Hmmmmmmmmm....

My daughter asked me to take her to see Imagine Dragons one time. I thought they were awesome. In return, I asked her to go see U2 with me. I think she thought they were "ok." She also likes Train and One Republic. I listened to them and agreed they were great. Other stuff she likes I am not too crazy about but we both agree that Five For Fighting is awesome.

I can't say that I can point out anyone in the last 30 years who is on the same par with McCartney, though. Have we had a McCartney in the last 30 or 40 years? Maybe we have and I missed it.

On playing: one of my fondest and funniest memories is of playing a talent show in high school. Aerosmith was really big back then. A lot of people did Aerosmith and metal covers and got booed off the stage by the Metal Heads in the bleachers of the gym.

I was terrified when I got up there with my fifty dollar acoustic, pulled a mic up to it, and said "This is by Chet Atkins." (I had very big glasses and was the school nerd x 1000.)

About 20 seconds in, the Metal Heads were on their feet cheering (and stoned out of their minds, I think) but lo and behold, I won.

There will always be something to say for playing notes. That will never go out of style, I don't think. That is what I learned that day.

The rest of musical taste is a mystery to me. I just know I love playing.
