OMG, so sweet Rock and Roll memories, thank you very much for this joy!!!
You’re welcome, Anastasia and glad you liked the music.
The Who, Zeppelin, Elton Joh, so many good ones here.
It was a great time for music, Carol
Good choice of musicians and good music, dear Sandra
Thank you and glad you enjoyed.
So many good artists. I wanted to see Elton John in concert. He was in Cleveland last fall and will be back again for his final concert tour this fall; but I couldn’t go…long story. I was very disappointed.
That would have been great if you could have seen Elton John live, Linda.
Thank you very much for sending your story about rock and roll.
You’re welcome, Robin.
Beautiful collection of bands, thank you for sharing
You’re welcome and glad you enjoyed the music.
I am familiar with some but not all, specially Louis Armstrong.
At the end of this epic year, my all-time favorite album was released. Harvest by Neil Young. It is the soundtrack of my life!
Yes, that is one of the ones I also like best Doc.
While I wouldn’t call him rock and roll, Louis Armstrong was an amazing musician. I wish I had gotten the chance to hear him perform live. (I did see him on ThursdayV a couple of times.) His recording of “Wonderful World” is my all-time favorite recording.
I loved Armstrong in Hello Dolly and the one song I really like is from a 007 movie We Have All the Time in the World, Gary
I’m not familiar with that one. I’ll have to check it out.
