    yeah David Allan Coe is Alright by me. Every time he came played a show in Flint Michigan there were always fights huge fights. All the different bike clubs would show up in the venue would not let them where their cuts inside so guys would start fighting and you weren't sure which club you are fighting with. Yeah they always had three or four police officers parking their Cruisers I'm out front of the venue everytime David Allan Coe played out

    I listen to mostly orchestral.

    There are those out there who have come upon a crazy truck driving conducting Beethoven, or Tchaikovsky, Brahms, or Mahler.

    I lost my conducting baton out the window somewhere in Missouri.

    I enjoy 80's pop, 90's alternative, and Rush.

    Red Barchetta is a good one, a song about a future dystopia where petroleum fuel powered engines are no longer legal. Rush was way ahead of their time and forsaw the way the world was heading.

    The music I enjoy employs 3 groups of people:
    Buddhist chant group.
    Kazoo players group.
    Yelling into a canyon and listening to their echo group.
    These 3 groups play together at the same time.

    I use to love to listen to " William Tell Overture " but by the end of the song, I was going 115 miles an hour.

    Glad to see I'm not the only EDM guy in here. But at the same time, I also like to listen to some smooth jazz tracks and also play the paranormal stories channels off of Youtube like a "books-on-tape" for the longer drives I still occasionally get. "Lazy Masquerade", "Be.Busta", "Hellfreezer", "Ghoulish Gal", "Let's Read", and a few other channels with paranormal story compilations always keep me going at night.

    Its kinda weird after all these years seein how things change out here.....and how in many instances certain music always seems to bridge the gap.....we like to joke at home we like both types of music....country&western....lol....but the wonderful thing about music is how it can most always be used to find common ground...pretty mixed bunch here.....yet a lot of agreement....and truth be known once upon a time this ol worn down red neck....was known to throw a Day Price 8track or 2 out the window of an early RModel ....when he realized his co driver(yeah every fights w/there ol man bout sumthin)had done the same to my Zeppelin tapes.....lmao....carry on

    I went to College in Frostburg, and when that big tornado hit Frostburg and LaVale I was just starting down the hill to see a friend. Saw the twister and went back to Duncans bar for another beer. When I went back down my friends house and all those around it were gone, they were in the basement and fine.
