Let's have some fun -- I'm asking SDFers to construct their own musical Mount Rushmore -- the most important people in your musical head. A few rules, 'cause we gotta have 'em: 1. You must pick four, just like on the real Mount Rushmore -- no more, no less. 2. They must be Americans. No Beatles, no Joni Mitchell/Neil Young, etc. 3. They must have done the bulk of their work in the 20th century. 4. This ain't about starting fights -- this is about having fun! Here are my choices: 1. Brother Ray 2. Johnny Cash 3. Louis Armstrong 4. Muddy Waters Your turn! | ||

Vic, I can't see Mt Rushmore without Brother Ray or Louis Armstrong. I Love Johnny Cash and he cast a big shadow over Country, and to some extent, over Rock and Blues also. That said, I'm gonna keep your list, except I would replace Muddy (and I love Muddy, thx to J. Winter and others) with B. Gordy. I'm not really comfortable having 4 men and no women, so I may have to revisit this. Nice concept. |
