well I couldn't find any confirmation that Steve Walsh played harpsichord on COMWS (credits are simply 'keyboards') but I was reminded of the infamous cover of his first solo album.  AMG's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says this very well could be the greatest album cover in rock history.



"There are no less than four illustrations of Walsh, all shirtless and in running shorts, with the point of focus being an image of Walsh in sunglasses towering over a stadium and pointing two guns at the viewer (thankfully, he's being safe and wearing ear protection); above it is a glamorous head shot silhouetted by a mountain range, with his hair looking appropriately wind-swept; to the right is a shot of him singing and to the left, he's engaged in an indiscernible athletic activity. It's a portrait of an id raging out of control — it's the Dirk Diggler album brought to life! — and that's the sound of the record."

I just remembered, COMWS is another one for the Harpsichord list.

not sure about that. Sound like ∏-anna to me. .

is that pronounced "Pie-anna"?

there's new upscale pizza joint in my 'hood called ∏

Excellent name, considering the food itself is served in circular form.

nothing wrong w this set of well-worn classic rock (and Disco), although it feels like a page ripped directly from the playlist of The Band, 103.7.  Then again, nothing exceptionally surprising either.

Silver, Blue and Gold was a law firm, no?

OMG, awesome!  he seems like a well rounded guy w many talents..  If anyone can shred* on a harpsichord wearing no shirt, aviator shades and running shorts from the 70s, it would be him.  

* Of course, you cannot "shred" a harpsichord in the same way you can shred, say, an axe.  No matter how hard you hit the keys, the h'chord will not sound louder.  There is no correlation b/w force used on the keys and volume produced.  This is b/c the strings are plucked and not hammered.

Looks like something that was sketched by a high school art student, particularly with the rah-rah lettering.

Not my favorite AC/DC, but to hear 'em anyway.  Did Dave ever play them?
