Anji (Paul Simon version) -- as a 12 year old it was the coolest guitar piece I'd ever heard. I thought that if I could ever play that song, I'd have "arrived". I learned it that year. I didn't arrive.

Somebody Stole My Gal (Benny Goodman version) -- one of my earliest childhood memories -- Mom and Dad both loved to dance and BG's "Hi-FI" was one of their records that I nearly wore out. I still remember the two of them rolling up the livingroom rug and dancing. And smiling. Those were happy times.

Walkin' On A Country Road The album "Sweet Baby James" changed my musical life (as it changed the music of many guys my age).

So many. A day never goes by that I don't listen to and play music.
