My age was the same as the album number, which was a perfect match for the Cetera schlock. :-) 16 was good, too, and I always was fond of that weird jazzy outro on Hard to Say I'm Sorry.Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-50276995672483573872018-03-07T07:50:03.066-05:002018-03-07T07:50:03.066-05:00I get it.

I know the purists loathe the ‘80s Cetera schlock but I think it says a great deal about the talent in the operation that the band was able to thrive in two completely different musical eras. Chicago is not the Beatles but I think they merit comparison in their capacity for change.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-73806078985173326542018-03-03T04:11:50.972-05:002018-03-03T04:11:50.972-05:00Sounds wonderful!
