I loves me a good old fashioned rock n roll power ballad.

I could list at least a dozen, but here are two of my faves. Both with Roses in the title.





What are some of yours?

I’m not into screaming a whole song out, but a momentary outburst sometimes works, like in “We Won’t Get Fooled Again” or “Can’t Buy Me Love”. I don’t think the two I posted are screamers. But hey, everybody’s got their faves! That’s what’s so cool about music.

Well not Bon Jovi.

But G+R screams in other songs which hit my brain.

A great friend loves BJovi. She’s seen them a dozen times.

I’ve seen Rod Stewart five times.
I’ve seen Fleetwood Mac before and since Stevie Nicks four times and Stevie two other times once with Rod Stewart.

What can I say. Love is love.
Have you ever seen Heartstrings rock wall?
She has a wall of her concerts. It’s pretty impressive.

I have a Rock book with 8x10s of every group I’ve seen. Many autographed.
It weighs about 10 pounds. It has about 86 pictures in it. But some picks are just groups I loved but didn’t see. But I think I have seen more groups than Sue but Sue repeats groups more than I.

We have been music groupies. We met many of the guys we saw. But I say music groupies, as we weren’t into having one night stands with dudes. But we both could have many. It’s nice now that we didn’t because our memories are music and we can tell everyone about them with no regrets.

When we were young 12 or 13, our town used to book groups at our Fairgrounds.
Before we were allowed to date we had seen: Bad Finger, Tommy James, New Colony Six. Sir Douglas Quintette. The McCoys...Others I cant think of right now.

Anyway. Hope I didn’t bore you.

Just the opposite!

I can only dream about all the concerts and musicians you have met. That’s totally awesome. I’ve been to quite a few but no where near your experiences.

There’s something about live music you just don’t get from listening to it recorded. (not that I don’t enjoy both)

I wish I could have seen the greats like Zep or Floyd or the Beatles...I was still too young to be going to those

Here’s something funny. Joe Walsh started out with the James Gang playing at teen dances at an Episcopal church about 4 blocks from my childhood house. My older sister got to go, but I was too young and wasn’t allowed to go.
