I'll grant you that George Hawkins' backing vocals were pretty killer. I like that he sang the "Bare Trees" arrangement, but only much, much better.

I liked it until I heard these songs, and then it hit me that here are three songs that sounded very different on record in the '70s, but really far too similar live, especially in terms of the all-too-important guitar solo, in the '80s. The personality of the individual songs, when heard together, isn't there.

This looks like a Rhodes, but I don't know if it's a Fender, a copy, or if I need to get my eyes checked again.
