From: I Sing the Body Electric ; Year: 1972; Genre: Jazz Fusion For some reason I had this record on my mind this morning and, as I always do, took it as a sign I needed to choose another song from it. This song has a very middle eastern flare/feel to it, (as you could probably tell by the title), with a mix of jazz fusion, which makes it very unique sounding. Hear The Moors on YouTube.

From: Enlightened  Rogues ; Year: 1979; Genre: Southern Rock/Blues Rock I was watching television the other day and happened upon a program that featured this album; sure brought back some memories. Originally I got an old stereo 8-Track tape of Enlightened Rogues and listened to it a lot back in the day. I still have it somewhere but with 30 years and 4 major moves I've kind of lost it; now I've been listening to it again and I forgot how much I liked it. Anyway, this was, I believe the last track on the tape and was part of my main "path" through the 4 tracks; it's one of my favourites on the album for sure. Hear Sail Away on YouTube.

From: Five Bridges ; Year: 1970; Genre: Progressive Rock This is a great little eccentric piece which blends a Bob Dylan song with a piece from J.S. Bach, which works really well I have to say.
