A few years ago my wife passed after battling cancer for 5 years. At her graveside, I played and sang "Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff as per her request. I have no idea what my friends will play for me. For my wedding in 1978, the band played "At Last" by Etta James. My wife let me pick it out. It still works and I have attended a few weddings since where it was played.
I like the Black Crowes and "She Talks to Angels" has crept into my own repertoire from time to time. I like open and altered guitar tunings. To me, the greatest by far Southern Rock band was the Allman Brothers Band. They had a knowledge of music that far surpassed their rivals. I was recently listening to the first cd of John Coltrane's Afro Blue Impressions when I realized that it was the inspiration for the second disc of Allman Brothers Band at the Fillmore East. Song for song!. I Googled John Coltrane Allman Brothers and got hundreds of hits. Imagine that on an album that I have listened to for half a century, I would get a fresh perspective. Although nearly everyone on those two albums has passed, they still live on. Music is like that.
