Hello all...no please, remain seated.

Interesting mix...will download tonight after work.

You know...I only found out, like a few months ago, that Without You was a Badfinger song. Never owned a Badfinger album, but loved their radio hits. Have to say...Nilsson really nailed this one by slowing it down and drawing out his phrasing on the chorus. IMO, this is a classic, classic case of a how to re-work a song. One of the truly great covers of the rock era.

"'Cause I love every track" is the best possible theme for a mix!

Funny, I was playing "To Sir with Love" earlier this week -- not the Lulu original but Al Greene's killer cover. Great minds and all that!

Have a great weekend Sal.

I love the Reverend Al's "To Sir With Love." Is he singing to his dad of his Father? Either way, it's very cool.

My theme is "Awesome songs I love that sound great together on this summer Friday". Great song of the day too. Thanks!

I bought what I think was Thurman's only album, "Lux," because of the song in this mix. A friend had suggested it to me years ago at the shop, saying it was right in my glammy wheelhouse. Not bad, but nothing as good as "English Tea." I don't even have the CD anymore.
