Yes.

A rare talent, opening act for Steve Vai when she was 15, and sharing the stage with Santana when she was 18. And then she came to LA.

Check out her latest album "O". Total rock and not a bad song in the lot.

I read the other day Gentle on My Mind by Glen Campbell is the 2nd most played song ever on radio:

Some have called this the very first rock and roll song.

Double checked this one. I believe that the first acknowledged R&R song was Rocket 88, by Jackie Brenston. Here it is:

But you ran out of gas
Down the road a piece
Then the battery went dead
And now the cable won't reach...

Folks, let me tell you about my buddy Bloom.....this pop-eyed man he run so fast, they say flames shot out of his heels.
Why, he burned up the cotton, he scorched the corn, he made a road through the farmer's field!

 

[Scud49]

Heading down the road, forty thousand headmen
Going around the lane, going around the lane, around, around the lane
Forty thousand headmen on my trail, oh...

 

[Shenandoah]

I've spent most of my career traveling coast to coast, training various hospital cardiac personnel a week at a time, on how to use our equipment. This song hits home pretty well for me.

 

[Scud49]

And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice...

 

[Bigboote]

“Born to be Wild”, famous from “Easy Rider”, classic film with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson.
