| Are there any quality Phish recordings? "Billy Breathes" is my favorite Phish album. I think that most of Trey's solo efforts are well recorded. I like ""Live at the Tab' out of all the live official releases. | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Most of the 70's rock bands with violin players have been mentioned with one exception- the Dixie Dregs. | |

| Etiquette for a listening session? You know what they say: "there are a million and one uses for duck tape". | |
| Canadian rock and roll If nothing else, with a name like the Absolute Whores, the band must have a good sense of humor! BTO and the Guess Who are certainly Canadian classics. If you aren't familiar with Blue Rodeo, you should check out their "Five Days in July" album. "... | |
