Two songs I’ve always loved, which makes my in-the-know musician friends guffaw, are Kansas’ “Dust in the Wind” and “Dance With Me” by Orleans. Another is “Shannon” by Henry Gross,
which was playing a lot on the radio when I made a very memorable trip
to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans in 1977. “If You Need Me” by Leo Sayer is another song I heard on a long road trip, also in 1977, that holds ineradicable memories.

Admittedly, Will Ferrell’s rendition of “Dust in the Wind” in the movie “Old School” almost put me off that tune, but not quite.
