All of the above, off of CSN.  I like Dark Star.


I meant actually playing the keyboards, not ID'ing the artist.

BOS LTD, featuring the great Jeffrey Osborne.

I'll give it a MCWOS (Most Car Wash Of Set).

I thought you might, but at least I got to point out my encyclopedic knowledge of CS&N albums.  Not.

Dave seriously needs to (a) get some new Elvis death tape, and (b) follow it with one of Elvis' actual, y'know, HITS from 1977. Bet "Way Down" would be a serious BOS contender.

Here's APP when they were good, but this entire LP is a Katrina at this point.

So far this set isn't a "feh" but it's def a "meh".

BOS Dave Mason, wish he'd had more output of this quality, I really like his songwriting.

Off topic, but anyway, Dave is your company hiring?  Recently networked with a guy who sounds like he could work in some capacity for a company like yours.

Posted my vote for PG's Solsbury Hill even tho it gets plenty of non-10@10 airplay.

And here's Heart--they do seem to be the band du jour.
Let's get right to it.

Ann & Nancy's ode to Baron Barracuda.  Pretty damn mainstream today, Dave.

Got my BOS anyway, and the second song with odd time signature stuff.

They have been, and I found out yesterday that one of our mechanical guys left the company.  Yesterday.  So we need someone like that.  Though I don't know if they're actually planning on refilling that position.

Further to my earlier response to this, it looks like they had a couple of keyboardists on this album, including Mike Finnigan and Joe Vitale as well as Stills and Nash.

I'm still thinking it's likely it was Doerge on that part. I recall him being pretty much an electric piano guy, whereas Finnigan is more an organist. And I don't think Stills or Nash have the chops to play that.
