Traffic one of the great 70s bands. Chris Woods's flute, haunting. Got the LP when a student in the early 70s.

Never liked the muddy recording.  Pity because I like the track otherwise.

Flashback...bong sessions, keggers, G.D.I. Parties, E-School Daze, Windowpane, Conehead, TFG, Click and the gang at The Brown Hole, Kenny B., Jimmy the Greek, H.B., Chuck the Fucker, Crash, Mindy, Elaine, Laura, Tish, Peggy, Janella, Cathy, Kim, Teresa, endless drinking at The Mine Shaft, the Kabuki Lounge, the Wagon Wheel, Two O' Nine, Top Hat, Green Acres, The Cliffs, Lane Springs... and though it all, Traffic was always somewhere in the background...such a rich sound, always lots going on, deep as you want to go, or plenty cool enough to just bop along on the surface...GOOD STUFF!
