Default Service 1975 to 1978

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greetin...ry_Park%2C_N.J. has my favorite single album side (the second side) - Springsteen's Greetings from Asbury Park The album was released in '73 but I discovered it when Johny K Howell from North Carolina turned me onto it in Germany around later 75, early 76. The songs are "The Angel", "For You", "Spirit in the Night" and "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City".

For the party, we'll stick with Springsteen - Spirit in the Night I'd heard that one a couple of times in the States, came to love it on this album side.

Black Water - Doobie Brothers

Hotel California - Eagles

Miss You- The Rolling Stones

Feel Like Makin' Love - Bad Company

Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker Band

Time for Strawberry Letter 23 - the Brothers Johnson

The lyrics are incredible with the melody, and a great funky base:

Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too

All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden - I see west
Purple shower, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green

Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
if you try to ask
Is it cool?, is it cool?

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea

Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight

A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

"Baby, I Love Your Way" Frampton From Frampton Comes Alive - saw him on tour in Germany...I'd like to do "Do You Feel Like We Do?" but at 15 minutes or so, a bit long for the party. By the way, Gary Wright opened this show with "Dreamweaver"

Two songs for a short-timer:

"Baker Street" (1978), by Gerry Rafferty

Leonard Skynard, Free Bird
