A few years ago, I had a friend ask me a great question that got me thinking. He said, "If you could go back in time and see any musician play live, who would you want to go see?" I was a little surprised by my automatic response because the first person who came out of my mouth was "Bob Marley." I don't personally play and sing reggae very often...but I love me some Bob Marley. I love the upbeat vibe, and just how it makes me feel. Maybe it's partially because I remember listening to Bob Marley on our family vacations to the beach. But for whatever reason, out of all the great musicians that I would love to hear play, what sounded the most appealing to me was to hear Bob Marley in Jamaica in a small venue (I envisioned a little palm tree hut or something) listening to him play his songs on his acoustic guitar. I still kind of dream about what that would be like.
So I decided for one of my first "cover" posts, I was going to start with one of my favs, Bob Marley. It seems fitting for this Summer weather I guess.
What about you? If you could go back in time and see any musician play live, who would you want to see and hear?
John Denver. Don't judge, but I'd love to see a chipper John Denver playing for a perky crowd somewhere like Sundance's outdoor ampitheater.
ReplyDeleteNoah, totally not judging, John Denver would be amazing- especially outdoors in the mountains somewhere!
DeleteThere is nothing like Bob Marley to put you in a good mood- it would have been awesome to see him live!
ReplyDeleteI have this dream of being transported back in the past- all dressed up on a date and dancing to Frank Sinatra play.
I love this idea too! A date night with Frank Sinatra...um, amazing.
