re: This should be fun - 80s Female singers/bands who flew under the radar

Maria McKee of Lone Justice—a country tinged rock band. She later went onto a decent solo career in the 90s. Lone Justice’s first album and her first two solo albums were great.

One of my favorites also. My favorite version is off the live album “24 Nights” recorded at the Royal Albert Hall.

In recent years I've shifted to Grayton Beach just past the madness of Destin and just before the next madness of the planned communities of 30A. No hotels or high-rise condos--just houses. A couple of cool dive bars and food stops and a very UNCROWDED beach. The first time we went we stayed in a ca...

All-time favorite shows were the George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic shows between Christmas and New Year. Didn't hurt that often you got to see Dr. John the night before. Some rough weekends there!
Otherwise, Squeeze, Cowboy Junkies, early Indigo Girls, Stanley Jordan, the Smithereens....

Looks like a pretty good agenda. But a head's up about the Polynesian Cultural Center, in case you haven't been there. It's run by the Mormon Church, so if you stay all day and then for the night time luau, be prepared for an alcohol-free experience. I know you're taking a young teen, but just sayi...

Elton John and Leon Russell made an album together in 2010--The Union. Only time Elton ever did an entire album with another artist. That should tell you something.

Not necessarily. I think it's just that the "better" original music these days isn't what's spoon fed to us. In the past "album rock" was all over the radio. Now you have to wade past ...
