So I had to reach into my "best bag" and come up with this SRV classic. But I'm struggling here. She's tough:

Annie came back with another Skynard classic:

WWMAGA

Great song, but I sense a chink in the armor since she put forth two songs in a row by the same artists. Aha!

No response from Annie. I appear to be the winner ... until tomorrow anyway.

What the heck does wwmaga mean?

One of my favorite chord progressions. Popped this CD in the car this morning and ended up rewinding every time this was over.

I got the CD in 1991. It's old enough to have graduated college and bought a house. The music itself is almost as old as my oldest car, and dates back far enough that Dave Mustaine was involved with its writing. (Listen to Hangar 18 - if you can tolerate Megadeth, I can't but they sure did play it a lot on MTV late at night in the early 90s - Mustaine used his contribution to Ktulu there)

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

WWMAGA

"Brucie" didn't have a lock on Asbury Park. John Lyon, aka "Southside Johnny" was a pretty formidable rival. A great south Jersey shore talent in the seventies, and still performs today.

Another:

WWMAGA

(Brucie is over-rated and way too political).

Max Creek: Windows

Live in Bridgeport, CT, 2012

WWMAGA

I used to see Max Creek at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel and The Met in Providence back in the eighties. They're still good today. Older, but maybe wiser and better.

Trufax: Growing up, my mom had a boyfriend who had a ridiculously expensive electronic piano with hydraulically weighted keys and the sound was tied into motion sensors and feedback and it was as close to a real actual piano as you could get in 1991, and he would play the bass line of this song all the time. The piano was directly above my bedroom (I had the whole basement, it was rad) and I grew to hate this song, because I'd be trying to sleep or read a book or whatever and I'd get the annoying upstairs neighbor Thump-thump-thump-thump-Thump-thump-THUMP-thump from him hammering on those exquisitely weighted keys and did I mention yet how annoying it was? but I feel bad because the song rocks. And anyway it was somewhat of a good thing because it taught me to listen for the bass line in songs instead of just paying attention to the foofaraw on top of it.

I did mess with that piano a few times but I always preferred the actual bass guitar that Mom gave me. Berk pianos. But the Doors rule.

More trivia: My hair looks like that if it is short. It can't be combed, it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. This is why I have had hair long enough to pull into a ponytail for the past 22 years or so, as it is the only way I don't have permanent bedhead.

One of the other things Mom gave me were the collected works of Metallica, along with a couple music books of same. I'm not sure exactly why she did that, but I'm really thankful for that.

Never could quite "get" what he was doing with harmonics.

I had no idea that he'd covered this song, but the music is so in line with his style that the world would not be right if he hadn't, so it was no surprise when I found out he did.
