All this talk about Enchanted disc 3, I just had to throw it on.

So who's that blowing the horn on this track? I think all the musician information was in the Enchanted booklet, but I don't have that with me.

I don't know the answer to this question but I must say I love this version so much. One of my favs!

It doesn't list who it is in the Enchanted booklet.

Could it be Kenny G? Remember him?

It ain't his style ... but it could be.

Marty Grebb played sax on the SA tour.

Grebb? Aren't those worms you feed to your lizard or something?

Good lord, no. It's actually a decent sax solo, with oomph and feeling to it.

What did this unknown sax player ever do to you that you suggest he might be Kenny G?

People complain about the Stevie bashing around here, but that was just really mean...

There's no info included with the "Maybe Love" CD single either.

Since this is Steet Angel era, it might be Dave Koz who played the sax on "Destiny".

If it had been someone already signed to a recording contract, wouldn't Street Angel have had to list the "by permission of ..." disclaimer?

I always thought "Thousand Days" was recorded for Timespace. If you listen to her voice, it sounds more 1991 than 1994 -- and that's not a good thing!

So who played sax on the Timespace Tour?

They would have, if "Thousand Days" had actually been on 'Street Angel.'

The fact that Chris Lord-Alge co-produced "Thousand Days" with Stevie, would seem to lend even more weight to that timeline theory... since he co-produced "Desert Angel" with her and remixed the songs for 'Timespace'... but Sara Fleetwood is credited alongside Lori and Sharon for backing vocals, and Stevie didn't record with her until 'Street Angel.'

Unless it was started in 1991 and not finished until 1993/94 (much like "Paper Doll" was started in '88 for 'Greatest Hits,' but not finished until '92 for 'The Chain', and "Reconsider Me" was started in '84 for 'Rock A Little,' but not finished until '98 for 'Enchanted')?
