Right Down the Line.

That's a great example of a song I know really well from riding in the back seat of the car as a kid but would have no freaking idea who it is. There are lots of those.

So... I went to a wedding a few years ago... the Guitarist from this Band was the live entertainment... he had worked with the groom at Circuit City in the 90s. The guy could sing and play though... he did a singing/playing karoake type thing where he was the the entire act.

Once I found out who he was, I asked if he'd play this for us... thankfully, he was happy to play it... I wasn't sure if it would p!ss him off but he was cool.
