Does anyone outside of Baltimore know of this band? They had some good, catchy, rockin’ tunes… - Jinx

Starbuck (the Atlanta-based group, not the _Battlestar Galactica_ character :D) had hits with “Moonlight Feels Right” & “Everybody Be Dancing”. In 1983, they released a song called “The Full Cleveland”. AFAIK, it was never released on an album, only a single (Lowery Records LR-001, to be exact).

Also, no one seems to have heard Neil Young’s **Trans** or **Re-ac-tor**.

My sister thought I was nuts when I spoke of song titles like “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Shock The Monkey” and “Union of the Snake”…it’s a jungle out there!

Wasn’t Charlie a girl? Didn’t she play Leather or Pinky Tuscadaro on happy Days? Oh, no that’s was Suzy somebody…another one-hit wonder. I _wonder_ which one it was? I think it was the one about “Here comes te devil, will you look at him?..I heard about him, but I never dreamed he’d have blue eyes and blue jeans…” Was this her? If not, time to dig out the ole Ronco Records! 😃

**Urban Spaceman** - Bozno Dog Band  
**Listening House** - Lazarus  
**Mad Mad Me** - Wendy Waldman  
**I’ll Go and 'List for a Sailor** - Morris On
