I have to head to Guitar Center, so I'll be brief. At Guitar Center, several of the guitar instructors love Metallica. I am not a Metallica fan, but I can teach their riffs on guitar or bass. It's kind of fun being a "senior citizen" pretending to be an adolescent head banger. Here are some of my favorite musicians. Who are some of yours? Miles Davis/Bill Evans Tom Petty John Prine Jesse Winchester The Allman Brothers Band The Grateful Dead J.S. Bach Keith Jarrett Gordon Lightfoot Townes Van Zandt Richard Thompson I'll add to this post when I get home from work.

I got a hug from a kid I had not seen in two months. I'll probably write about it.

I love Emmylou! Maybe I'll add her to my list after work. I like Enya too. Pete Seeger helped set the stage for folkies like John Prine and Jesse Winchester.

I enjoy many you mentioned but also John Hiatt, Leonard Cohen, John Denver, Jim Croce, Janis Joplin, and there is another I really enjoy but can't recall his name. He had weird song titles and had a very distinctive voice.

@Tampa_girl7 I saw the Dicky Betts band on the East Coast during one of the Allman Brothers' break-ups. It was awesome.
