Thanks for all the suggestions and great selection. I printed the entire thread and will work on the new ones. SouthPaw - I'll try the humming bit - I think I sing great LOL, but there is an embarrassment factor I need to get over. Props to guys like you who do it on stage every night!

LOL Geo - I think Ted peaked at about the right time in my adolescence. Cat Scratch Fever was released when I was 14 - Ted was the Man!

I say I think, I think I say...there ain't nobody out there want to be mellow tonight!

I understand what you are saying James. It comes down to what society will pay for entertainment - look at pro athletics and actors (and musicians!) - do any of them deserve the dollars they earn in relation to our scientists who are curing diseases and those who teach our kids be be our future leaders? I can debate both sides. There are a huge number of "educators" and administrators who don't deserve their salaries either. And athletics sure do bring a ton of notoriety and money to universities - both academically and athletically. And as far as your single gender comment - I actually watched a bit of the womens ncaa tourney this afternoon - That is a huge joke - Title 9 (or whatever it is) - forcing schools to spend equally on mens and womens sport. I agree in principle, but damn - the seats to the women's games are EMPTY - that's ridiculous. Seems the NCAA needs a class in economics!

One hit wonder? C'mon man, gotta give Terrible Ted more credit than that. He certainly filled a niche in his day, and considering the times, was more original than many artists since. A few items from wiki:

Nugent has amassed a sizable list of well-known songs, including "Journey To The Center Of The Mind", "Stranglehold", "Free For All", "Dog Eat Dog", "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang", "Cat Scratch Fever", "Motor City Madhouse", "Paralyzed", "Great White Buffalo", and "Wango Tango". 

To date, he has released more than 31 recordings and sold more than 35 million albums. Nugent is famous for playing the semi-hollow Gibson Byrdland. Gibson Guitar Corporation has developed a model named for him.

So he's a 60 year old rocker, been touring over 40 years. I've seen him live several times and he always put on a great show - I remember one where he came out from the rafters, swinging on a rope over the crowd - like Tarzan on a vine. If he's not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, he should be (just for Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang alone )

Thanks for that link Old Doll - I used to live in Palm Bay, Florida - where the banjo player is.

Thanks for the link Pix - I watched several of the YT clips - I am now a fan and will have to look for his CD's - man this forum is getting expensive! :0

tinawill247 - I just noticed your location - upstate NY - for most folks, thats anything north of NYC - I was raised in the Kingston area (Hurley) - where, more specifically, are you located?

Welcome to the Chordie forum bittermusicsnob! Great first post - no need to be shy around here, tell us how you really feel

I agree with your sentiments regarding the musical masterbators - that said, the fact that I own an old red convertible muscle car does not necessarily reflect in any way the size of my manhood. LOL

Sign me up Per - I'll do what I can and am happy to help.

Agreed SouthPaw - I'm glad I asked and they delivered - I explained about the full set thing and they replied quickly and to my satisfaction. There are just so many strings out there and I must say, had I not received a satisfactory response, they would have lost me. Instead they gained some respect and maybe some additional business from viewers here.

Good tip on the pick, thanks - I'll be sure to check them out more carefully.
