First up, always loved the break at 1:18 or so
Nextt up, I mentioned this one in the Chuck thread. I remember, 1980, my mentor Willie Streider , he as a senior at Sealy when I was a freshman, took me under his wing, we drove up to Sam Houston in Huntsville for a district-all state tryouts clinic, driving through the pine trees on a rainy morning and he put this tape on. Blew me away, still does. Willie (Will as he goes by now) made all-state, went to UH and then became the long-time trumpet instructor at Texas Tech, retired a couple of years ago.
Alan Parsons songs always had some killer french horn lines. I actually wanted to play french horn but when I started band (5th grade, do any bands start that early anymore?) in Hempstead, they didn't offer it, just cornet or trumpet. Wanted a cornet but trumpet was cheaper, and we were poor, so there you go.
Another one with some great horn runs..
