I missed a couple because I was answering email before connecting to the stream.  Just sitting here with my headphones on, no sound coming out of them...

I REALLY need a vacation!

I'd heard for years that there was a looooooong version, but this was the first time I'd actually heard it.  I suppose I should give an HM to Rachmaninoff.

Meantime, "I'm takin' a dive!" = the second-most-inexplicable ELO non sequitur.

if only we could hear that Loudon Wainwright "Bicentennial" song in  its entirety. That LPs been out-of-print for decades.

OMG, JS "Cruisin'" BOS2 (#1 was Eric Carmen).

BOS to what has to be a breakout, the JS's "Cruisin'."

ditto, and we have definitely NEVER heard this in any 10@10 afaik, and I goes back a-ways.  Was this a single? Shoulda-been a hit, in any case.

I think the only singles from Spitfire were "With Your Love" and "St. Charles."  But I agree that this could have gotten some action, certainly more than 1978's "Crazy Feelin'."  Love how Grace breaks into bubbling laughter at a few points.  (She probably knew the other definition of "cruisin'.")
