    Chills watching this. Growing up in the '60's as a guitar-rock snob I usually gave short shrift to bands like BS & T...my loss. Why I love UA-cam is I can go back and discover these guys all over again. DCT in total command.

    Beyond great music and performances...the message is what we should all be stearing our children toward.

    But God bless the child who can stand up and say...I got my own...

    Saw BST at the Marin County Fair several decades ago....with DCT. Unbelievable! We had the best Rock-Horn bands in the 70's. Chicago, BST, TOP, Chase. The beauty of this song was that it opened up a new generation of real music lovers to Billie Holiday. Grover Sales took us on a Jazz-filled adventure in Survey of Jazz. Music is love in search of a word.
