Default Box set

After lusting after this item I finally broke down and bought the boxed set from 1999. And I love it!!

His Box Set came out in 1999? THAT long ago? Seems like just a couple of years ago! Oh well, time flies when you are getting old. Is that what Senior Member refers to?

Just like Deal & Liz, Box Set is a real "Gem".

It's so great and my son was so great to give it to me for XMas. He copied it onto his PC before heading back to campus.

When I first listened to it (and GGII -my cousin gave me), I came across several songs that were very familiar to me. I surprisingly new a few of the lyrics to them and found myself trying to sing along. It took me a few days before it hit me. The memories came flooding back - to the early 80's!

Cherokee Bend, Seven Island Suite, Ghosts of Cape Horn -I had 1st become familiar with from a duet (Two For the Show) who used to perform these songs at a downtown pub. In fact 'Ghosts' was the 'house song' at Tilly's pub.

One of the guys from the duet became a good friend -I ended up taking guitar lessons from him and we dated a little. Geez, it's been so many years since I've thought of him and listening those songs from Songbook brought it all back. Probably it's been at least 2 decades since I heard these songs.

There were so many good songs on Songbook that quickly became favorites of mine. Amazing how little we know of an artist.

No. Senior Member refers to how many times you have posted on this site.

Wonderful for you GJA! I was somewhat hesitant when deciding if I wanted to buy a box set of an artist that I only knew "the hits" of.

Like you,I went bonkers forthe msuic and played it constantly for over a month.

(Kind of gettin' even for all KISS & Elvis my brother had played around me!)
