Love it and you not only hit the nail on the head but you also speak for almost all of us (except the MAGA holdouts)

Wellll — as Elvis would say, “Thunk ya verrry mush”

Thanks—I’m pretty sure that Johnnie Cash as a “God fearing man” would approve…

I think so also.

As they would say in the south, "Ya done good kid".

Welllll — I’m trying out this genre. It’s kinda like puzzle solving. I particularly like going back to old Rock and R&B songs as a starting base. Give me Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Brian Wilson, Tom Petty and Johnnie Cash … oh and Hank Williams. Them boys knew how to write and rhyme ….

Okay, I’ll take 3 Doors Down, Def Leppard, Ava Max, Alan Walker, the Chainsmokers, Crash Adams , .38 Special and 5 Seconds of Summer. I’m 74 going on 24.

Wellll ol’ chum — I’m 81 and bopped to the original Rock n Roll! But any rocking music is great — as long as it ain’t ABBA!! (A special dig for my darling wife…🕺)

Tell your beautiful wife that I love ABBA!

I forgot to add John Fogerty — who I knew in high school with the rest of CCR in El Cerrito CA waaaay back in the day…

Also I rate Eagles Don Henley and Glen Frey as excellent songwriters— and John Mellancamp is pretty good … and Crosby , Stills, Nash & Young… Can also toss in Otis Redding and Ben E. King. Another King was the songwriting Queen— Carol King. The re are so many greats!
