I don't remember the album, but every time I see a plane flying by overhead, I hear the song in my memory "Jets at dawn, sail across the sky. Silver birds writing words for errant wives, who down below hang the washing out to dry"

or something like that.

BBD were a great, under-rated band and Bill Nelson should have garnered more attention as a guitarist.

I went to see a Styx concert back in the day, and BBD was the warmup band. I think I was the only one there who knew who they were. I was pretty upset that the sound crew seemed to be tweeking the system at BBD's expense, and was disappointed that their set was so short.

This thread makes me want to go dig out the vinyl. Thanks.
