    I loved "Space Race" and "Outta Space." Great early 70s instru-funk. Important part of my formative years.

    Will it go Round in Circles was one of my favorite tunes when I was a young lad.

    RIP Billy!

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.
