Yet another amazing find on Southern Star records, I had never even heard of this label before but somehow they keep popping up in different places, and both were really great, this particular piece is superior to Ron Anderson probably, not as strong lyrically or songwriting but I enjoy the modal jazz funk rhodes workouts on here immensely. Along the lines of an Austin Jazz funk version of Aposento Alto, or maybe more like the infamous FABLE records out of Austin, with the likes of 47 times its own weight, starcrost, and steamheat. Its definitely in that genre anyway, the southern jazz funk dash of latin dash of prog lots of ELECTRIC KEYS and vocals, cool breezey late 70s AOR boat shoes type vocals, but anyway I was amazed to see that I couldn't find this anywhere on the blogdom yet, I didn't look long but I don't think its available anyway, so here is another first for you guys. Enjoy. (lots more finds of late, many many goodies, look for an ebay auction soon...)

Hey
How can I download an mp3 version I tried dbl clicking the button & still got rar...can't find this anywhere pls let me know.
I'm originally from NW La. & used to listen to them @ Humphries in the Square back in the late 70's early 80's. I had the album when it first came out...
My suggestion to you. Download winrar for free, just google that word, and then download this .rar and unzip it with winrar and it will give you a bunch of mp3s from the album. that is the only solution, and pretty easy too!
transpacjackson .....AAAHHHHH
Just to hear this again did my heart good. I am dancing around my house. You made my day!!! Buddy & Bruce what memories.....
I am not the most computer savy but how can I SAVE these files into mp3 format along with the rest of my mp3 music on my computer???? It lets me listen but I don't see how to convert and save...????
There should be a button on your winrar that says "extract" you push that and select a folder you want the files to go to, then they should be placed there after a couple screens asking you if this is 'ok' or something like that.
Stumbled upon your blog looking for more infomation on this record I just found. Looking through your archives and I really dig the music you post. Btw how can I find your ebay sales? Thanks and keep digging.
beautiful LP, thanks so much for your work!
