If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could pick one famous musician to be stuck there with, who would you pick?

I would pick Gordon Bok because he could tell me great stories at night when I was scared. When he finished teaching me everything he knew musically, and we became bored of being stuck on the island, he could build us a sailboat and I bet he would be my best bet to navigate us back to safety.

Any musician that could build a boat, find food, purify water, catch fish, make fire, build shelter, ect ect...

Music would be the least of my concerns... the first order of business would be survival... THEN I'd sing for myself!! LOL!!!

Elvis Costello, coz then he'd write a song about it and I'd have to be a character in the song. It would be about being shipwrecked, and how that's an analogy for our lives etc etc. And in the CD booklet, he'd tell a long and rambling story about our experience.

Also, we could sing duets. I sing a third above harmony in most of his songs when I listen to him, especially all the Coward Brothers songs!

At first I thought Jim Morrison, but then I remembered my ex, who bears a striking resemblance to Jim (which, although that was one of the things that first attracted me to him, would make a it a little weird to be with the real Jim), so I think I've narrowed it down to three:

Elvis Costello--Who is just amazingly talented and a wonderful singer.

Marilyn Manson--Who is amazingly intelligent, albeit a little odd. I mean, hey, the man's a genius. I'm sure he could think of a way to get us off the island, and if nothing else, we could have great conversation. . .

Ryan Kennebeck--A friend of mine, and lead singer and guitarist of the Christian punk band Eightbit. He's good at EVERYTHING (except math), so he's someone else who might be good to have around on a desert island.

Honestly, I think I would Elvis Costello, though. I LOVE his music. . .

I think if Callie, Keli and I ever end up on the same ship, Elvis Costello should be really worried.

If they have to be famous, and if I can't have Elvis... probably Chris Izaak. Who cares what his music's like!

Marylin Manson would die of sun-poisoning if he had to spend more than an hour a day outside. Maybe that would be his motivation for getting off of the island.

I know she's a dancer, but I would pick Jean Butler. I know she can't do much step-dancing in the sand, but I doubt I'd be worried much about step dancing. Like 'Spaw intimated: I may not live long, but I'd die happy.

As far as musicians go, I'd probably pick Nancy Griffith because she's got the voice of an angel.

Alison, I'm sure you know that you just CRUSHED Big Mick and I ache for him 'cause I taught him everything he knows about women.

I realize Spaw already has "dibs" on Emmy Lou Harris, so at the risk of being stamped a "dirty old man," I'd choose Martina McBride. Even if Spaw relented and released his pick, I'd still be thought of as the dirty old man of course. Doesn't bother me a bit!

I would want someone who would play with me not just too me,
I'm sure the novelty would wear off just listning after a while.
And as far as taking an imposter along, I am sure the aged Sean, would die grinning in his sleep after a week or so(Dirty lucky bastard) and then there would only be lonelyness......and the God forsaken pipes.
I can readily think of many I could do WITHOUT.
Perhaps a Womble would be good.
If I got sick of listening, at least I could cook and eat one of the things.

Hey Chicky, nothing wrong with Chris Isaak's music! Although he'd not be my choice...

"Michael" sounds the best bet, cos he can row the boat ashore when the ship goes down. And it sounds like he's got his whole family with him, so there's food for a bit! :-)

Incidentally, has anyone ever wondered why sister's trimming the sails, if Michael's already rowing? Or why, if there's enough wind to fill a sail, Michael's still paddling away?

As I can handle the boatbuilding and survival stuff pretty well. And I wouldn't want to be stuck with some showoff 'musician' I'd opt for a singer. But there's so many good ones. How would you choose between Melanie, Eartha Kitt, Cheryl Wheeler, Sue Trainor, Peggy Seeger... Of course if I had Tree with me then I'd have to choose a guy, Someone like Tom Paxton or Guy Wolff or, no p'r'aps not 'cos I'd have to watch over Tree then.

This is a HARD queston.

David Russle if I wanted to learn more classical guitar.

As for oppisit gender, violin prodigies (around my age, 20) are almost always a turn on.

Some one I could learn (musically) from though.

If I was to be stranded for a short time, my friend Gordon Bok. He knows how to build boats, and, I know how to navigate. I can also fix anything .(but a broken heart)

We get along well and never run out of things to talk about. Now, if it was to be a long time... Jane Fonda.
