    Hi Diana.

    That is weird? Although I don't believe in coincidence. The God(s) of Fate were taunting us?

    Isn't that the greatest album, (EVER)?

    My favourite is the "B" side. Way ahead of its time.

    I haven't heard it in SOOOO long, but I agree it was ahead of its time. I remember he song, 21st-Century Schizoid Man, and some instrumental stuff pretty far out there. Kind of reminds me of the band, Traffic, in that there are elements of jazz and both so unique. Also I love Greg Lake's (I think that's his name, from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) voice. Smile



    PINK FLOYD (1973)

    Dark Side of the Moon, (one of the ultimate classics)

    I THOUGHT I SHOULD FIND IT BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES. MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD.

    I thought about Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album, but I couldn't pick a song—the whole thing is so awesome. There really is no band like Pink Floyd. 

    Here is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, Comfortably Numb. This clip is from the tour I saw in the mid 90s (the sheer size of their props and lights was amazing; check out the pod opening at 8:00):

    I agree Pink Floyd is good, (but), I still prefer Genesis. Although I have always had the theory that if you listen to Genesis their music are almost like Mantras. You could, (literally), Meditate to some of it, (and I have). Supper's Ready is the perfect example, (not that I am prejudice).

    STEVE HACKET

    Supper's Ready.

    As a devout Genesis fan I am amazed just how good it is.

    TRAFFIC (1968)

    John Barleycorn Must Die.

    Probably their best album, (ever)?

    QUEEN (1984)

    I WANT TO BREAK  FREE.

    I dislike Queen, and it is one of my least favourite rock groups, (however), I will forgive them because of this song.

    It is the only QUEEN song I like. They can scrap the rest.

    Skydoggone It

    Where Duane reached the end of the line,


    Original version -- the recently-remastered one puts Duane's soloing in the background and fronts the horns, keys, & (naturally) Boz' vocals and rhythm guitar. This is one of those subtle distortions you can quietly perpetrate when you're the guitarist who managed to outlive the better guitarist on the track!
    On this tune, the band began to wrap up approaching the 5-minute mark, but fortunately for posterity, the producer signaled them to soldier on. Duane, who was a mere 21 or 22, still had his Strat-necked Tele.

    Boz, Skydog, The Duke of Earl, & Lady (Almost-Duchess) Ottoline

    [Image: 18the+lady-+Lady+Ottoline+Morrell+lido+venecia.jpg]
    Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873-1938; née Lady Cavendish-Bentinck of The Dukes of Portland, half-sister of 6th Duke of Portland, noted British patroness of the arts) aquatically disporting herself along the Lido, Venice, Italy -- August, 1908.


    William Royce "Boz" Scaggs is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He became prominent for his series of albums in the late 1970s, and songs "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown" from Silk Degrees (1976), which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Scaggs continues to write, record music, and tour.


    Gene Chandler (b. 1937; American singer, songwriter, music producer, and record-label executive) disporting himself in some grotto-like soundstage somewhere in America.
    The song  “Duke of Earl” started as a vocal exercise by The Dukays, a group from Chicago that included singers Eugene Dixon and Earl Edwards, both of whom already had some success on the R&B chart.  Other group members were James Lowe, Shirley Jones, and Ben Broyles. They  would warm up by singing "Do do do do..." in different keys. On one occasion, Dixon changed the syllables he was singing to include Earl's name, and the chant gradually became the words "Du..du..du..Duke of Earl." The pair worked on the song with songwriter and mentor Bernice William and then recorded it with the other members of The Dukays. The record was never released, but Dixon decided to go solo with it.  Dixon changed his name to Gene Chandler.  The solo version, which was released late in 1961, rose quickly to #1 on both the pop and R&B charts in 1962. Chandler continues to tour and perform.

    This song was re-popularized when Sha Na Na (a cabaret-style '50s-nostalgia group fresh from Columbia University, NYC, which had formed around its original nucleus, The Lamés -- as in, of course, the gold-lamé outfits so characteristic of Las Vegas-style doo-wop couture) first boggled the minds -- and then won over -- the young audience at a certain music festival held in upstate New York in 1969. Sha Na Na went from this debut to having multiple hit albums and their own TV show by the early '70s.
