I remember being very careful to look busy and studiously engage in conversation during "17" - it was "not a good look" for a girl to be singing wistfully to "17" during the slow sets!! ;) Did Cecil play "Bright Lights and Promises" once or twice?

And here's a bftp..."Old and Wise" - Alan Parsons Project - I'm convinced Cecil played that in early 80's - can anyone confirm?

Has anyone mentioned "The River" yet? I'm not a huge Springsteen fan but I've never tired of hearing that song

 
Cheers

Marie

TMarie - I think Mel mentioned Cecil playing
"The Factory" by Springsteen. I can definitely
remember him playing "The River" -- the opening
strains of harmonica and it often was one of the
first in a slow set.

I'm not sure on the Alan Parsons track but I don't
think your the first to mention it so it may well
have been played.

Good God - You're right. I went onto iTunes to preview
"Old and Wise". Absolutely was played during slow sets
at least for a while while I went (1981-84). I didn't
know it was Alan Parsons. It's a real smoochy

Hi tmarie, yeah, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure he played Old and Wise alright.

I knew it! :) When I discovered Napster in 2000 it was one of the first tracks I downloaded - sounded too evocative not to have been played at the Grove - Eye in the Sky was another of their's but I think Cecil favoured Old & Wise...

Yeah Cecil used to play Old and Wise a lot in the early 80's.....Loved it so much I ended up buying The Greatest Hits of Alan Parsons for it....can't really comment on the rest of the collection...other than to say....don't waste your mullah!!!
Still Rock'in after all these years......

Yeah...but I did...heheh..and there's at least one in the collection...the one that has the track that begins something like..."as far as my eyes can see....blah blah blah.." can't remember the rest...
