John Mayer (who?)

You're kidding, right? :-?

[JCT777]

I like everything I have heard by John Mayer. Particularly "No Such Thing".

[Lindaloo]

I like Reba!!

Count me in to see Vince Gill too. HOO BABY!!

[OtherHD]

I like everything I have heard by John Mayer. Particularly "No Such Thing".

I don't much care for the guy because his songs are WAY overplayed on the radio here. But anyone who has never heard of him...that's just...whoa.

I am amazed though at how fast he's putting out albums. He's released like 3 in the last 2 years, with each having at least one hit single. Not too shabby.

Randy Travis once performed at my church. We got there an hour early. The line was over 1000 feet long by the time we got there. :o He must be a popular guy.

[GalvestonDuck]

LOL! Sorry! I know the big guys like Garth, Toby, Tim. But for the past few years, I don't listen to music on the radio much anymore just I guess I don't know the new artists. Just news.

Since I've been a fan of Amy Grant's for about 20 years now, I'm going to have to get used to Vince Gill. I really liked Gary and his music. I don't dislike Vince. I just never really got into his music or his voice. So it's going to be hard to hear him along with Amy Grant. IMO

AJ is the pick of the crop on that list. I've seen him 4-5 times.

30 #1 hits...enough said

GD...you'll appreciate this. I once told my wife that "I'm not a homosexual, but if I was, Alan Jackson would turn me on". Then she went on about Shania...we had some fun with that.

[GalvestonDuck]

LOL! I've heard quite a few women talk about Shania, but not many men talk about Alan. I guess ST is the 90's version of ONJ. I'm not particularly impressed with ST's looks, but that's just my opinion. AJ's best asset is probably his eyes.
