5. Is that the double CD?

I have it - it's great. I like to play it in the morning on the way to work, to get pumped up for the day.

[DODI]

6. What is hip?

But, at this time I do feel it is appropriate to change horses in the middle of the stream.

14. Beat me to it, dammit.

[MnFats]

7. Can you find me "Cold Blood" with Lydia Pense?

another S.F. band late 60s, early 70s.
Tower of Power horns often sat in with them.
Lydia had one hell of a voice.

"Well, I feel so Baaaad, Feel like a ball game on a rainy day...."


that was hot.

some friends of mine made the classic post-graduation trek to California and got a tip on a big house outside of the city where the band was supposed to be living temporarily and recording. They went out there, couldn't get in, but found the band playing Frisbee on the lawn.....clothing-optional.

[BiggJawn]

10. I'll touch you IF I can hear...

"Ain't nothin' stoppin us now"

[Kat45]

11. I saw Tower of Power in a club in Boston in the early '70s

That was hip.

[Blue-Jay]

12. I do, I do!

In lieu of the whole touching thing, perhaps you could list the songs contained on that CD?

I'll still touch you. Just not in any way that a social worker could point to a rag doll and get me arrested.

[NightTrain]

[blondeatlast]

13. MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME! Over here!

God, how I absolutely LLLLLOOOOVVVVEEE ToP.

"You're Still a Young Man" still sends shivers up and down my spine. I loved the song before, then I met this terrific guy who was quite a few years younger than me (ahem, not yet 21 when we met).

Now we are happily hitched for almost 8 yrs.

The best, the BEST!

[Faygo Kid]
