25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago
With some fantastic guitar playing by Terry Kath. Not only the solo, but the counterpoint behind the vocals.
Too bad, he was inclined to play with guns, he was, IMO, one of the best guitarists of the era.
In My Room — Beach Boys
The words are definitely adolescent, but the song is sublime. The melody, harmony, counterpoint, and arrangement is delightful. IMO Brian's best work.
The people next door to us lived 'up north' and only came to Florida one month each year. The planned to retire there. We watched their house when they were gone.
My mom would get tired of me practicing saxophone and say, “Go next door and do that.”
