Yeah, their follow up album "Recovering the Satellites" only made it to number one on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Only 6 of their 7 studio albums made the top 10 of Billboard Top 200 album chart. And the 7th peaked at 11. Sooooo Fvcking disappointing.

A bit crude. Next time try "major league yabos".
LOL. For the birthday celebrations for musicians, most of the time it's easy to pick a song (or two) to post. For others, it's hard to find one song. (@Woodpecker gave a shout out to Ronnie Wood in this thread. I didn't put a birthday celebration in for him, as I couldn't think of a song of his.)
For Curtis, I was so, so close to including "People Get Ready." Alas, I opted not to, but thanks for adding to the jukebox and to the information about Curtis.

The moves might not be as good but, if he landed Mrs. @fairgambit the moves were good enough.It would not surprise me if Mrs. Fair could really cut the rug when that song comes on. It would surprise me if @fairgambit was as good with the moves.
Yes. My wife is a terrific dancer and I ...am not. She was a cheerleader and gymnast in high school so that helped. I played trombone...badly.It would not surprise me if Mrs. Fair could really cut the rug when that song comes on. It would surprise me if @fairgambit was as good with the moves.
Still, we slow dance at weddings.
