Know the man.

edited November 2012 in Musicians
Just posted in the "listening to..." thread about Elmore James. There's something about the way that he comes across to me in his music, and the music itself, with which I want to be associated.
It's been a long while (not since uni') that I plastered my space with pictures of musicians that set out the identity that I wished to portray. Recently (mid life crisis...?) I've had a hankering to do something similar (more classy of course - arty black and white prints, frames, no blutac, no neighbouring images of Sherilyn Fenn as per my digs circa 1993) in my home. I've been thinking about which musical people I would want to hang around the place. Current list (no numerical limit) think...

Chris Bangs
Beastie Boys
Beethoven
Sean Ryder
Winston Rodney (Burning Spear)
Charles Mingus
Jack Bruce
Cymande
Galliano
Ella Fitzgerald
Elmore James
John Lennon
Mix Master Morris
Peter Green
The Orb
The Stone Roses
Jimi Hendrix
Joan Armatrading
Miles Davis
Speedy J

I think there's 20 there.
Anyone else willing to lay bare there soul. Who are you...?
