OMG! Cat Stevens, "Remember the Days of the Old Schoolyard" -- haven't heard this in ages. BOS and kudos to Bob for digging it out.

Deep Tracks plays it now and again.

And no WOS to Buffett; this is a better one that his novelty stuff.

It's a funk reference, like Stevie Wonder getting Theo to record "Jammin' on the One" on the Cosby Show.

BOS: the parsimonious purveyor of pantyhose!  Who undoubtedly made loving fun at some point before the gin blossom took over.

HM to Bob Welch's "Ebony Eyes," which is better than Stevie Wonder's "Ebony Eyes" but not as good as Rick James & Smokey Robinson's "Ebony Eyes."

And I betcha didn't know that.

VHM the F.Mac-into-Bob Welch segue, a staple of 1977 FM radio.

I do wonder why it was such a big deal that Erasure simplified the time signature from 7|8 to 8|8 when covering this song in 2003.

That Cat track was not at all a rarity on the radio I listened to.

I've said this before, but after many listens, I think "Margaritaville" is actually the weakest track on Changes in Latitudes..., wish you guys could hear "Biloxi" someday.

Dude, if Cameron Crowe became a soundtrack consultant, I'd be all over it.  He'd be perfect for Rhino.

On the other hand, maybe this is a niche I can fill someday ...
