Welcome to MusicBanter, Bob.
The Beatles were the first rock band whose music I heard, and I still like quite a few of their songs.
I also feel "Annie's Song" by John Denver is one of the most beautiful songs ever created. I like to sing and play various instruments in my spare time, too, but never have as much time as I'd like.
I hope you'll continue to enjoy the site and meeting like-minded people here!
