BOS Bruce, "The River". I remember seeing him doing this at the "No Nukes" concert in NYC a year before the album came out.

The Blues Brothers are doing more of a J. Geils impersonation here than anything else.

And now it's the APP with "Games People Play," which single-handedly gave Yes enough ideas to keep them soldiering on for another decade.

BOS2 to Yoko's wishing bell on the top of "Starting Over."  Never gets old for me.  Was just up walking by the Dakota last week.

I had ABC friends who lived around the corner (73rd & Columbus). They're in Jersey now. Since we worked at 63rd & B'way, I spent lots of time in that 'hood in the '80s, just as it was being gentrified.

What does ABC mean in this context?  In my Sino-centric environment it means "American-born Chinese".
