« on: 23 Aug 2020, 07:32 pm »
Alright.....

Let's have some fun here with the listings of our favorites......LP's / songs/bands are obvious,  but a bit different with musicians.....either their technical skills, or just the specific sound / vibe that they produce,  they blew you away at a live concert,  etc....anyway,  here are the rules:

3 each...not more,  not less...use my entries as a template.

that's it.  Let me start then:

Keyboards:              Keith Emerson, ,  Jon Lord, Keith Jarrett
Band:                      Wishbone Ash, Grand Funk Railroad,  Jefferson Airplane
Records:                  Live Dates / Wishbone Ash,  Jane / Together,  Grand Funk Railroad / E Pluribus Funk
