    Probably true, sadly. But, bluegrass music is very much alive with new artists and styles (but is an acquired taste)
    Fine with me, I’d rather listen to oldies and classic rock from the 60’s and 70’s, than the studio produced, over-sampled, and stolen music prominent today.

    I was being a bit sarcastic of course. I enjoy the Seattle / Grunge music genre to this very day but I get what you mean about the current tunes generated today. My tastes are all over the place, I don't follow the "latest" fads, if I hear something I like, I just add to my favorites list.

    I am rather clueless about what is "popular" these days.

    why didn’t they work on it at Arky?

    true, you don’t pay that for a perennial backup and Fland was said to be one of the best guards in the SEC last year

    Pearl Jam is quite classic. As are Foo Fighters.

    Widespread Panic is about as classic as it gets. And with the bonus of Southern Rock elements.

    Prince was a genius the likes of which we rarely see on earth.

    Prince was a better guitarist than I had thought after seeing that show. But, check out the puzzled looks on the faces of the other guitarists on stage; don’t think they knew he thought he was the best guitarist in the world!

    Sorrrry....
    Forgot about The Who!
    On of my top favorites of the early 70's!
    Hint: Try mashing up Pinball Wizard with Folsom Prison Blues.
    (Same chord progression.)

    I saw Panic perform, "Travelin' Light" at the Wanne Festival years ago!

    I'm glad to see someone else knows about that, I start out playing Folsum Prison Blues then insert lyrics from Pinball Wizard, it works seamlessly and is a hit with the audience be it large or small!

    The minor pentatonic scale is a major pentatonic scale beginning on the sixth scale degree (Aminor = Cmajor). There are variants on the pent scale, but the most common one is derived from the major scale: 12356, where the 4th & 7th degrees are omitted. Start the same combo of notes on #6 and voila . . . minor.
    The important point though . . . . can Boogie play the blues?

    Another aspect of this fit that impresses me so much is how these two complement each other, especially on offense. Both are productive passers with high assist rates, so the ball doesn't stick with either. Both are good at things we want to run, like DHOs and ball screens, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Lee also just so happens to be good at the very things Fland isn't, like spot up shooting isolation, or scoring off the dribble, while Fland is good at the things Lee isn't, like catch and shoot or transition buckets.

    Assuming they are on the court together about half the time, I can see a world where Fland gets the ball off makes or misses, pushes the tempo or gets us into early offense, while Lee spots up off ball, then Lee takes the ball in a high ball screen while you run Fland off screens for catch and shoot or DHOs, but Lee isolates at the end of the clock, where he can get in the paint or take his step back. It really is a seamless fit offensively.

    Interestingly, Townshend likely helped to precipitate the synth 80s, as he (and Stevie Wonder) brought synthesizers into popular music.

    Im excited to see how these two fit together. I’m also excited to see how the other guards, like Klavzar and the Brown brothers, fit in.

    Yea I see what you were saying in your earlier post that the thread gets wildly off topic…


    Also see that teams that were having a hard time with our pace and tempo last season…welp, good luck this year…you in trouble.
