I can't start listening to these links, I'll never head out the door to go to work. Janis Joplin and Grace Slick are two that I'd drop everything and crank it up! Such good memories!

I was certainly a fan of Grace and all things Airplane Speaking of female voices, anyone like Heart? I listended to a lot of their early stuff, and they are a band I still need to see live. More recently, their Kennedy Center performance of Stairway To Heaven in front of Led Zeppelin and the Obamas is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u-PjvRyr0Ips- great cover too Lex, ta

Gracie and her White Rabbit practically defined a generation for a while. It's a frequent flyer on my playlist. So the band that got me into jazz, without my really knowing it, was the wonderful Steely Dan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iac-vLq6tnY&t=3sI still can't comprehend a lot of jazz, but I do like me some John Coltrane and other music of its ilk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m24Q78QeHA&t=46s
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Heart haven't previously been on my radar, but that is a fantastic rendering of the song so I will have to delve into their oeuvre: thank you flotsam (for another former lawyer, you seem quite discerning... )! Stairway to Heaven has never been one of my favourite Led Zepp songs: the ones that really do it for me are Ramble On, Going to California and Moby Dick (too choosy, aren't I?) Hagatha, the charms of jazz still elude me (different strokes for different folks), but I do like some of Steely Dan's music, and I am heavily into the Dave Matthews Band who sometimes stray down that road a little. PS Found this which looks like an interesting collaboration featuring the ladies from Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzeckWog7Wk

It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

They offered a unit as part of my degree to help address those sorts of things Lex Heart (or one or the other Wilson sister) have performed quite a few Led Zeppelin tracks. Rock and Roll is probably their best known, but Immigrant Song and Battle for Evermore are both worth a listen. Going back to their own catalogue, here is a live (and far more recent) version of one of their signature tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqn0Kv4HBdM. The guitar intro is the ringtone for when my wife calls! Thanks for the Foo FIghters link.

Arts and Law Lex. The University strongly discouraged a straight Law degree (and actively encouraged extras), on the basis that doing a double degree made you a more well rounded perosn (and they were free when I did them so it wasn't about fees). I probably agree with them. I look forward to checlking out the links. I don't believe I know any of them. Much appreciated

Hagatha I cannot open your Johnny Winter link, but this is the one of his which did it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MY18yn4CFMYour other links were great tripos down memory lane, for which thanks!

Oh, yeah That one! The Johnny Winter link was for Highway 61 Revisited. I actually thought I'd linked to a live concert version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I06kTGxg82M

Hagatha, that link wouldn't open for me: possibly a geographical restriction. However I found some other links for him doing that song. Meanwhile, I stumbled across this young blues artist (who was new to me) a day or so ago: one to watch I think, Kingfish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-nTAgOMK7w The voice makes me think a little of Robert Cray who I don't think has had a mention here yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra2Qndv_xeE

Wow. Kingfish is an amazing guitarist. I'm hearing some Hendrix and some David Gilmour in that opening solo, mixed in with the blues. Kid should go far, if the world is just.

Huh. Psychedelic Country. Now I've seen everything! Sturgill has a fine voice. I can listen to country on a limited basis, especially if it's a decent song like that one.

I was looking for Tim Rose singing Morning Dew on iTunes and Youtube, believing it to be one of his original songs, but discovered that it was actually written by Bonnie Dobson (another one from Canada) and was surprised that I had never previously heard of her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZXuuKwhVvI As part of the search I also arrived at an album Ah Feel Like Ahcid: American Psychedelic Artefacts from the EMI Vaults (24 tracks on a CD or 30 on an iTunes download) - not something I was tempted to buy, but I did think that it might strike a nostalgic chord with some of you ...but today's main event for me is this one from Playing For Change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oL_pCjPgUg - check out Chris Pierce: quite a voice!
