    These are the ones I listen to the most but I like smooth jazz and Tim Janus once in awhile too.
    Recently met a guy and went to see him play.
    Lazer Lloyd. Eclectic philosophy of playing guitar and singing that is worth listening to.

    One of, if not the most, under rated, classic Metal bands in HISTORY!! Also one of the BEST!!

    Here's a guy nobody probably has ever heard of... the emotion in this song and on his face is incredible to me... if you can relate to his words, it's hard not getting emotional right along with him...

    Here's an FGI member with an original take and some added, to an oldie. Pretty sure that Hammer and Rex met him while they were here at the house.

    Took lots of pics, but this one is for you.

    Man... he can make that guitar sing.... it's a Singleton model, cedar top, mahogany back, maple neck. About $5k, without the bells and whistles....

    Me, aka "Tequila Tuco" in Costa Maya at one of the tequila-tasting events in Costa Maya. Yes, I've been framed. LOL

    And lastly... my lovely soulmate showing her windswept beauty at the Costa Maya resort

    What a fabulous time.... I am officially on Day 1 of the "Back Home Detox" tour. 🙁

    But what a getaway it was! Shared many drinks with the performers after the shows!

    Hoping to get back there in 2020!

        Wow great pics!! I'm so glad you guys had a great time!!!

        I really might have to reconsider going on one.

        Brian Culbertson is going to be a little over an hour away in a month or so. But - of course I have to work that night!!

            I was pleasantly surprised with Culbertson's performance. So much so that I'm looking at his tour calendar to see when he's heading my way.

            These jazz cruises aren't cheap, but if you love smooth jazz - it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

            Very intimate setting... very laid back. Roughly 15-20 concerts, and the big one each night with the headline artists. These artists appreciate the fans, make time for them, taking pictures, talking with them, etc...

            🙂

              What a wonderful experience this was! The video below was back in 2015, but he performed it for us.

              Such a blessing it was. 🙂

              Right now I'm listening to Pandora radio's Van Morrison channel.

              Listening to Luther Vandross tonight.

              Such a distinctive quality of voice he had... he left us much too soon back in 2005. One of my favorites he remade back in '88, from the late, great R&B artist Major Harris who passed back in 2012.

              Wife won some tickets to see Brad Paisley on my birthday, he's been on her bucket list to see. I'm not a country guy, would rather see Shinedown/Godsmack/Bad Wolves at the same venue. But for free tickets, I'll go, and people watch 😝 .

              But, the opening act for Brad Paisley is this kid Kane Brown - I'd never heard of him, and checked on youTube. Not really country, doesn't have that "twang" that I've never liked (Alan Jackson, especially). The kid has a great voice, and has quickly become a fav.

              Have also found this guy from Norway, Leo Morrachioli, who does covers of songs in almost any genre. Amazingly talented, he does all of his own production of his videos, and usually plays all the instruments (sometimes he has guest appearances).

              Here is his cover of Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, by Nine Inch Nails.
