The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

More dedications, some of a rather odd sort. I know even less about these. OK, I'm pretty sure I know who John McLaughlin is referring to in "Song For My Mother." Otherwise, I often have no idea who or what is the actual intent here.

Well, JD is judgement day...unless it's Janelle Davidson (fictitious name :) )

Song for America never gets old...simply one of the best songs ever done.

The Styx song is an old obscurity...great tune.

Galactic Cowboys were a great band. Hard rock in the vein of King's X

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

And opened for them too.....still remember the hair-swinging lead singer:salute

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

I think their first album was also produced by the same guy who produced a lot of the early King's X albums. His name is escaping me right now though...

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

I think his name was Rick Spaz...........:LOL:

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

That would be Sam Taylor.....(without benefit of looking)

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

I like how each KX album he produced had a quote in it with the format "Lyric from the album?...Hmmm?"

Re: The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2
 

And the Galactic Cowboys album has the "And a great sandwich fell on the ground? ...Hmmm?"
