We'll start at the beginning, call it ground Zero. If you ever want to know where the full potential of music is, here, listen to this piece. Maybe someday you can make something THIS good. Let's start practicing..." |

| Boy_Wonder (Bath, back in the UK) | Posted: Sep 29, 2012 - 09:05 What a great set - Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love Faithless - Reverence (boy, that stirs some controversy) Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier HH - Cantaloupe Island and now David Gray 'Let the Good Things Come'... |

| iTuner | Posted: Feb 09, 2012 - 13:41 Feel like I'm watching the damn beginning to the Cosby Show. Can this song be put to pasture and any other Herbie Hancock song get into the rotation? |

| djengs | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 20:59 one of the first I knew from Herbie. For a while I thought he was the trumpet player. The confidence to feature it says volumes. |
| ladron (:O) | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 20:55 I just rated this song "Outstanding", because that is exactly what it is. |
