So let’s see…where were we? Ah yes…when we left off last, in our continuing saga of Samples vs. Originals, we looked at folks like Galt McDermot, Bob James and Rotary Connection. Tonight, we’ll go yet another round, blowing off dust off and shedding some light on a few more classics…

Ok…so I got a little carried away! But I can’t help myself! I got so excited with these!! Now it’s your turn. Go ahead and spend some time with these and let me know what you think. Please send me your suggestions too, so that I can incorporate them into a future installment of Samples vs. Originals!
Until Next Time…
