Sounds like we have the same tastes. That's the same stuff my band plays!

I hope to be playin again soon, surgery stopped me earlier this year, doc gave me the OK to start "trying" to play again next week, I have been playing for the last week, but while in a seated position and only from the 5th fret up-will try to play standing and "wearing" my bass and hope I can make the "reach" to the 1st fret, if all goes well I'll try finding a band as I progress, glad to see many of us here.

Sounds like we're pretty close to the same age. No Tom Petty here. Or SRV. We played, by economic necessity growing up, a fair bit of country. Made good money doing that. Had more fun, got more pussy, and more dope playing rock. But me and the lead guitarists had priorities. Money first. (It helped that both he and I had regular girlfriends.)

But a lot of the same stuff you talked about. Some straight country. But lots of what we called "transitional" stuff the could pass in both places -- Eagles, some Dylan, Poco, Loggins and Messina, Seals & Croft, Amazing Rhythm Aces, a bit of Neil Young, Jim Croce, CCR, Elvin Bishop, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, etc. (we had a ancillary chick singer, too).

Our straight rock repertoire was full of Stones, Doobies, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, a bit of Beatles, Johnny Winter, some Clapton, Allman Brothers, a touch of Black Oak Arkansas, Grand Funk, BTO, Steppenwolf, Santana, Johnny Winter, Brownsville Station (Yuck), Savoy Brown, The Guess Who, Bad Company, Black Sabbath, and probably lots more that I'm forgetting.

TTH and cameltoed: You guys have excellent taste. One of these days, if my band peters out (no pun intended), we're gonna have to get together!

Wow!! I wore that Grand Funk "RED" album out, great bass stuff on that, same with that Johnny Winter "and Live" album, so glad that finally came out on CD.same with Savoy Brown(that brought back some memories) and Purple. Think I have some Savoy on vinly, gonna have to bring that out.

Perhaps y'all are in the same band?

Myself, I played drums many moons ago.

Wouldn't that be hilarious? So...what if we all show up to jam, and look at each other...and start pointing - "I know you!"
