Thanks Harvey - I don't know how I left off "Steel Monkey" I loved that song and Tull is one the bands that I have every single recording available by them.

Um, this IS a test then, yeah?

You HINT soooo stealthily in leading off
w/ Bobby, the great vocal in the very song
which is not mentioned here to my abject
amazement.

You know it well--from my 2nd (only to the Stones!)
and your fave band--yup, off their LZ III...track 10.

HATS OFF TO ROY HARPER!!!!

...sho'nuff won't make no monkey outta me!!!


Monkey Man by da Stonz has alwezz been
a particular pet of mine with that gorgeous piano
by none other than Sixth Stone Ian Stewart
who not only graced the keys on Zeppelin's
studio take of Rock And Roll **AND**
is the namesake of Zep's Physical Graffiti
piece, "Boogie With Stu".

Overjoyed to see Chuck's version listed!!!!
