Hello Again Kasperow; I wasn't really expecting you to know (or learn ) the specific songs on my personal fav jam list. That's why I pre-qualified myself as an "old guy" with a heart firmly planted in 70's root rock. The point was more that the songs are all pretty easy riff-rooted songs, I can play start-to-finish, that everyone ( in my demographic anyway ) knows, loves, and relate to. Your songs will, of course, reflect your "crowd". I'd say anyone who graduated in 78' or earlier, and was a music fan, would recognize most/all of my jam songs.
Hold The Line only surprised me because I haven't heard it, or any mention of the band Toto, in at least 25 years. The signature riff in that song is classic but, if I remember correctly (?))...the verses are bass driven with guitar accents.
By smoke breaks etc. I was referring to a few guys in a basement or garage knockin down some tuneage for fun. More of a "gang" than a "band". The older you get the harder it becomes to find like-minded people to do that. I really,really miss it. I can tell you are passionate about this quest, I hope it serves you well.
