Where's Geoff?  Who played that bass solo intro for Steve Miller?

BOS2 Steve Miller, "The Window", one you rarely hear.

H&O "Rich Girl", another hardly rare one.

Jane Curtin flashes her boobs on SNL --> "Crazy on You"

been catching up on YouTube some of the SNL 40 special.   IMHO Jane Curtin is still vastly underrated.

Yes I agree, she was always one of my favorites.
Now I'm eight bits...

Per Wikipedia, it was Charles Calamise. Not a name I know.

One of my fave tracks from FLAE, though.

Indeed. Not sure I've ever heard it, but I like it. Some of the instrumentation sounds a little Zappa, except he'd play it twice as fast. The song itself sounds a lot like "Abracadabra"; a little foreshadowing...

NASA's "new" Space Shuttle --> "Show Some Emotion". or "Love and Affection". or whatever it's called. Always a BOS(3) for Ms Armatrading.

She was always my second to least favorite, beaten out only by Laraine Newman. Now, Gilda Radner...a top choice.

Haven't heard this in *ages.* This song always puts me in mind of Al Stewart. IIRC, they were released around the same time.

Great tune. I heard "Show Some Emotion" just a couple days ago, which is my favorite tune by her.

BOS2 Steve Miller, "The Window", one you rarely hear.

I made this point several years ago, that the Fly Like an Eagle & Book of Dreams sessions were all recorded in one shot, and that there was significant mgmt pressure to release a double album.   This may well have been the best double album ever, or at least a close second to the White Album, and if they knew what Frampton Comes Alive would do for the double album concept that same year it's probably the worst decision those label guys ever made.

OMG new BOS vote for the Man In Black!

For a sec, I thought we were hearing I've Been Everywhere, which as much as Johnny is revered as a legend, I think we've heard plenty (possibly because it's been used in a few ads). This is a much preferable option.

"Look For the Union Label" -->Nick Lowe "So it Goes". BOS5

A few overly-familiar tracks aside, this was quite enjoyable.

Love it!

I Didn't Know That
