Your stranded on a desert island. You've got an mp3 player than can store the life's work of 10 bands. You have no shortage of headphones and a solar charger.

What top 10 keep you company the rest of your life?

RUSH
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Guns N Roses
Alice In Chains

Give me some time, and this old mind, a day or 2, to think on this challenge. Processing near half a century, will take some time....LOL...

Alot of archives of mental data stored in closets within closets, full of Files, mental files.

Mozart is proof Heaven's music came from above- the childhood prodigy unlike any other, who was playing Before Kings and Queen's at the age of 6 yrs old.

subject to revision, due to spontaneous combustion....!!!

I kinda like to hear some Patsy Cline (amoung other female singers) once in a while.....but let it be noted,
I'm not bringing her with me.


You're not getting my man-card.

Besides, hearing a nice female voice could make things worse on that island...
...know what I mean?

Patsy Cline was terrific but if I'm going with female sounds it would first be Leslie Gore & then Brenda Lee.

Eye candy sure, but if I'm picking a chick, it would probably be either Jewel, Faith Hill, Lzzy Hale, or Gwen Stefano...

Oh darn it, I was going to say Emmylou Harris, here music in the 70s through the 80s was the stuff only Angels voices sound like.

Yep, I do see how a girls voice could muster up a worse case scenario on an Island. But then, Sara has always lured me with her music. Nanci Griffith too.

BTW- I did use to own every Patsy Cline LP, and most of Billie Holidays' too. Got to see most classic C&Western Bands, in the Luzianna Hayride in the 60s. Any one who was someone important, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, even Jim Reeves, Just 3 weeks before his plane crashed. A sweet crooners voice. Back when C&W was real classic and not reconfigured POP, rhinestone BS.

However I'm sticking with my guns, if I can't have Sara's music, I'd take Sara herself. well maybe not, I am a happily married man for 33 yrs now. I just love her sweet voice, it puts me in peace.

When we buried my brother, him and I both had made music lists of tunes we thought proper at our funerals. The #1 first song was Jackson Browne's For a Dancer, followed by Angel and I Love You, off of Sara's Surfacing CD. Unfortunately I never thought I would see him go before me.....!
