  1. Amy...I dont think seasons in the sun is cheesy at all, I think it is a very beautiful and sad song....
  2. First of all, what a great idea Carl, I love to hear about others stories, and I'd like to share mine...I'm not really good at this, but I'll do my best...Whenever I hear Time For Me To Fly by REO I think about my trip to California to visit with my best friend for a month. I was only 16 when my best friend moved away. Her father moved the family there because of a new job. Both my friend and I were born in a small town in western ny, very country, very hometownish and laid back. Moving to California was a big step for her, and she found out that California was HUGE, and felt a little lonely, and out of place. She had asked me to come and stay for the summer, and both her parents and mine were good friends also and said that would be fine. On the way to the airport Time For Me To Fly came on the radio. I was only 16 at the time, and flying for my first time also, all by myself I might add, I was very nervous and very scared and excited at the same time. I had a boyfriend at that time also, so it was a big decision for me too. He didnt want me to go, and I was young and foolish and almost turned down the offer of my friend. We talked and I ended up going to California, and so glad I did. I had the time of my life there. A country gal from a small town, and without my parents!!!lol. We had a real good time, I wont get into those details...lol. My friend greeted me at the airport with 2 tickets to the Rolling Stones concert at the Oakland Collisium...Wow what a concert, Santana opened up for the Stones, and sang happy birthday to Mick...helicopters dropped pink balloons over the stadium, it was awesome! When I returned to N.Y. and saw my boyfriend, it was not a happy return. I found out he had found someone else I guess while I was gone, and that was the end of that. It turned out for the best in the long run. I guess the lyrics had a certain meaning to me. Time For Me To fly, as in getting on that airplane and seeing my best friend, and Time For Me To Fly to leave the past behind, and go on with my life, which I did. I met a terrific guy afterwards, and we now are married, going on 24 years now! and two wonderful daughters.

  9. having an italian background...both sides, grandparents came from italy, so my parents listened to Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, etc.....as a teen i didnt like that music at all, but now that I'm older...it's ok to listen to once in awhile, i guess i'm still a rocker even in my early 40's
  10. Ditto....i feel the same way johnny
  11. I think Neil Young can the hell out of one note !!
  12. There are sooooo many great guitarist, how can you say who is the best....i think hendrix, clapton, page...etc....plus many many others, all are great, all with their own styles, i give them all alot of credit, it's not easy playing the guitar, but i must say Clapton sure does make it look easy!
  13. question #3 I believe if the Beatles existed today, they would be just as popular as the 60's....look at a few of the bands that did last through all the years...stones, aerosmith has been around a long time also...they adjusted their music or sound to the changing of the times...i believe the Beatles would of done the same, they definitely had the talent to do so....ok well that's my opinion

  19. I was watching the Britt awards the other night and saw some interesting groups, i've never heard of before...one group was Scissor Sisters????very strange but i liked their sound, reminds me of the 80's i guess.... then there's a girl named Joss Stone that was on...she's only 18 and what a voice she has...reminds me alot of Janis Joplin, she has a very soulful voice...
  20. I'm not sure if my answer is right, but i'll do one while we are waiting. this should be easy, i think Please Come To Boston Journey To The Center Of The Mind Somewhere Over The Rainbow
