>My choice, Hotel California.
>Queen II, please lock me up for a week!

Well, now I know of at least 2 people who I better not be locked up in a room for a weekend with! I change the station if anything from those 2 albums comes on :-(

Movie choices are doable, tho...

album: Airplane - Baxters; movie : Ridley Scott's Legend or Altman's Nashville;
Sorry, but I'd take my wife over my Alembic ! :-)

Roger, a friend and I did the same thing with Thick as a Brick one long, wasted night. Well except for being in a rock quarry.

One CD for the weekend? Wheels of Fire
Movie? The Field

DUDE, I forgot all about JT's Thick as A Brick.
Man we wore that tape (8-track, anyone remember those) flat out. My best friend in high school and I used to fill up his Camaro pop in that tape and try to get lost driving around.
I remember it like it was yesterday, the low rumble dual exhaust, Tull's flute in the speakers and the occasional pop of a seed....or maybe that was the pop of a brain cell.
Oh well, still listen to Tull every now and then and do get to drive my daughters 68 Camaro but gave up on the other years ago.

Maybe we should all just check in at the Hotel California, take all our albums, movies, Basses etc.

We can check out any time, but we don't wanna leave!

Ah! Another vinyl man! Digital has come a long, long way, but analog is still the ticket IMHO! As our friends Down Under say: Good On Ya, Graeme!

Adam - one of my long held musical goals is to recreate 801 Live in its entirety on stage - the biggest challenges are finding the right singer (or should that be anti-singer) and finding keyboardists who are on top off the old analogue synthesis.

Great!

Man of La Mancha! That's one from left field. Don Quixote was a big thing in my house when I was growing up. My dad read me the original Cervantes story as a kid and I went to one of the first Broadway performances when I was 11. As a kid I used to wonder if Sancho Panza could be an Italian relative!

Bill Panzer, tgo

La Mancha has a wonderful score. It's probably my favorite musical, and I hope I get the chance to play it some day. It's actually kind of difficult, which is rare for a theatre bass part.
I start rehearsals tomorrow for Singing in the Rain. I had one of my students sight-read parts of it tonight. It looks like the typical easy theatre bass part.

Now, Jesus Christ Superstar, _there_ was a great bass score.

I played La Mancha 25 years ago for a university production, and while I don't remember much of the music I do remember much of the fun. Jesus Christ Superstar (the London version, not the ultra-square N.Y. version) and West Side Story are both awesome books I've been fortunate to play. I would love to do either (or both) of them again! I find it interesting that when one views The Rocky Horror Show (NOT the Picture show) in the context of Broadway musicals, it's not any more silly or outlandish than, say, Oklahoma!

And Bat Out of Hell has one of my favorite bass players, Kasim Sultan. The guy is fun to listen to, and I love that they kept the flubbed note in 2 out of 3 Ain't Bad.

Lots of excellent music listed in this thread, guys!
