I know someone that works for Riki.

I think it was Elliot Randall's solo on 'Reelin'.

[BombHollywood]

Yes, if I remember correctly Skunk was on the O'Reilly Factor about 4 or 5 years ago. I remember him mildly renouncing the liberal views of his former band-mates.

Actually, Hedy Lamarr invented the idea of frequency-hopping, which is a widely-used method for secure radio comm. Here is a writeup....

Perhaps it's only coincidence that Ms. Lamarr was known for her habit of bed-hopping (and lack of discrimination about the sex of her partners....)

China Grove BUMP

Well I'm only 35 years old.... However, I did hear of Elvis...

"I'm sorry - I'm just giggling here. I'm 38 and I know quite a lot of Doobie Brothers AND Steely Dan songs. LOL!!"

35?...Flock of Seagulls and Spandau Ballet...that's what he was listening to

[StarCMC]

I know them too. Everything but Rap or Opera and I'm happy.

I rate Reelin' in the Years' guitar solo as in the top 10 of all time, along with Comfortably Numb, Hotel California, etc.

Not sure if he did the solo on "Reelin in the Years," but I think he did do the solo at the end of "Boddhisatvah" which is my fave solo from those early Dan records. He also played the pedal steel, he did some beautiful work on "Pearl of the Quarter."

Cool - from this Doobie Brothers music fan.

Good to know some entertainment figures get it (like Gary Sinise).

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Hey Star- careful or I am going to spam you with some old school tunes... I have a few of them! (hehe-) Got some good opera too...BTW-How do you feel about zulu tunes? ;]

[rvoitier]

You mean when the Giants played the 49ers or Raiders?

[StarCMC]

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

You are a woman of varied talents I must say! LOL

[Aquinasfan]

I think his guitar solos for Steely Dan are as good as they get.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Reelin in the years was Elliot Randall. Bodhisattva is a great solo- (Jeff's is 2nd solo- ist solo is Denny Dias). FWIW~My favorite solo of Jeff's in My Old School.

[DBrow]

Baxter was on the third Ultimate Spinach disc, the one that's hard to get.

Ah yes, Boston trying to compete with San Francisco!

Behold and See, it didn't work too well.

[dfwgator]

Stampede by far is the best DB album ever. You could really hear how much better the Doobies sounded when Skunk joined them. Too bad Tommy had to leave the band afterwards.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

It is all good. ;]

[Aquinasfan]

I rate Reelin' in the Years' guitar solo as in the top 10 of all time,

And "Bhodisatva"! Incredible.

[inquest]

Everything but Rap or Opera and I'm happy.

And then there's the combination of the two...
