I was listening to country and western, bluegrass, mo-town, Creedence, blood sweat and tears, Led Zeppelin, Mostly I listened to songs I liked and didn't pay much attention to who was behind them.
I was born on a bayou but up towards central Louisiana so my tastes were widespread. Listened to Cajun music long before it was cool to. Can't forget Chuck Berry, there wasn't a band for miles around that couldn't play Johnny B Goode and didn't have to play it every night along with Staggerlee. They might follow those songs with some like Evangeline, very classic cajun.
I went over to a friend's and she told me we had to go to the corner to listen to the band in the new place. The band consisted of Man, Phonse, Rod, and somebody I mercifully forgot. The only one that had a vague idea how to play was Man. It was indeed hilarious!
"We are going to play some Hank Williams." Ker plunk, ker plunk, ker plunk.
"We are going to play some Jimmi Hendrix." Two or three bars, Dernt der de dernt, ker plunk, ker plunk, ker plunk.
After two or three bars at most every song was identical although they announced a wide range of music! I had to leave after twenty minutes or so. I was laughing so hard that the tears were diluting my beer.
