text: I still love Hendrix, I will never get tired of the Band of Gypsies from New Years Eve 1969. Some of the most brilliant Hendrix guitar playing ever. ZZ Top always makes me smile although I don't listen that much anymore. Don't get me wrong, I have most of their older albums. Led Zeppelin was brilliant, I loved Zeppelin I, II, and IV the most. I need to break some out since you made me think of it. Pink Floyd did some things that I just loved, "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", "Dark Side of the Moon", "The Wall", great albums, genius. I was a Hendrix freak when I was younger, then I was exposed to the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia. So much of that music is so poignant and relevant to me and the way I experience life. I think it will be something in my life forever. In fact, I have had that same thought, about my funeral. I have a couple of Grateful Dead songs I want played. If you are familiar, I am going to have "Brokedown Palace" played. It almost makes me cry every time I hear it, a very beautiful piece. I also want to have "Sing Me Back Home" played too. I know it isn't a Dead original, but I just love to hear Jerry's voice on songs like that. I have decided to go back to school for a career change and I am there every day with a bunch of 18-19 year old kids. Most have no idea what any of that music sounds like. All they know is hip hop rap or death metal. I often ask myself if I too am a dinosaur. I'm right there with you.
