Nice Thread, OP!

I always do a thread search before posting anything, but sometimes they don't come up.
If thread's about 7 pages, I'll read through; otherwise, I'll post. I think what occurs is they'll only
come up in a search if it's typed in; not video only (though I'm no IT wizard!)

The End Of The Innocence - Bruce Hornsby
(co-written w/Don Henley)

 

Wow! That´s one I´d love to hear!

 

As much as I admire Burt Bacharach, he really shouldn't sing his own songs.
