Or Mustang Sally or Free Bird.......

BTW, I used to play with an absolutely amazing 18 year old drummer that was literally dead on Neil Peart's sound. We would play 2112 live and it was amazing. The crowd (friends and buddies.... who am I kidding.... 40 people!) loved it. Drums are the key though. If the drummer is off a bit, it sounds like crap.

"Cocaine" - Eric Clapton

If you play this, I or one of my friends will be obligated by law to hunt you down and beat the everlovin' crap out of you.

Look, I don't WANT to do it, but that's the law.

No Sweet Home Alabama or Mustang Sally? I'd come to see you guys every week if I could drive there. Nice list!

I suggested to the drummer that we do 'Bell Bottom Blues' instead of 'Cocaine'.

The Drummer is unbelievable, he was jazz drummer for local jazz cats and hold a degree in percussion. We are really lucky to have him. Apparently, he's been looking for a rock band for awhile, but couldn't find anyone on his level so to speak.

Which is really funny because that was the same problem we'd all been having in trying to find people to get a band going together.

It was blind luck that we all got together.
