Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.

Rick has always been a average but very energetic and entertaining guitarist. That he's written the lion's share of the CT catalog is a testament to his song writing ability. But his visuals, stage presence, moving guitar show, and being the actual front man has made him the most important member of...

Re: Jellyfish - Bellybutton vs Spilt Milk?

I have a friend who has worked with Sturmer on a full album project post-Jellyfish. Says that Andy's contributions were remarkable and that he really lived up to his reputation for excellence. I wish Andy would actually release something. I have kids that like Scooby Doo, so I have heard a lot of t...

Re: Jellyfish - Bellybutton vs Spilt Milk?

Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater (and his daughter) plus two members of Jellyfish - sing Jellyfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGzrwTKXc9k Impressed with the multi instrument action from Portnoy. His Daughter has a good voice too. Bonus for a Hamer-file like me is Jason playing a Prototype model.

Re: Bon Jovi - Legendary

Bon Jovi goes Bro County, even down to the video performance in a field. Paint by numbers, what a waste of Phil X. At least he gets paid and can do a new Drills album.

Re: How old do you act?

Still do most of the things I did while younger. Wear my Jordans when it fits what I'm wearing. play my music loud enough to embarrass my teenager, go to shows, hang around this place. 60 something but trying to live in the sweet spot that was my late 30's.
