Another hardly mentioned is Mark Kendall. Never cared too much for the tunes from Great White that got air time. But, if you listen to the "B" tracks you can find some real gems from Kendall
Barely old enough to even talk, my daughter knew almost every word to Once Bitten Twice Shy. It wasn't my doing but, I guess it was a catchy enough tune that she caught onto it quickly. I recall many times her sitting in her car seat singing, "my my my, once bitten twice shy baybuh".mrmetal wrote:I agree totally with the Mark Kendall statements. None of that Great White shit was hard to play or spectacular, but they wrote some kick ass, catchy guitar hooks and the solos were alway spot on with the songs. I enjoyed the hell out of Great White back in the day and always loved jamming those tunes with friends when we got together.
haha... yeah, I caught my son singing "giving the dog a bone..." the other day. I sure hope he isn't singing that at school.Doobie wrote:Barely old enough to even talk, my daughter knew almost every word to Once Bitten Twice Shy.

I wonder if he actually knows what that song is talking about?Glad you brought that up because I wasn't going to share this but, with yours said, I will.mrmetal wrote:haha... yeah, I caught my son singing "giving the dog a bone..." the other day.

But, the story doesn't end there. The other day I ran across some old cassette tapes. When she was just a toddler I bought her a Playskool rugged and tough cassette player. She carried that thing around EVERYWHERE with her. So, I put one of the cassettes in the player to see what it was as it was not marked. To my joyful surprise it was one of her homemade Playskool tapes. There were a lot of lapses between sentences and such so I just let it play on as I went about cleaning the house. One of her singing episodes on tape included the Married With Children theme song Love and Marriage which totally cracked me up. Then she jumped right in to Old McDonald Had A Farm. But, the shocker came just a short time later. There it was! "smoooootha bin ya. Where i wanna go, where i wanna gooooo". OMG! 
That little bitty voice of hers singing that song again! So funny. Anyway, when she got home that night I told her to flip on the stereo and play the cassette in the deck. I had rewound it to the perfect spot at the beginning of her smootha bin ya rendition. Needless to say, we both laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes. She can't believe I let her go around singing that song. Hell, she didn't have the words right - no harm done the way I see it. BTW she loves that song still and I wouldn't take a million dollars for that cassette!
