LOL!  Did I tell you this story?  Early '80s, I worked with a woman who had waittressed at the Lone Star Cafe, a famous NYC club that was a music-industry hotspot. She waited on Linda one nite and swore that Ms. R. hit on her.  


what a missed opportunity! :)

My sentiments exactly. On both. Wish I'd tuned in sooner. And I'd love to have heard just about any of the tunes in the cheeze medley.

BOSx+1 Bare Trees.
Let's get right to it.

from bassplayer.com:

"On the bottom, Curtis benefited from the loose, probing, persistent lines of the late Joseph “Lucky” Scott, a Chicago bassist whose other recording credits included Aretha Franklin and Natalie Cole, and whose own songs (such as the R&B standard “Never Let Me Go”) have been covered by everyone from the Impressions and Bobby “Blue” Bland to Van Morrison and Luther Vandross. Scott’s most famous sub-hook is the minor-3rd-leaning riff of “Freddie’s Dead”—but a great bass line that captures the offbeat syncopation of Mayfield’s pioneering psychedelic funk brew is “Pusherman,” from the same Superfly soundtrack album"
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Indeed, she covered this one too. "Many Carpets to Munch?"

I like that, BOS infinity.  Yay Jimmy Cliff.  Although my kids would say BOS a google-plex.
