John Hiller recently mentioned an interesting project to me. He and some other folks were talking about making a CD consisting of the one favorite song of their top 25 favorite bands. I've been thinking about this off and on for a couple of weeks and I finally came up with a list. My list is in no particular order. Feel free to share your own list or comment on mine. Or both.

Aunt Bea,
Your list is just as diverse, however I seem to know more of the artists & titles on your list. lol
Very interesting list. I originally had Crazy by Patsy Cline on my list, but it was a last minute casualty. What's more interesting is the fact that we only have 2 corresponding artists (Elton John and Mamas & Papas), yet I count you as my main musical influence in life...
what i should let you know is that there are many on your list that i would have included on mine, however, i wanted to show diversity. such as simon & garfunkel..my pic is bridge over troubled water because i've had many bridges in my life that have saved me from the rapidly rising waters. jim croce...working at the carwash on a saturday blues, this song saved me from my first job..and helped me write...working at the factory on a saturday blues. just thought i'd let you know..we really are on the same page. ;^)
