Damn, I missed Sly and the Night Tripper.  Co-BOS votes to them, and to the current Tower of Power loveliness, though that stero channel weirdness makes this sound like a demo version of the track.

Not only that, you just dropped Rick Wakeman's name. I believe he was a Strawb before joining Yes.

ETA: Oops--that was Rod that mentioned the Caped Crusader of Keyboards.


Was he?  I second Rod's comment. Wakeman's solo stuff is dee-LITE-fully fol-de-rolly. "6 Wives of Henry VII" and my personal fave "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

Yawn, WOS to Elton as he gets a belly full of ... beer.  Not a bad track, but through oversaturation it's become one of my least favorites from GYBR.

He was in a lot more than that:

Born in Perivale, Middlesex, England, Rick Wakeman's interest in music manifested itself very early, and from the age of seven on he studied classical piano. At the age of 14, he joined a local band, Atlantic Blues, the same year he left school to enroll in the Royal College of Music. He had his eye on a career as a concert pianist, but Wakeman was dismissed from the college after it became clear that he preferred playing in clubs to studying technique.

By his late teens, he was an established session man, playing on records by such diverse acts as Black Sabbath, Brotherhood of Man, and Edison Lighthouse. At the end of the '60s, his name also began appearing on the credits of albums by such artists as Al Stewart and David Bowie, and one set of sessions with a folk-rock band called the Strawbs led to his joining the group in 1970. After two albums with the Strawbs, Wakeman joined Yes, a post-psychedelic hard rock band that had attracted considerable attention with their first three albums. Wakeman played a key role in the final shape of the group's fourth record, Fragile, creating a fierce, swirling sound on an array of electric and acoustic pianos, synthesizers, and Mellotrons. Fragile was a hit, driven by the chart success of the single "Roundabout," and Wakeman was suddenly elevated to star status.

BOS J. Geils.

Probably a proxy for Rod if he's off to dental land already.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins actually did a song called "Constipation Blues."  I have it, if anyone needs an MP3 later.

Hope Rod's enjoying the J. Geils.  I'll give it HM, never noticed how fine that (Wurlitzer?) organ solo is.

Ooh!  BOS4 to Rev. Al's "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," which I admit I'd never heard before UB40's hit cover version.

(Damn!  Foiled!)

ETA: Seguing to "Stuck ..." is pure meta-genius on Dave's part.
