So, I decided when my kids fell in love with the move "School Of Rock" that it was time for me to pass this music onto them as my dad did to me.
I just really need to find a copy of Blue Cheer's "Vincebus Eruptum" now to pass that along to the kids as well....there was a band that should have been legends like Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc. The stuff they did was so far ahead of it's time....

LIke you i was blessed.
mom used to clean the house while teaching me to cue alice cooper vinyl for her, and i can surely remember cueing sabbath and her other hippie crap.
even luckier, dad owned family blues bars
so i grew up round them black musicians and you are absolutely right, those early influences as diverse as they can be, create some of the most open minded musicians and music-lovers alive.
music is worth more than life to me.
it is a great thing to be able to unite, even the most different of people.
ive seen everyone from BB King, to Exhorder, Willie Nelson, David Alan Coe, and of course am die hard misfits and danzig fan man. Ive had the lucky experience of even meeting some of my favorite musicians. i moved out here for the music industry but became a webmaster
so i can dig as deep into music as i can and not have to worry about a 9-5. there are shows every night, by right i should live somewhere else, but i live here for the music scene.
i cant leave.
music is everything.
all forms.
