I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: What style or genre of music does everybody play?
A lot of my favorites are from the 60's. even though I'm looking at some stuff from the Ray Orbison catalog of works. Dang, talk about people who die too soon. <sigh>

ZZ top was more an 80's Texas Blues/rock/funk band. Their style is quite unique and they played some seriously good stuff. They get kudo's from me for their longevity/stability as a band and quality of their sound!

Re: What style or genre of music does everybody play?
I play mainly metal when I jam with friends-heavy, loud, REAL metal. Metallica, Megadeth, even some new metal.
For myself, some blues, classic rock, lots of jazz, blues-inflected punk, pretty much anything with some real power behind it.

Re: What style or genre of music does everybody play?
Played tuba and snare drum in school bands and opera companies. Added trumpet at age 16 and was so thrilled to play dixieland and jazz.
Got into jazz rock after college - detoured into soul, psycedelic, rockabilly and corn country (paid the best). After years of jazz, country was difficult because playing clean and simply is anathema to a jazz player. I lacked the dry country voice but I could get away with singing Charlie Rich and other citified country.
Added rhythm guitar at my age 24 and played trumper when it was my time to solo. Added valve and later, slide trombone in my 30's. After 24 years of being a bar band leader six nights a week, I became a letter carrier for the post office. What a nice quiet job that was. I didn't play for almost three years but then I heard some wildly funny tunes by Pat Daily, Tim Wilson, Rodney Carrington as well as Richard Bowden. I had to learn to play some of those for my rowdy friends. I started my fat book which now contains 500 plus tunes.
I played a single beach music guitar song guy act for three years after retiring from the post office and after a jam with John Reno, became his tuba player.
After ten years and four C.D.'s with John I am slowing a bit at age 67 but I still can fool you into thinking I can play and I am still collecting more silly songs.

Everything going .. because its all for fun and enjoyment ... except anything to do with religion ... as an athiest to sing songs or even mention in praise of the Lord etc seems stupid ... and I dont care what religion they are singing about... to be singing "heavymetal" and "Rock" or to suddenly "Rap" in the cause of judism or christian or Hindu or muslim is totally ridiculous .... I can understand where blues came from in the same sound but different words ... but no religion whatsover ....
any resemblance to my songs sounding anything like the original is highly unlikely.
