Richard Evans is the man playing the astonishing bass line on King Floyd's "Groovy Situation." It's one of my favorites of all time. Please play that.

Crazy to think that Evans worked with Woddy Herman, Gang Starr and Sun Ra. Hi Georgia!

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...this arrangement 'Hush' is all that ! ( - a formative tune for me due to Deep Purple 45)...

A Mookie Strawberry shake should come with 18 chicken McNuggets and 1 order of fries.

JakeGould:

Dale, there is no cheese. No guilty pleasures. NONE!
  6:30pm
Mark Ohe:

Hold on now! Gang Starr was a sample? Then I take back my comment, and will modify it to: Amazing that Evans worked with "Bob."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm

There is cheese! But no, there should be no guilty musical pleasures.

My goodness Wally Cox is versatile! If I didn't trust Ira & James so implicitly I would never believe this is the same dude who voiced "Underdog".

Thanks, Ira! Tough to do justice to Gaylord's slot, but you met that challenge handily (with aplomb even) today.
