Dang me, that some good shit!  And the Lou Gramm is not in the Db either.  "Breakout", "Heart and Soul" and "Midnight Blue" are all sledgehammers for me, 1987 was a fun-filled year.

Kudos on the Neicy...

D. Williams married Brian Westering, whose brother Scott lived across the hall from me my freshman year at Pacific Lutheran Univ.  The brothers were both NAIA All-Americans in football (we won the nat'l crown that year) and their dad was the coach. White folks of course.  Later when the dad, Frosty Westering, retired, he was something like 4th on the all-time coaching wins list across all divisions of college football. And iirc, Brian succeeded him as coach.  Which would mean Neicy has been living in Tacoma for a long time now.
