C>Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass -- Whipped Cream And Other Delights (196?
 C>A&M) There are still songs on this that I enjoy.
 SD> That's not PROG, man.
First DD and now this.  I'm going to have to put you on probation for 6 
months.  You can only discuss ELP, KC, Genesis and Yes during this time.
C>No, but it's one of my favorite albums.  Really.
Counseling would be a good idea, too.  I still listen to "Wichita Lineman" 
from time to time, but I don't generally admit it publicly.
 C>man, this is the original LP!
 SD> Cool cover, too.  Love those fucking lizards.
C>Yep.  Side 1 of that album is absolutely killer.
Too bad Wood and Jeffy couldn't stick it out.  I think Roy woulda kept ELO 
from getting so maudlin and Jeffy woulda kept Roy in the proggier regions a 
bit longer, before his underlying problem (wanting to be a 50's rocker) took 
over.
I figured that the only single I'd see in
C>America from The Move would be "Do Ya."
I dunno.  The top 40 hit was ELO, I think.  Or did we go through  that 
discussion once already?
Speaking of The Move, it just dawned on me that the lead singer on _Shazam_ 
is (duh) not Roy Wood.  That's Carl Wayne, innit?  I'm not sure why it took 
me most of 2 decades to get that one.
C>America/What really gets me about this song is the intriguing playing of 
Howe
C>and Bruford.  Listen to just them and you'll notice that on this song,
C>maybe more than most Yes songs, they are really working together.  Then
C>there's that freakin' blow-your-brain-out bass work at the end by
C>Squire.  This song really is a perfect example of Yes at their best.
Except that, according to someone on RMP, Uncle Ricky refused to play on the 
song (shades of Bev and Roy).
 C>Traffic -- Traffic (1968, Island) 
C>Well, I'm not really excited about it.  I listened to the first few
C>songs and kind of gave up.  I'll get through thr whole thing eventually.
C>It's certainly not in the same vein as _Mr. Fantasy_ or _John
C>Barleycorn_.
Seemed kinda dull to me.  A transitional album, perhaps, since the 2 albums 
you listed are pretty different.
SD> Stuart
 SD> NP:  Caravan "In the Land of Grey and Pink"
C>Ah, I didn't know you had that.  That song is one of my favorite of
C>theirs.
I think I own the LP, but that song is on the Rhino thing.
Stuart
NP:  _Song X_ Metheny & Coleman
