Every now and then, I’ll find the odd playlist laying around, scribbled on a cocktail napkin or a scrap of paper or a football. Some I’ve recorded while others were just “fantasies” (like the one where I mixed Enrico Caruso’s Faust with Dwight Yoakam’s Fast Cars).

I found this one as I was poking through my records, scribbled on the back of the Korgis Dumb Waiters album.

I was able to lay my hands on most of the tunes.

Here’s the list exactly as it was written in F45 shorthand, complete with misspellings, x-outs and weird capitalizations:

SOUTHSIDE - Ain’t

BOB JAMES - Shamboozie

STEELY - News

JOE JACKSON - Can’t

BEATLES - LOVE ME

TTD - Wishing

Johnny Nash - Stir

Ziggie - Tommorrow People

Sting - Set Th Free

Simon - Late

Winwood - Freedom

CSN - Southern

Band - The Wt.

Steely - Rikki

Band - Shape I’m

Wilburys - End of the

Dead - Touch

  1. Any chance to hear Jim Gordon play the drums “Rikki (Don’t Lose That Number)” and of course Steve Gadd ain’t no slouch either “Late In The Evening”.

    I like the new look too, very nice indeed.

  2. I like to new look, too, thank you.

    Interesting trivia about “Late In The Evening”: the way he got that multi-drum sound was to put a pair of sticks in each hand, held at the “wrong” (i.e., tip) end. An old drum corps trick.
