Are you familiar with the SDG song "I'm a Man"? Perhaps you heard that.

Let's not forget 'Mr Fantasy' by Crosby Stills and Nash; it's on the boxed set. And I have a version of "Gimme Some Lovin'" done by Richard Simmons' "band" on Sweatin' to the Oldies 3 that really rocks. ;-) Bobbie 6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6*6 Date: Wed, 20 Sep 1995 From: MATTGREY@aol.com Subject: Vacant Chair "Vacant Chair" stands alone: I love good basic rock from the Stones to the Stone Temple Pilots but sometimes you hear songs and you hear musicians that go to other places that you have never known existed. Vacant Chair is a great example of this in that it is a truly beautiful song that can not be classified. It's not rock, folk, jazz, or your standard Gabriel and Sting bore. Whether you know every lyric or think the song is about an understaffed university, you can't help but be touched and inspired by each line, note and chorus. I like it when music amplifies and clarifies my mood and this song does just that. Other songs in this category include the wonderfully unique and underdiscussed My Love's Leaving, along with Dust,. Presence of the Lord, Let Me Make Something In Your Life, and State of Grace.

I have some tradeables, though nothing Traffic/Winwood related. Arnie Schulberg 8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8 From: MATTGREY@aol.com Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 Subject: If Winwood went country ... Interestingly enough I actually live in Nashville, the sometimes home of Mr. Winwood, and I often wonder if the country music scene has influenced him. What would happen if he did go country? Roll With It becomes More Rolls With It My Love's Leaving My Love I'm Leaving Vacant Chair Vacant Bar Stool Back in the High Life Bring Me Some High Life Riding High Ropin' High And if he veered away from country into protest folk then we'd have Talking Back to the Right. Matt 9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9 From: J.Kielema@bw.kun.nl Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 Subject: Nickname A dutch reporter gave Steve the nick name 'Steve "I guess I suppose you're right" Winwood', because of the fact that he is not very good in talking about his music (he's just talking back to the night).

The most frequently-asked-question that I actually receive is, 'What is Steve up to these days?' and of course that's the one question that I can't answer with any degree of accuracy or certainty. I'd really appreciate some help with this! Bobbie *******END OF SMILING PHASES, VOL 10**********
