17 November 2009: it's 1977

[urth]

From his remarks closing the morning show, it sounds like Webster graduated HS in whatever year we're visiting today.

ETA: Did she say what year this was? Although it's sounding like '77 here, which means Webster is my age. Rod's too, iirc.

yup. '77 sounds about right for that scenario.  Crapton, Marcy & Whinyface kick it off

ETA: Webster talked about turning 50 earlier this year, iirc.

Well, Star Wars was 1977, so I'm assuming that's where we are.  And I really like "The Core", so no Clapton complaints from me.  Zero does a great version of this too.

yay! The Core gets BOS

yay! The Core gets BOS

Me too.  My favorite guitar riff, bar none.

[Gazoo]

Speaking of lengthy instrumentals, I'd forgotten that "The Core" meanders on so.

if it's yellow, let it mellow.....if it's brown, flush it down.
Sorry.

BOS Tarney-Spencer Sanford-Townsend Band, Smoke From a Distant Fire.

Iirc, Dave played this a time or two, but def. in the rarity column.

ETA: OK, Sanford-Townsend, Tarney-Spencer, all those hyphenated bands sound alike anyway.

I believe that's the Sanford Townshend Band you're thinking of.  (I had to look it up, but I knew that didn't sound right.)
