Stanley Jordan, Flying Home

This probably ain't in the top 10 of '80s instrumental guitar albums (you'll get those 10 later, I would think), but it's pretty good.

Worth it for the cover of "Stairway to Heaven"--which, let us all admit, takes a lot of guts--most of the album sounds like a soundtrack to a John Hughes movie.

Some great guitar, a lot of drum machine, & too much synth.

Dude is a crazy-great two-hand tapper, & he shows some of that here . . . but not enough.

So, take that for what it's worth.

Juniors:

Part 3 resonated w/ many of you, & that makes me happy.

It's challenging, it's eclectic (not "random," but, OK), it's durn funny, it's the best of the 4 to these eyes.

You had a chance to begin Part 4, "A Voyage to the Land of the Houfufhfhudbdfhhfnfnnfnms."

Or something like that . . .
