2 March 2009 : 1975!

Nope, not on windows, Alt e opens the Edit drop down menu. 

But now I can just copy & paste yours, so that's good enough.

[mshray]

And now for something completely different: BOS for Bowie.  Definitely one of the most distinctive sax sounds in rock.  Who's playing that?

Sanborn

ETA: and that's Luther, among others, on the call & response.

[mshray]

BOS Ambrosia "Holdin' On To Yesterday".  Still one of my favorite songs of the 70's.

Sanborn

Ya beat me to it, but yes, David Sanborn. Luther had a pretty good career as a backing singer before his own thing took off. He's on a couple of Todd Rundgren albums from this time period, too.

And BOS to the Ambrosia tune--one you heard pretty much only on FM radio in '75. Or since.

Likewise Sanborn capped his session career with Young Americans, and later in '75 released his debut solo record to both acclaim & commercial success.  My roommate had the vinyl in college, listened to it often.

Another bos to Bron-Yr-Aur:



Proxy of Rod, before I forget.

[Davefish]

And an eternal BOS for "Bad Sneakers".

ETA:...which just started for me.  Is the stream THAT far behind?

ETAA: Or did I just completely miss the LZ tune?

[mshray]

gotta BOS the mighty Zep. "Bron-Yr-Aur" should really be a lot longer though.

and another for the Dan, Bad Sneakers. 

After this we veer away from album rock & back to the Top 40 to close out the set.

Made it back for Bad Sneakers, BOS # whatever.

Blowin it all sky high not at the top of my BOS list

[Gazoo]

Another BOS to "Sky High," or "Drama! At the Roller Rink!"

[Davefish]

Another BOS to "Sky High," or "Drama! At the Roller Rink!"

Jigsaw sure sounds like Eric Carmen to me.

now that you mention it...totally!

[urth]

One more BOS to Gloria Gaynor. Never can say goodbye, boy!

Why does Dave even consider playing the short versions of songs? I'd think in most cases he'd just play the long version as a matter of practice.

[Tinka Cat]

And now for something completely different: BOS for Bowie.  Definitely one of the most distinctive sax sounds in rock.  Who's playing that?

Sanborn

ETA: and that's Luther, among others, on the call & response.

not sure who you mean here, Luther Vandross? 

another notable backup singer in this set: in the Dan's "Bad Sneakers":   Michael "Yammo Be There" McDonald

Martin Luther -- he had a helluva falsetto.

last-minute meeting kept me away; I'll catch the replay tonite.
