What I think is a fun question for everyone...

[Prunepicker]

Trying to come up with 10 pop/rock songs is hard! I've been out of touch
with the rock and pop scene for over 30 years and many of those tunes have
faded. I toured with bands that performed covers back in the 70's. I listen
to KRXO on occasion and hear tunes that bring back memories.

I'm doing some listening right now and will come with a list shortly, or tally.

Coming up with 10 songs isn't a problem, it's listening to them for the rest
of my life that's the problem. I can't think of anything I'd want to listen to
for the rest of my life! Maybe I'll have to bow out of this one.

I liked Traffic and was a Steve Winwood fan. There are other groups in that
style that I listened to quite a bit. King Crimson was another fave.

They had a segment interviewing John Prine a couple of weeks ago on World Cafe on KXT 91.7 | Public Music Radio for Dallas Fort Worth Denton and he said it was based on a composite of a couple of guys he grew up with.

7. Bellavia... Chuck Mangione

To this day I have a hard time believing he was with the Jazz Messengers @ 1966.
