RIP, Andrew Gold

I read that Michael McDonald is doing a show with Boz Scaggs in Southern Oregon over the summer.

I bought one of those 70's collections from Time-Life. It's pretty good and kind of amazing to listen to how much the music changed from 1970 to 1979, everything from the Grateful Dead to Donna Summer.

 

One of my favs from the 70's is "In the Heart of the Night" by Poco.

 

"Lido Shuffle" kicks all kinds of ass.

 

The Boz Scaggs song for me, which was on another album, was "Look What You've Done To Me."

One hell of a slow-dance song.

 

I have posted this here before, but this just drips of the great 1970s, and it just freaking rocks.

And that is the best band you could put together back then not called E Street.

 

Loved "Silk Degrees", one of my favorite LPs of all-time. "Lowdown" was/is great.

 

Look What You've Done To Me - from a David Foster thing on PBS from a year or so ago.

 

And there's so much stuff from the 1970s that didn't get played because of radio being segmented between AM, disco and hard rock. Stuff from Chilliwack, Nantucket, Michael Stanley Band, early REO, Suzi Quatro, hell, even early Segar ...you'd hear that stuff only on KSHE[/hicaptain]

 

Nantucket--that's awesome. brings back memories. And how about 'Movin On' bu Missouri? Or Zebra? Or Moxy.....

 

Sweetmeat and Ruth Hutchinson. Good times.

 

Seems an appropriate place for this:

 

This kicks all kinds of ass:
