I would add, however, that The Ramones apparently gave those of us actually playing it some fits, too.

I can’t wait to hear the Houserockers do “Dead Man’s Party.” That should rock!

As for Love Shack, I can gay it up nicely. Me and my man Fred go way back!

Brian would do a bang up job on Love Shack, btw…

For all you keeping score – The Ramones stuff gives me fits… – it’s hard to play simple. It’s not hard stuff because of the chords, it’s hard because the rhythm is so friggin’ steady. The mind wants to do something else. You start thinkin’ on the Ramones stuff and you’re toast.

The Knack, The Vapors, pretty much most of “The..” bands rocked.

Now if you could find a couple women, you could do “Rock Lobster”...that would not suck at all

To Chris, too, for learning the keyboard part of that there 80’s newfangled artsy-fartsy music.

“My Sharona” is a definite possibility for the future, though!

Now if we can get him to learn “Fascination Street” and “My Sharona”....

Ooooh…”Just Another Day”...yeah, Paul playing Boingo!
