"Life In The Fast Lane" - Eagles

I've started investing in stocks: Beef, chicken, and vegetable... One day I hope to be a bouillonaire.

Pure Getz - The Stan Getz Quartet (full album) Nice cool school and straight-ahead jazz album

lyrics: Damn this traffic jam... Traffic Jam - James Taylor

Agreed. But it's got some atmosphere.

Exodus To Jazz - Eddie Harris

"Killer Joe" - Benny Golson A jazz standard penned by Mr. Golson And Mr. Dalto's take on it And with some vocals by Manhattan Transfer

"Don't Go To Strangers" - Amy Winehouse & Paul Weller Amy was one talented lady.

I played in a band with a guitarist named Jose. We called him "Hose". I wondered if we replaced him if the new guitarist would be "Hose B". True story.

I bought a used flute, a fingering chart, had a girl fan who played the flute teach me the embouchure, and I taught myself the rest. Thanks to Ian I am now a flute player along with sax, wind synth, bass, guitar, keyboard synth, drums and voice. Insights and incites by Notes

I wonder if Abrahams regretted leaving Tull after Tull got famous and very profitible. I have a B-Big album or two somewhere in my LP collection. My favorite Tull albums are the earlier ones: This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, and War Child. Then for no particular reason I drifted away. I've enjoyed a lot what I've heard in later offerings, but never purchased another LP. I don't know why, perhaps it was just time for me to move on. Notes

Strange Brew - Cream

I do appreciate their music. One of my faves - "My God" because of the flute solo

Highway Star - Deep Purple I was driving my car today, and my minivan is no highway star by any stretch of the imagination, but if I ever get to gig again, it'll carry my PA and instruments, and for a couple of hours while I'm on stage, I'll be a star (a very minor star, but a star none the less). ???

Call Me - Eliane Elias Not the original, but a very nice version by a talented pianist/singer.

Cat puns freak meowt. Seriously, I'm not kitten.

Pi r round

The Righteous & The Wicked - Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics: The killing fist of the human beast P.O.P., prodigies of peace Hear me when I'm calling you From my knees

"Lotus Flower" - Radiohead

I resemble that remark!

Little Sunflower - Freddie Hubbard I used to play this tune when I was in a jazz band. I quit the jazz band because of supply and demand. There wasn't enough demand to make both the mortgage payments and eat, so I went back to playing commercial music.

"Song For My Father" - Horace Silver The bass line from this song inspired Steely Dan's "Ricky Don't Lose That Number".

True sound man story. Back when we were warming up for major acts, we covered a song by The Coasters. I played sax and at one point the band stopped, I was to sing in a bass voice (or as close as I could get), "You better leave my daughter alone." It was my only vocal line in the song. Every time my vocal mic was off. He never got it right. I learned to lean over and sing the line into the sax mic. Funny now, but it wasn't so funny then.
