Ahhh, the infamous SG vocals - an experiment that mercifully died a quick and quiet death, although I really love Patterns in the Rain and find Send Me One Line palatable (even if only because Jay blows me away with his sax solo). Those other ones, mainly the two on L&OO, it's worth repeating, aren't as good because Spyro Gyra is more or less reduced to being a backup band - I wouldn't know they were there if I didn't know it was their CD I was playing. At least on Patterns, there's plenty of Dave, Jay and Joel (and the raggae-ish rhythm doesn't hurt).

Actually...I did grow to like "Springtime Laughter" with Basia taking the vocal. Go figure.

Peace!
Paul

Hey, Paul, even if that song had been super sappy, just having Basia on it instead of some renowned R&B diva would have made it all right.
