I know of very few people (besides me) whose record collection contains Beethoven and Pat Benatar; John Denver and The Doors and The Dukes of Dixieland; (the original) Blues Project and Blue Oyster Cult; Vivaldi and Stevie Ray Vaughan; Townes Van Zandt and Van Halen; Peter, Paul, and Mary and Pink Floyd; The Chambers Brothers and The Clancy Brothers; Bach and Black Sabbath; Santana and Simon and Garfunkel; THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW and Stan Rogers; Queen and Quicksilver Messenger Service; Rush and Tom Rush; Talking Heads and George Thorogood; Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly; Steely Dan* and Steeleye Span; Jefferson Airplane/Starship and Rickie Lee Jones; Canned Heat and The Cars; Benny Goodman and Grand Funk Railroad; The Ramones and Otis Redding; Paul Horn and Hot Tuna; Cream and Creedence Clearwater Revival; or Archie Fisher and FLASH FEARLESS VS. THE ZORG WOMEN. * Actually, I don't have any Steely Dan (I don't much care for them), but I couldn't resist the combination. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

I've got Tommy Dorsey & Benny Goodman, and also Beatles, Beach Boys, and Jan & Dean. From 1950s, I like groups like the Gaylords, Four Lads, & Four Freshmen, plus some songs on children's labels such as Peter Pan and Cricket.
