You will frickin' lose your mind if you see them live. Jimmy James on guitar and Delvon do BATTLE on stage; like it's Jimmy playing a lick from some pop song and Delvon answers. Of course they do their own thing mainly, but it's jazz improv that is at once hilarious and also exhilarating as they work it out. They go thru some drummers, so you never know what you're gonna get there, but the one time I saw them in person, the drummer couldn't stop laughing as he kept time in 4/4 and those other two just ran in circles around him and around each other and when it all came back home we were all "oh, right, they started out playing a Cyndi Lauper song."
JustineFromWyoming tells me that the last time she saw them (online), Delvon was wearing a T-shirt with a giant picture of Jimmy James' face. Those guys are so fun.
word! I did a review of the of the show we saw in the concert thread. Just. too. much. fun!!!

Guys/Gals, if you're a Certain Age you NEED to tune in to KUTX for old school funk right now. "Playing that music that got you into trouble. Yeah, I can see you smiling and singing along!..."
Great job of playing the old stuff every Friday evening to start the weekend.

One of my top ten albums. NTSU Lab Band 1975 - all but one song on it written by Lyle Mays. This thing is f'ing brilliant. Here's the whole album but, because it's from the days of vinyl, it's only about 37 minutes long. There are Yes songs longer than that:
