I must be the only one who likes Rush.

Kermit, is that you?

Yeah, but no. Kermit is non-sports royalty.

keyboard players next?

1. Rick Wakeman
2. Keith Emerson
3. Stevie Wonder
4. Billy Preston
5. John Lord
6. Jan Hammer
7. Booker T Jones
8. Billy Powell
9. Benmont Trench
10. Nicky Hopkins
11. Rod Argent
12. Ray Manzarek (once had as a passenger when I drove a limo)
13. Chick Correa
14. Richard Wright
15. Christine McVie
16. Kate Bush
17. Greg Allman
18. Diana Krall
19. Elton John
20. Billy Joel

I was wondering if you would have Ray Manzarek and you did with a vignette to boot. If you asked for an autograph who could blame you - I would have - but you were probably too classy.
I mention X as one of my favorite bands. Ray Manzarek was such a huge fan that he produced their first album and played on 3 songs including a remake of Soul Kitchen.

Howzabout Jerry Lee Lewis. The killer ain’t no filler.

And Al Kooper - for his participation on Like A Rolling Stone if nothing else.

And Donald Fagen…..Jules Holland…..Harry Chapin…..

my favoritedrummers (in no particular order)

1. Keith Moon
2. Neal Peart
3. Ringo
4. John Bonham
5. Ginger Baker
6. Buddy Rich
7. Dave Grohl
8. Phil Collins
9. Charlie Watts
10. Jim Keltner
11. Sheila E
12. Levon Helms

That’s a goody.
Somebody mentioned Karen Carpenter.
She was actually a great drummer.

I will be doing my best lead guitar list.

Carpenter was an excellent drummer. Most people don't think of her that way.

Carpenter was a very good live drummer. She had no touch in the studio, unfortunately.

Her true calling was singing, anyway.

Unfortunately it wasn’t eating.

my favorite keyboard guys

• leon russell
• mac rebennack
• bill payne
• art neville
• stevie wonder
• ray charles

i need some boogie woogie and some ragtime and some barrel house

Re Keyboards - McCartney was a very effective piano player. No compacted notes. He has a very airy breezy no unneeded notes. Baby I’m Amazed Lady Madonna The Long and Winding Road Hey Jude Dear Boy - all amazing.

could have lost my job asking for an autograph. I did tell him his music was the soundtrack to my misspent youth! Here are a few other celebrities I had as passengers, not that anyone really cares.

Bob Newhart (didn't saya word to me the whole trip)
Cheech Marin - very funny guy
John Irving - one of my favorite authors and a funny guy as well. I told him I read everything he wrote but may have missed one or two of the early books. He responded he probably should have missed one or two of them as well!)
Paul Rudd (Right after Dinner for Schmucks came out -very funny movie)
One of the Marsalis brothers and his band (don't remember which one) (playing with his band at the Sausalito Art & Wine festival. Had me stop at USF so they could rehearse for a hour or so...wouldn't let me come in while they were rehearsing
Emeril
Guy Fieri (didn't even know who he was at the time. Looked him up when I got home)
There were a few others but those are the ones I remember

Favorite Male singers and favorite female singers? All genres of music or Rock?

I might have McCartney, Lennon AND Harrison on a long enough list.

Ray Charles !!! I forgot him.
Nat King Cole could also play and FATS DOMINO could lay it down.

I must be the only one who likes Rush.

Rush was decent, but not a big fan. I will say they are all excellent musicians.

I can’t get by the voice of the singer.
I would have liked Super Tramp more with a more traditional singer also although he is much better.
