I could not even count the times they used "Whore"

You actually listened to the whole song? (the word "song" has been hijacked by that type of music...so has the word "music")

Sum, you're a better man than I.

I saw him in Myrtle Beach SC about 20 years ago in a little dive on the strand and was hooked.

My best friend saw him Saturday in Atlanta. He told me he was playing in Augusta Tuesday, due to a last-minute booking because his guitarist is from here, or something like that, but I couldn't go. He was supposed to play at the Imperial Theater. I have to plop in the some Keen music every time I'm in Mexico Beach. Puts me into beach-mode.

For me it's classical, some types of jazz, 80's rock, classical, Pink Floyd, Alan Parson's Project and classical. My wife had never heard a Pink Floyd song before hooking up with me. Now she's hooked and we've seen Roger Waters twice in concert - good show but he injects too much liberal, ant-Bush crap into it.

Makes me want to go on a Gringo Honeymoon!

Fo, you are not one of us Echoes and Hearts of Space "Real Music Aficionados" are you ??

You have not lived until you kill off the lights, sit back and let those fantastic Soundscapes take your soul.

Paul Hardcastle, Harold Faltermeyer, Richard Souther, R. Carlos Nakai and on and on.

Man you have to dig so deep down into your very existence to create that kind of "Real Music".

Echoes used to come on for 10 entire hours in my area and when I worked a night shift .... it was all night Soundscapes every Sunday. The other 2 Hours of the 12 was Hearts of Space .... LOL .... so I didn't miss anything if I could help it.

I used to freak my Captive Passengers out playing that stuff, but most ended up liking it. It hardly ever failed to calm them down.

Classical and jazz would be my two loves because I've actually played them both. It's nice to see an instrumentalist on here.

Oh man I love Jazz - - all of it - - Classic, Contemporary, New Age - - just roll it on.

You know that Alan Parsons did the Studio Engineering work on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon .... and man did he do an awesome job.

In fact, Alan is the one who brought in Claire Tory to do the female solo to Rick Wright's piano and organ pieces for 'The Great Gig In The Sky'.

Priceless work that stayed on the top of the charts for 741 Weeks (14 Years) .... I haven't seen anything beat that record yet.

I'm from Mississippi. To me, Rhythm and Blues means people like BB King, Little Feat, and Muddy Waters. I LOVE that music. My cousin (Duff Durrough) was in the Tangents, and is now in the Revelators.

I'm familiar with Faltermeyer...Back in my days of marijuana usage I liked to just sit by myself and listen to that genre. Got into Jazz real heavy also in those days. I was an only child and never have needed anyone around me. Sitting alone with a good book or good music has always my way of relaxing....Now this damn internet has invaded my life!!!

I did everything I could to get my daughter to pick up music...piano,voice and clarinet lessons....then I decided to learn to play the guitar and she took it away from me and is obsessed with mastering the instrument. I wish I had have know earlier. I have zero musical talent.

NIU, major props for the Madlib and Madvillian. I love madvillian and mf doom. Great stuff.

Big +1 to Rebel and Fo Shizzle on this thread.

Most people I know have not even heard of Robert Earl Keen. I have seen him twice in B'ham in the past 18 months and he was great both times. I desperately wanted to go see him in ATL this past weekend, but I was busy moving. I bet the Variety Playhouse in Little 5 Pts was a perfect setting for one of his shows.

and another +1 to Reb (or should I say "Hoy-Hoy!") for a Little Feat mention
