Regarding the "Grand Illusion", he said "come and see the show."  Does this pre-date (or post-date) ELP's "Karn Evil #9"?  (I know I could look this up myself...)

BOS3 Styx!!! Cheeze for your coffee break.  Nice segue from the Elvis-is-dead tape.


This is either (1) epic, (2) very overblown and pretentious, or (3) all of the above...

Yeah, add that to the list: Auspicious Debut Albums.

(Not Debug Albums, like I wrote first.)

BOS5 Big Barry.  This has been a "classic" worthy of the name.

you can tell it's an old set because there was a 3-way tie for BOS.  Whatever will Big Rick do this afternoon?

Nah. it's automatic.  It just occurred to me the brilliance of putting Elvis right after Styx.  He's really the anti-cheeze.

Except when it's on a PB&J&B sammich.

PS: BOS to Barry White, whatever it was (I assume "Ecstasy ...").

"Dancin' Man", fine Southern White Boy R&B.


I've described this song in the above way for years -- just assumed, really, that these guys were raised on Muscle Shoals-type soul. Turns out (per Whitburn) they're from... Beaver Falls, PA.  Two guys in the group were formerly of the Jaggerz! So Gaz take note. Dunno where they actually recorded the tune, tho'.
