Dave's on Poseidon Adv. kick-- Yahoo IM logon sez "I tell you...something happened!! Belle would have signaled!"

Wonder if we'll hear "The Morning After"?

It's the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, IIRC.

BOS from me as well.  If only for those crash-this-thing-into-all-the-walls drums.

I hope Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds remake "The Morning After."

Second Lighthouse entry this week after the sublime "One Fine Morning" showed up in Monday's brasstravaganza.  Unfortunately, I hate "Sunny Days."

indeed, their body of work that never gets played is fab.  "Homburg" is a personal fave.

nobody hates "Sunny days"! Unless they're wearing crankypants.

Are Rupert W and Ben Folds an item? or are they just... touring together?

Yay! "put your WOS where you want it", Gaz.  Another fab track only a curmudgeon could dislike. :wink:

BOS1 to the Crusaders, althought I got a sneaky feeling we heard this the last time in 72, whenever that was (I'm working at home and the calendar I keep track of this stuff on is at work.)

No crankpants today.  I got nothing but love.  I just think those lyrics were WAY too lazy: "it was four in the afternoon when I wrote this tune" -- dude, we don't know you, so don't get all meta on us.

Meantime, I can't put this song where I want it.

And I've never heard that Ben plays for our team; I assume they're just tourmates.  Still, that song would feed both Ben's eccentricity and Rufus's dramaturgic muse.

Semi-jinx.  If the song were 1:15 it'd be grand.  But it repeats itself without going anywhere, making it the Boston Rotary of instrumentals.

I once taped a 1972 set that had both "Conquistador" and "Put It."  If we get the Hollies' "Long Way Home" and English Congregation's "Softly Whispering" later, then Dave's been recycling.
