I kind of liked his “Jumpin’ Jive” album. Still have a cassette of it around somewhere.

I think he looks pretty good for being my age. A lot of musicians my age are... dead.

I like a lot of that era’s music. Too bad my wife doesn’t. Oh well, plenty of YouTube videos out there of practically any musician you can think of.

When I got my first CD player one of the first CD’s I bought was Live ‘80 to ‘86. Great album!

He still puts on a great show. Unlike most people our age he’s not content to play his old hits as if he was a karaoke machine. He changes up the tempo. Changes the arrangement. Plays his music as if he still really *means* it. As opposed to a lot of ‘70s and ‘80s artists I’ve seen whose shows now could be replaced by lip-syncing to their old tape tracks, and no one would notice.

He did some good Steely Dan covers, and normally I cringe at thought of anyone covering Steely Dan.

d’oh. _going_
But every cover band I was ever in, no song ever got every half-drunk guy in the house singing along like, “Is she really going out with him?”

Saw him in 1982 and again last year. Forty years apart and he put on a great show both times.
