I'll use the same line I used when we heard this in a '77 set last week:

"Ain't this song a bust?" Er, well, Stephen, in a word... "meh".

Think it was Craig Doerge, who was a big LA session guy around then. Also played in The Section, with Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Danny Kortchmar.

Dave seriously needs to (a) get some new Elvis death tape, and (b) follow it with one of Elvis' actual, y'know, HITS from 1977. Bet "Way Down" would be a serious BOS contender.

Here's APP when they were good, but this entire LP is a Katrina at this point.

So far this set isn't a "feh" but it's def a "meh".

Off topic, but anyway, Dave is your company hiring?  Recently networked with a guy who sounds like he could work in some capacity for a company like yours.

Posted my vote for PG's Solsbury Hill even tho it gets plenty of non-10@10 airplay.

And here's Heart--they do seem to be the band du jour.

They have been, and I found out yesterday that one of our mechanical guys left the company.  Yesterday.  So we need someone like that.  Though I don't know if they're actually planning on refilling that position.

Further to my earlier response to this, it looks like they had a couple of keyboardists on this album, including Mike Finnigan and Joe Vitale as well as Stills and Nash.

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3iftxqe5ldfe~T2

I'm still thinking it's likely it was Doerge on that part. I recall him being pretty much an electric piano guy, whereas Finnigan is more an organist. And I don't think Stills or Nash have the chops to play that.

It was a serial (filmed in 5-min segments) that ran on local kiddie shows. Diver Dan was an actor in a Diver's suit, filmed to look as if he were underwater (he really wasn't) and he interacted with puppet undersea creatures.

I do. He was on one of the local stations in Sacramento. But I never knew he was syndicated--I always thought it was just a local show.

We also had Captain Sacto, who was a jet pilot and "flew in" every day to host the show, and Cap'n Delta (later renamed Cap'n Mitch when he jumped to a different station), who was a river boat captain. I was on Cap'n Delta's show when I was about 6 or 7, and brought home a load of candy and toys and Wonder bread.

I remember Captain Satellite on Ch 2 round here.  I visited that set when I was a kid, and remember that the stars were a bunch of christmas lights behind a see through black curtain.

I found this page: http://www.tvparty.com/lostSF.html

What I had forgotten about was the Charley and Humphrey show.  Pure kid-show genius!
