Gladys Knight had a minor hit with a funkified version of The Nitty Gritty. Not as good as the original imo.

Is Pat Metheny's "Letter from Home" an adaptation of this Copland?
  1:03pm
marc mendelson:

good morning Bob your all over the Map today fun stuff. have. a fun 4th
  1:04pm
Dean:

I ask because I've never heard the Metheny, but somehow I get the feeling that he shares Copland's nostalgic take on the expanse of America.
Avatar 1:05pm

Dean, I do not know it. I'll try to check it out.
Avatar 1:05pm
Bob Brainen:

Brother Marc M! You too!

Just gave it 20 seconds on YT. It is in fact a very familiar track, similar in spirit to the Copland, but a different tune.

Jeff:

Bob, 40+ years ago when I listened to you and Frank O’Toole back to back, my mind would get blown by the thought of the two of you pulling out records spontaneously to segue from one piece to another. The idea of curating (or planning) the playlist never entered my underdeveloped mind.
Avatar 1:49pm
Bob Brainen:

Jeff, back then and over the decades it was much more freewheelin' and certainly far easier to be that way in the FMU studio!
  1:52pm
Dean:

Hard to believe Wakeman's on this.
  1:52pm
Jeff:

I hear you, Bob. I’m sure WFMU has/had an extensive library. Hopefully, a lot more organized than mine. I could never get into alphabetizing my records. They’re all in some kind of genre/musical tree order which can get pretty confusing. The CDs are just an absolute mess!
