Hot Chocolate

I listened to Clark Howard's radio show the other day, and the theme music was a snippet of something I recognized, but couldn't identify. It kept coming back to me more, until I had a title, and here 'tiz. I'm certain I haven't heard this song in three decades:

I love that song! I think a buddy of mine has it on a comp disc he bought. We're always trying to one up each other on old tunes on our drinking nights and he stumped with this one a few weeks ago.


Nothing like some good tunes and a good beer.

Oh YEAH!

The Score of my Life occurred in a Musician's Friend store, the Nord Electro II:

It had just been released about six months prior, for over $2,000. The one in the MF was used, but immaculate, not a scratch on her, and their asking price?? $700!!!! My eyes bugged out, they clearly didn't know what they had. I ran thru every knob, button, and key, everything worked, wrapped my arm around it and flagged for a salesman, kicked a couple of snot-nosed kids in the teeth who wanted to try it, and took 'er home!

Nord is a Swedish company that builds unexpected, well-made, extremely lightweight, expensive and fantastic-sounding synths (I also own their Nord Lead I). The Electro was designed to simulate electro-mechanical keyboards: the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, the Mighty Hammond B-3, Yamaha electric Stage Piano, and the Hohner Clavinet. The first tune I learned when I got her home was the Clav part on Withers' "Use Me Up".

Here's another great Clav tune from decades ago, that again I only recently found out who did it, the master Billy Preston:
