The latter is Seger, yes?  I'd never heard it before.  Kinda nice, like he's vamping over "Carouselambra."  A different side of him.

Did I completely butcher the Led Zep song title?  Or was I thinking of the wrong song?

And what Stones cover did I miss while I was on the phone?

wow, another little-played song from the 2nd Boston LP. Sounding much like three songs from the first one thrown into a blender.

"Just My Imagination". I don't know what Zep song you were referencing... I thought you were talking Rodgers & Hammerstein!
