dEFROG ON 45 #72: I KNEW IT FROM THE START

Since I’ve already admitted to having a 45 with Michael McDonald on it, I might as well bring up that Firefall record.

You know the one.



Yeah.

Well, how many hit songs have a flute solo that doesn’t involve Ian Anderson?

I don’t have much else to say about it. It’s sort of up there with Little River Band – catchy tune, but pretty lightweight. It’s hard to believe they were a pretty big deal (well, in Colorado, anyway).

I also remember this was the first record that introduced me to the concept of overdubs. Sort of. I remember asking my mom, “How did they manage to put together a band where the singers have the same voice?”

“Electronics,” she replied.

And so much for Firefall.

It’s not the clothes you wear,
