The Year of the Cat-Al Stewart
I adore soft rock from the '70s. It's my four packs a day, my crack cocaine, my black tar heroin. It was the first music I heard coming through the radio and it carried into my teens until I rebelled against it for the cooler and hipper music of my 20's and 30's. And as my hairline has retreated, my affinity for the safe, tame and comforting music of this time period has returned full force.
Amidst the sea of endless songs from this genre, there are two that serve as my bookends, the Kareem & Magic, Laurel & Hardy, Peanut Butter & Jelly. If you wished to torture me by allowing me to only listen to these two songs the rest of my days, I would chuckle and respond, "Yippee Ki-Yay. . ."
This is one. The other will arrive with the year 1978.
