As Jerry Garcia played pedal steel with them, I'm guessing there's a Dead connection here. And Saneshane is on the right lines, 'cos track 2 is CSNY "The Wall Song" (can't remember which album). And EJD must be spot on with Dr John in the tie breaker song. But I can't see a Dead connection with these latter two. <BR/><BR/>So I'll claim six points (said in French) and hand over to the brighter sparks in the bonfire to crack this one.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I used to really love NRPS, and Hot Tuna - must dig them out again...glasshalfemptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571305610728989814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-84109153673627460302009-03-12T20:49:00.000+00:002009-03-12T20:49:00.000+00:00okay..
