The Toto guys did studio work for practically anyone and everyone recording in LA back then.  They're the sound behind almost all of the yacht rock music recorded during that era.

I thought of this and lolz'd last night.....the very first bumper music that FOX used was Boz Scaggs' Lido Shuffle.  Played by Toto's drummer, first bassist, and keyboard player.  And their guitar player did the tour, but not the Silk Degrees album the song comes from.  

That album is actually why Columbia Records got interested in their band and decided to sign them.

Petition to re-open the other thread.  I have a few things I'd like to discuss with the group, that aren't overtly political but nonetheless somewhat political.  And I don't want to post in Area 51, and I don't think it needs it's own thread.  I didn't even think the other thread ran off the rails.

IMHO this place has been a lot nicer without that thread... 

[FearlessF]

I can ignore other threads

Call it the political shit-posting thread or something.

Quite a bit of the "other thread" was interesting.  I'll complement SFBadger again for his perspective without all the emotional silliness.

I can reopen it if folks will agree to avoid the trash baiting that some would do (maybe including me at times).

I'm fine with it, but I'm not fine with any personal attacks. Those would be immediately deleted and a time out issued for the offender(s).

Petition to ban the Aggie for petitioning to open the other thread. 

Can't take an Aggie anywhere.

I'll sign it;)

Not that my vote counts for much, but I think this particular part of the board is better without the places that thread inevitably seemed to go.

Perhaps an effort could be made in area 51 to reconstitute it for those interested in partaking.

Reconstitute it?  In what way?  It's currently active, with relatively few participants.

A few posters here have given it a shot, most have departed in a few days or so.  MDT has been posting there of late.
