[Old School Hound]

OSH and VH, your knowledge of music in our lifetime is so awesome. I have only a couple of friends left on your level. Highest level of respect for you guys.

Love you, Jet.

As Mr Congreve wrote over 350 years ago ,"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breasts , to soften rocks , or bend the knotted oak. "  Unlike politics, which inflames and divides,  music is a healer and a uniter. Whereas politics is just outside noise , which triggers our insecurities and false bravado, music brings us back to who we really are. Our music is where we find our common ground, remember similar life experiences, and gain needed perspective. Every atom in our bodies, every fiber of our being, every synapse and neuron, benefits from the life-giving power of the music we love. 

This one's for you, Jet.  Probably no song takes me back to the late 70's more than this one, which was written by Neil Young, and sung by the astonishingly underrated, Nicollette Larson.  Nicolette was my biggest crush ever. Just loved everything about her. Voice, looks , countenance.  She was said to be one of the sweetest persons in the music business. Everyone adored her and wanted to work with her.  I wanted to marry her. LOL  Unfortunately, drummer, Russ Kunkel beat me to her. Sad that she died so young. RIP, Nic .

Nicolette has a daughter , Elsie Mae, that looks a lot like her mom. Many may remember her for her role in Caroline in the City.

I looked up the word "underrated" in the dictionary and there sat a picture of Joe Lynn Turner and Richie Blackmore and this song came blaring from my speakers. Powerful. Magical. I wanna go back to the 80's.  Jet , VH , is it just me or do these guys' sound remind you of FOREIGNER ?
