two fine years in a row from Bob!  and a Summer Breeze rolls in (and this was indeed a hit in Nov/Dec of '72).

Honky!  Great horn arrangement.

I remember hearing "Heart of Gold" on the radio and thinking, OMG! They're gonna dance to Neil Young on American Bandstand! And indeed they did.  BOS1.

BOS just for the novelty (and because I woke up too late for the jasmine in my MIIIIND).  Love the drumming on this.

This is nearly a Narada for me, oddly -- I don't recall it getting any FM prog play in NYC, tho' it's clearly a "classic" in the Midwest.

wow, a GazWOS twin-spin: GFR into the Iggles.

Hoo Lawd! it's the 3rd of Sept on the 20th of Nov!

BTW, Gaz -- this week's CG retro-countdown is from late '72 when this tune was #1 in the UK. A must-listen -- I'll be catching it after Dave's set today.

Surprised to hear.  A staple in Pittsburgh.

I'll catch it tomorrow when I'm off.  Yesterday was a long day (hence my odd hours of posting) and I have to go back in in an hour.  We're cramming three days of work into two, basically.

One of the many things I love about "Papa" is when they repeat the refrain a second time and clap on the off-beats.
