What Song Relates To Your WL Journey?

Hi Michael, From being a fat boy to an even fatter man, I found myself enjoying songs by and about big men. Among my favorite big singers are Burl Ives, Fats Domino, John Connolly, Barry White, Howln' Wolf, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Canned Heat. My still-favorite weight-related songs are: Three Hundred Pounds of Joy--Howlin' Wolf Built for Comfort--Howlin' Wolf The Fat Man--Fats Domino Roly-Poly--Doris Day They're great songs while we're big, on the way down, and, I suspect (not there yet), once we reach goal.

I really haven't thought much about this, but, Unchained - Van Halen Life in the Fast Lane - The Eagles Dreams - Van Halen Those come to mind the quickest and sum up some of my thoughts about the surgery.

Slow Ride by Foghat

Good one Dan

I'm too sexy--Right Said Fred. Theme from Rocky Theme from Chariots of Fire

Brooks And Dunn- Brand New Man

The song I have on my profile is So Far Away by the group Staind. To me this is my anthem.

Yepper Dave - on the money with Eric Johnson...seen him live on multiple occasions myself...most enjoyable were those pick-up jam sessions we could catch him at periodically when we lived in Austin.  I'm a trumpet player myself but my influences were typically guitar players...Metheny, Morse, Scofield, Johnson, Satriani, Gambale. And...not only are Alan and I from the same town, unbeknownst to us had the same song on our profile pages at the same time which is So Far Away by Staind.  It for me is a song with a great deal of meaning not only for how far I've come, but how far I'm going in the years ahead. If there is a single song that sums things up for me it's Right Now by Van Halen...this is especially true for me when my motivation is lacking - it reminds me to keep my priorities straight and not to put off those things I know are right and should be doing without fail.

Lucky Man, CF!

I'd love to catch one of his jam sessions. I did travel all the way to Nagoya to see him when he had that one special acoustic-only year. Closest I've come to anything novel and EJ. I've got all of his lesson videos, which are just filled with unbelievable playing. The man has an arsenal of  moves at his whim that would make have made Bruce Lee shudder. There you go - the Bruce Lee of guitar!
