I heard Bill Haley, Fats Domino, the Platters, etc, when I was really young,
--but came to appreciate them all later. --My first real music "of my own"
--was Hendricks, Joplin, and Dylan. Followed by Clapton, ELP, Airplane, Pink
Floyd and Tull. Toss in some Blue Oyster Cult, The Tubes, The Ramones, and a
pinch of Wendy O and the Plasmatics, and you have the makings of a pretty good
salad.
---Geeze, how many dozen did I leave out? Still, I like a lot of the 50's
music in the car too.

Very nice summary John. And I guess I new my comment would wake up some
of you "sleeping dogs" out there.
I do believe you forgot the Beach Boys. I'm surprised the west coasters
didn't comment on the surfer boys.
And yes, I check out all the R and R and the R and B shows on PBS since I
only get 6 channels so PBS is on most of the time. Speaking of PBS
shows, the show that they had on about John Lennon's portable Juke Box was
a real ear/ eye opener. Truly amazing how many riffs and music ideas they
borrowed (stole) from other artists. I had never heard that before ,but when
they compared the songs and riffs, it was pretty obvious. And these songs
by other artists were on J. Lennon's Juke Box.
OK, sorry to get off on that listers,
We now return you to your regular scheduled Healey List. We thank you
for listening, : )
