♫ Baby Come Back ♫ To the best of my recollection … and granted, that is faulty these days … I have never played a song by this group, Player, before here on my music posts. Released in late 1977 as the lead single from their 1977 self-titled debut album, this was the breakthrough single […]

The Good, The Bad, And The … Funny! I vaguely remember the days, back before the year 2016, when I went to bed at night feeling safe and secure.
