I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan open for the Moody Blues before he hit it big. I had to find out more about him & the band. It's so that we lost him so soon.

Hello people! July is here! Some of my picks are more my son's pick than mine. I do like them though. Today's picks are Slipknot s/t and Iowa. This band is pretty crazy. We own some Slipknot, but not these 2. They are a good rocking 1-2 punch. As always, enjoy the music and take care. 😊

This should be fun and have picks all over the place and no particular order. My picks for today are Blue Oyster Cult and Tyranny & Mutation. These really set the scene for this band, IMO.

I'm doing mine in alphabetical order of artist as usual. I'm away walking in Scotland at present so this will be brief. First choice is All About Eve. Self-titled and December

This is such a cool idea for the month! So many great options for this list, and I’m going to start with Van Halen. I really love the David Lee Roth era of VH, with their first two albums being my favorites that I can listen to at almost any time. They’re both perfect albums in my opinion. I’ll never get tired of them.
