<div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Van Morrison song goes way back, but not as far as CCR to 1968.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">They are both great, and CCR guitar work was always killer. </font></div>
<div><font size="3">And the lyric that grabbed me too was "born on a Sunday, by Thursday I had me a job"! </font></div>

<div><font size="3">Group is clearly British as they mention Waterloo Station as one of the stops,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Golden Pell is deservedly awarded to the Butterfield Blues Band.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That is a brilliant piece of Music called Work Song!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The guitar work is by Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, with Butterfield on blues harmonics and 2 other members of what was a fantastic group so early in the age of Progressive Rock!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Everything about it is awesome and a great pick on your part too.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I gotta play the album title track someday, East-West.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><font size="3">Thanks for the listen and writing bro,</font></font><div><font size="3">Mike</font></div>

<div><font size="3">What, better than the Beatles, lol?</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I am honored that your next next L/F album post and that for the first time EVER, it will kind of tie-in to my show.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Honestly the Fischer-Z song was new to me too, heard it maybe in the last year and liked it, filed it away in my head.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Hahahahahaha, that yard work story should be a movie.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">When you first mentioned $9 I thought you meant an hour- not bad.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It appears it was $9 a DAY- talk about selling yourself short, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Do we have cicadas in Brooklyn?</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I hope not!<br/>Thanks for the listen and writing,</font></div>

<p>Back to the Rat Race, huh? Okay, that's cool with me.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That Van Morrison song was quite funky. And the CCR song is just killer. I've heard it but not really paid it any attention. But the guitar is just killer. And how 'bout this for a lyric, "born on a Sunday, by Thursday I had me a job). So cool.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Fisherzead? Couldn't understand what you were saying there. The Worker was a little Reggae, which I'm not a fan of, but this was cool.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Sam Cooke…</p>

<p>Ahhhhhhh.....this is better. Something about these "Rat Race" shows makes me happy and makes me likey. Plus, it gave me an idea for my next L/F album post and, for the first time EVER, it will kind of tie-in to your show. Isn't that interesting? Aren't you wondering what I have planned now?</p>

<p>I did like all the songs but the one that really stood out was the Fischer-Z song. It sounds like a song I would have heard on the radio during the summer while I was doing yard work at someone's house. Me and my little radio, weeding or clearing out brush. I was so cool around that time that one of my jobs was cutting grass at a house with a REALLY BIG yard and when they asked how much I charges, I said $9 because that sounded really good and they thought it was really good and then I found out I was stupid AND cheap and that's why they liked the $9 price. It would take me at least half a day to cut this vast expanse of lawn, but they did have a riding mower, but the riding mower never worked and I had to using a walking mower which really sucked and in the backyard there was a huge tree and I noticed things growing from the tree and when I looked close I saw they were larva and when they hatched they turned into cicadas and it really freaked me out. </p>
<p>Something like that. </p>
