Absolutely, and that is the great “Blue Lou” Marini on Sax. I almost wrong the late great, but he is still alive at 78!

Some we missed:

**TV Dinners - ZZ Top**

Anyone remember the video on MTV? Reminds me of the good old days. I love that song, and most of their songs. Saw them live twice. And in the 90’s, I met Billy Gibbons at at country club in SA (I think I have his autograph too).

**Train, Train -Blackfoot**

Never got to see them. Great song. I don’t think there is a train song I don’t like.
