Not recognized in their lifetime?
Harpoon Job? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? I loved your post. I am a fan of several on your list, but must admit that I am not familiar with most of them. Believe me, I will do some research on your list and will definitely indulge myself i...

Newbee, I have ordered LaBoheme on your recommendation. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Maybe I should have named this thread "Opera for People Who Don't Love Opera " or "Opera for People who Know There Is Something to Opera but Haven't Figured I...

On an ironic note, I don't think we middle aged folks appreciate the accomplishments of Lennon and McCartney, and Brian Wilson. Yes, they gained fame and money, but do we really appreciate their musical genius, or are they just some guys we grew u...

Who needs spellcheck?
Lugnut, i may be being presumptious, but absolutely no offense was taken...and as a teacher of literature and a student of languange, I find the human brain and its capacity for understanding and misunderstanding to be fascinating. Would "toejam" ...

Simple guitar songs for beginning musician
Ellery, I know "The Lou Gehrig Story" by heart, But I can't find the chords anywhere. If I could "I'd be the luckiest man alive". Oh, you're talking about Black Sabbath. Their version is a distant second. 
Simple guitar songs for beginning musician

What's your latest "Discovery"
A "duhk" walked into a store and asked for a tube of chapstick. The clerk said, "that'll be .79." The duhk replied, "Just put it on my "bill". Quack,quack quack.The next day the same duhk walked into the store and put a pack of condoms on the coun...

I like most types of music, but mostly folk, rock (not metal, grunge, etc) Also some country (but not pop country)

Actually, if you try this enough, you will find that the theory does not always work---as in the second post with the word "untie" for "unite". Or "Deos tihs sunod derousangly lkie sevibuvrse caleteribon of artamuesim?" In ohter wrods, it is not t...
