Honestly, if I had to pick one guy...

Man, I listened to so many records growing up, but this guy and his band moved me musically and lyrically when I was in HS. Positive messages in a time when most of their peers were railing against the establishment...Very, very under rated, IMO...

I'd pick Kerry Livgren of Kansas to visit with...

and thank for a number of things...

Actually, no. The people I'd most like to meet, past and present, probably aren't even musicians. BTW, Diki's right; it is a silly question. That's why it's hard for some of us to give you a serious answer. Truth is, I'd probably rather meet (the historical) Jesus Christ, or Ghandi, or Martin Luther King, or even Attila the Hun than say, Thelonius Monk or Charlie Parker. I've met some great musicians over the years; few of them had anything significant or prophetic to say. Search your soul, you'll come to the same conclusion.

Aside from all the silly answers....
If it was up to me I would take the money from the person in question & donate it to the nearest Burn Center to help people of tragedy or some other worth while charity like Autistic Children or our Veterans......that's worth a big Smile!

There's nobody I idolize that much, even if I had the money. IF I did have that kind of money, I'd give it to artists who are not as well known that I really think should get a little more cred. Emily-Clair Barlow, Quebe Sisters, and some songwriters for both of them so they can add some original music to their repertoir.

The money IS going to Charity is it not??? (that's my understanding of the story - I could be wrong).

Anyway, if that's the case, there's nothing wrong with exploiting your fame in that way IMHO.

Oh, and Paul Mcartney.

Now that I think about it again..., one person who would be at the top of my list would be Jordan Rudess... That is one very talented, and very educated keys player!

Squeak...I guarantee after an hour 1 on 1 with him you'd walk away with some KB tricks & tips on your playing you dont have now for sure.

Good Pick
