A to Z Challenge: Queens of the Stone Age

I discovered the Queens of the Stone Age through Them Crooked Vultures a supergroup featuring Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin, and Josh Homme. Homme was from Queens of the Stone Age.

The band consists of founder, lead vocalists, guitar and piano player Josh Homme, John Theodore on drums, Michael Shuman on bass, guitar and keyboards. The band also includes Dean Fertita on guitar, percussion, and keyboards along with  Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, lap steel guitar and percussion.

The band has received six Grammy nominations and released six albums since their debut in 1998.

Well this is my post for the letter Q for the A to Z: Challenge. The challenge will continue on Monday. Stay tuned for more....

Happy Birthday Quincy Jones

 

Today Quincy Jones celebrates his 81st birthday. Today we celebrate his career and wish him a happy birthday. We started the music videos off with n appearance he had on the David Letterman Show.

Has anyone had a career in music entertainment as successful as Quincy Jones? I am sure some probably have made more money. However 79 Grammy Award nominations and 27 Grammy Award wins surely puts Quincy Jones near the top, if not at the top.


Above he is with Simply Red and Chaka Khan. One of the perks of having a great career is the chance to perform with so many other talented musicians crossing musical genres.

Hope you enjoy and I will be back
