Your top 5 singers/bands since the 60s

Eagles
Natalie Merchant - both solo and with 10,000 Maniacs

Saw the Eagles in NOLA (Hell Freezes Over Tour), ZZ Top in Jackson MS (Billy Gibbons was so drunk he forgot lyrics ). Tom Petty was on my concert bucket list. He played at Little Rock AR a few months before he died and the only reason I didn't go is that my concert going pal at the time had a work seminar he couldn't miss. So sad to lose him ...RIP, Tom. :(

A highbrow I ain't; however, Maria Callas' 'Habanera' in "Carman" gives us a haunt, stays with you forever.
(Callas was a cult figure when alive and continues to have a strong following. Callas voice would often crack when
she tried to reach 'high c'. In Europe when she attempted to reach 'high c' and her voice cracked, the audience would
applauder her effort.)

Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata will also give you a haunt.

Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries' was/is great music. In America we only know it from 'Apocalypse Now,'
That was the only thing Wagner wrote that translates well in all languages.
I think he should have been a pig farmer, a lofty profession in Deutschland.

Strange choices for a redneck, but what'cha gonn'a do?
