This board can be used as a place for listing your favourite musicians/singers that have passed on instead of passing out...and are now jamming together in the possible hereafter. This board can give some of us an excuse to write our own imagined reviews of possible shows, or just a place to blabber on.
Most recently joining the place ( so far as I can tell) would be Jeff Healey...
I loved Chris Ledoux! His songs really hit home for me since they centered alot around my lifestyle. I saw him in concert for the first time in Indianapolis, IN, then in Cheyenne, Wyoming during Frontier Days, again at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville, TN and the last time at a little county fair up in the middle of Ohio. He put on an awesome show and I was never disappointed. He passed shortly after the little county fair in Ohio so I was glad I got to see him since I took the whole family and one of sons adored him at the time.
I would like to think that Jimmi Hendrix and Janis Joplin are still jamming. Then there is Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. All time King Elvis Presley still rocking the house.

I was sitting in my truck outside of a restaurant while out of town at a horse show with tears streaming down my cheeks the first time I heard The Ride shortly after his death.
I was six years old, my brother was ten
One July day came running in,
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
So, of course, we headed on down
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
Swung me up and sat me down on one
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
This old man whispered a few soft words
It was the best advice I've ever heard
Chorus:
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
And live like you ain't afraid to die
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
I went up a kid with shaking hands
And I came down a full grown man
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
Things were different for me now, I could tell
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
His rhyme would pop in my head again
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
Brambles and thorns that life entails
CHORUS
Well I know some day farther down the road
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
There'll stand a black horse riderless
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
And lift my song into the air
That I learned at that dusty fair
"Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
And live like you ain't afraid to die
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
Another that tugs at my heartstrings is Johnny Cash - Hurt
The "J's" definitely have it: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison would be great to see rock together! It also would also be fun to see Ray Charles, Freddy Mercury and Kurt Cobain jamming together; and George Harrison would sound great with Warren Zevon.
Let's also not forget Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Carr (drummer for KISS), Randy Rhoades (guitarist for Ozzy), Ritchie Valens, Kevin DuBrow (vocalist for Quiet Riot), Steve Clark (Def Leppard), John Bonham, Keith Moon, and John Lennon.

I know...that video of Johnny singing hurt was very moving for me.
You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band...
