O.K., I apolgize, Mojo! Everyone rips everyone off.Take Dave's great videos of Lennon. Well, the Beatles ripped off Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins etc. I guess it goes with the genre! Anyway, how about the Monkees doing Neil Diamond's great songs?

Nothin' personal and no need of apologies, Ern, it's become a pet peeve over the years, as I've heard it over and over from people who maybe haven't heard thousands of blues songs from every period in history-I really shouldn't let it bother me, but every now and then I get the urge to do a little educatin'.

My all time favorite cover is Duane Allman's "Dreams" as recorded by Molly Hatchet. Now that's one my southern rock band does and always goes over well.One day the rest of you will wake up and realize southern rock is the best music EVER!
