if only i didn't have my head up my ass as a 16 year old metal head. I watched about 3 bruce Hornsby tunes while i ate some lunch in the back. Now i spend 3 hrs a day celebrating the noisemaker catalog.
Not sure if most realize that this is a song to throwback basketball star. Bruce is a huge Basketball fan and still plays regularly from what I'm told.
"I recall when you fill it on up....When you bow to the (Ball) crowd..and the girls in the short skirts screaming loud.
From somebody that's listened to hundreds of albums across every genre, I'd have to say 'A Night on the Town' is one of my all-time favorites. When in doubt, this one gets a spin.
Hornsby has that Afro-Celtic sonic/cultural mix that comes from the Southern US - - the melancholy-sweet lament quality from Scotland and Ireland combined with African percussive, jazz-inflected rhythms and exuberance - a uniquely American blend (it even goes up thorugh Canada, they're blues-crazy up there) -- Love this sound!
Nobody really has a clue just how talented Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers are i saw at the biltmore house about a month ago and man they were great!! If i said to say in my opinion the most talented bands out there are Rush, Dave Matthews Band, Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, Genesis those are my heroes musicly
just found that out.....b 4 u replied, im getting married in 8 weeks (sept. 19th) and this is one of the songs i want to jam out at the reception.......a lot of horsby.......u know what i love..........hornsby and kimock stuff......oh yea thats that shit!
This is fantastic. An excellent band, this should dispell all the doubters who think Bruce Hornsby has only done one song or all his songs sound the same!!!
Now where have i heard your name before, hmm? I would love to hear the version Bruce did with The Grateful Dead at Wembley Arena in 1990. I was there but it now seems to be a bit of a blur!

In the Rock /pop Category, would everyone consider Henley the best piano player? If not, who do you think is better?
