I consider Danny White's keyboards perfect in every way - his solos and backgrounds on Drunk On Love and Third Time Lucky give me chills every time and make me wish I could conjure up a 14' Steinway & Sons in my living room. Add to that the most excellent brass (who can ever find fault with Kevin Robinson's horns?) the bass lines that are always RIGHT ON the mark, and the just-right percussion to perfectly bind it all together, and the instrumentation alone could leave a true musician and music-lover perfectly breathless. And altho I didn't mention Peter White's guitars, with which I fell in love at first hearing I will say that those tones can make one determine to be a good little girl so as to hopefully end up in the Heavenly Hereafter and listen to White's guitars forever. Just felt the urge to "share the love" as I listen again this morning. Hope everyone's having a fabulous day! /jan ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V8 #145 ***************************
