<\/param><\/object><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Let’s get it on, shall we? As always, your gut<\/strong> answers to the following questions are what matter.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is there a studio musician<\/strong> whose playing you so admire that you’d take a chance on buying an unknown album mainly based on his or her involvement?<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite Paul McCartney album track (ie, not a single\/Greatest Hits number)<\/strong> as a solo artist\/Wings leader?<\/p>\n

Which senior artist<\/strong> most needs to crank out one more great album for the benefit of rock and, more broadly, humankind<\/em>?
\nLet’s say the government could provide a grant and both a team of therapists as well as a restraining order on Don Was<\/strong> to help coax said masterpiece out of this artist.<\/p>\n

What instrument<\/strong> do you most wish you could hear more often in today’s rock ‘n roll music?<\/p>\n

Who’s the Roger Corman-style, B-movie producer<\/strong> of rock ‘n roll?<\/p>\n

What ’50s founding father (or mother) of rock ‘n roll<\/strong> do you feel has been most frequently forgotten or dismissed in recent years?<\/p>\n

In these days of home recording and independently produced albums, who’s your favorite current studio musician<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Finally, Townsman Alexmagic<\/strong> suggested the following question for today’s Dugout Chatter:<\/p>\n

On one of those blog music aggregator sites recently, I saw a bunch tracks by the ill-fated New Monkees<\/strong> and it reminded me that, at about the same time, there were also television shows for a “New Munsters” and “New Gidget” that were only slightly less disastrous than the New Monkees show\/band. It got me thinking about which musical “brands” would be most\/least successful if re-launched today as “The New [Insert Band Name
\nHere].”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I look forward to your responses!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
