Hi, Larry. Love this one! On his radio show, Randy Bachman used to do a theme “songs they wished they’d written”. That is songs loved by an artist that they didn’t write themselves. I would think this one falls into that category.

MsJazz graciously ceded me the living room when we moved into our house 27 years ago. Stereo Gear, LP's CD's...she hadn't anticipated that the software would continue to increase, make its way into other rooms, fill up every nook and cranny of the living room.

Yes, years before "Rutland Weekend Television" (before "Monty Python's Flying Circus", even), Neil Innes and the rest of the Bonzo Dog Band appeared in every episode of "Do Not Adjust Your Set" (featuring Eric Idle).
