    In '95 i would listen to the radio (we had "radios" way back then) and when this song came on, i would focus, and just be "taken away". I always used to envision early summertime, people talking, having fun in the sun and water, while a huge white anvil cloud just sits out there, completing the whole grand aesthetic... His voice IS absolutely beautiful and it still "takes me away"

    Massive Howard fan, but this clip is another example of how back in the Krock days the little respect Howard had for some of the insanely talented people that came through his doors. Because Christopher wasn’t Paul McCartney, Howard doesn’t care and his tone is almost disrespectful.

      Can you explain this to me? Because I fully agree. Nowadays Howard is incredibly kind & respectful and I believe that’s the real him. What changed? Also I’ve met Christopher Cross, one of the nicest people and definitely 💯 one of the most talented artists to ever make records in the last 50 years. What a voice.

    Fun fact: Stevie Ray Vaughan's Number One guitar originally belonged to Christopher Cross. Cross traded the Number One to Hennig’s shop for a Les Paul because he wanted something with a thicker sound. Then Ray Hennig gifted it to SRV along with a trade.
