Just had a hankering to load up a few Allan Holdsworth albums and let them shuffle play. His music's not for everyone, but it has its own elegant structure, internal logic and beauty if that's your thing.

Thanks to a retweet from Talking Pictures TV, I have just listened to this for the first time, and I love it!

I remember buying this on cassette when it first came out - 87? 88?

They're a Zimbabwe band and I was in Zimbabwe in 87 and 88 so I figured it was around then.

My favourite Harry Chapin song. It's ten minutes long but well worth the listen. He played this concert in 1981 shortly before his tragic road accident.

Harry received the an American Congressional Medal for his tireless work towards ending World hunger.

An early ZZ TOP track. Not my favourite band, but I like this.

Good choice ... I hadn't heard this before.

Now being the level of dancer I am I'm a bit loathe to criticise but NS dance floors always struck me as resembling failed line dancing classes.

I'm sure that's correct much the same as TGG .... As I said being challenged I don't set out to be critical here but one group of people sort of dancing together mixed up with three hundred other groups and 50 more dancing on their own next to four couples can't be described in very many ways.

Great  track though .... er NS was it the music or the the dancing?

For me whatever, where ever, when ever it was/is always the music.But even my two left feet and wobbly arms and extinct sense of balance thank your for that track!
