The Musician Association Game!

[Myles]

Time to begin the first of many TheFret.Net forum games!

You have to think of a musician who is in some way associated with the musician posted by the previous person. Please explain yourself even if its obvious.

I'll do the first couple to make sure everyone understands the game's concept.

Paul McCartney
John Lennon

Reason: Play in some band together... must not have been too popular I can't remember it.

John Lennon
Elton John

Reason: Elton John was featured on Lennon's "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night"

So whoever is next has to associate a musician with Elton John. Good Luck

John Jorgensen (great guitarist)

Reason: Jorgensen played in Elton John's band, but left in 2000 to focus on his own solo career.

Ok, eating lunch and reviving an old fret game thread.

Eric Clapton said Sonny Landreth is "probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced."
