Hi Skip...
I agree with you totally regarding Silver Morning. I was 20 years old, on my way to work at just before midinight. I grew up in Las Vegas, so many of us worked at that hour. I had the radio up and the top down. I tuned in to my favorite station and the most beautiful song and magnificent voice caused me to pull to the side of the street and just listen. I tuned in at the very beginning of the song, so I didn't hear the DJ introduce the tune. After that, he went straight to commercial. As soon as I got to work I called the station and asked the DJ to tell the name of the song and singer. It was Kenny and singing Silver Morning. I clocked out at 8am and went straight to Odessey Records, which was open 24/7. I still have that very album! Magnificent.

Do you know the feeling of bliss and awe you sometimes get when you experience a performer's creative genius?
