For me, life doesn’t get any better than last week’s Rock Legends Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas--an amazing lineup of 21 bands performing day and night. It was like Woodstock at sea; four days of peace, love and rock 'n' roll.<br /><br />Participating artists included ZZ Top, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, John Kay and Steppenwolf, Molly Hatchet, the Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, Foghat, Dickie Betts and Great Southern, Johnny Winter, his brother Edgar Winter, Devon Allman (the guitar-playing son of Gregg Allman), Artimus Pyle (former drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd), Pat Travers and several more. <br /><br />Most of these bands (but not all) fall into the Southern Rock category.<br /><br />The story behind this event is almost as amazing as the cruise itself. It was all instigated by a woman who had never before promoted a music concert: Pamela Myers, vice president and treasurer for the Native American Heritage Association (NAHA). This four-star charity benefits the Native Americans of two of America's poorest counties, the Crow Creek and Pine Ridge reservations in South Dakota.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.com
