If you think that the stuff that is mentioned here is bad and admittedly it is then you should hear some of the christmas dreck played at country radio. It would make some of the stuff mentioned here seem like high art in comparison. BTW I'm in the distinct minority in that I like some of the Aaron Neville christmas stuff but a lot of the Christmas and non Christmas music he has done in the last few years just don't make it.

Farrago's and the Alley House Grille in Pagosa Springs. Owned by the same people and I have yet to have a bad meal there and right now I doubt that I ever will.
I always like the way the vibes sounded. Have you ever checked out the Arista All Stars Montreux recordings? Their approach sounds similar to how you're describing Steps Ahead. I'll have to check out their recordings sometime.
Hey, if you want rage in a red sport coat, have I got the guy for you!
Of course, Mr. Knight's second-preferred sport is bowling-for-referees:
If I had to wear coat like that I'd be in a rage too.
