythmic or melodic patterns like "beep ba deep," with his piano playing. When I first started trying to play jazz guitar, I was taught to "hum along" with the notes I was attempting to play on the guitar. Hum along either in my head or aloud. One of my big influences on jazz guitar is John Pizzarelli, and he does this technique all the time.

I called him Scooter but that's because I've been day drinking since 7am. I have a Sturgill Simpson cd but I am unfamiliar with the other outlaws. I will check them out.

Meanwhile, Gretchen Wilson is my absolute favorite. There is no bad song on any of her cds.

Because I've been day drinking since 7am , here's one of her songs...

Here's a Cody Jinks that might resonate.
