Phaideaux Corner by Nucleus (from Allycat 1975) - an amazing jazz-funk-fuzion opening track from an album that I confess I only listened to on YouTube because of the bad-ass album art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psa_waTFWvI&ab_channel=Hiawatha

I based my latest D&D character on this Black Sabbath classic, “Tye Wizard”. Originally from 1970, but here’s a remaster with better quality. https://youtu.be/e8fxrX-YidM?si=69jSh967eEGO-A59

The Mamas & The Papas, California Dreamin'. Here's a deep nostalgia pick from 1965. My parent's played this all the time and it just has such a strong vibe to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6uUEwZ8FM

Can't Help Falling in Love by We Five. Rapid acoustic guitar with soaring 60s harmony vocals make this my favorite version of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz4jqP8UWM

King Crimson - Epitaph [8:55]. So in my rapid research I noticed that In the Court of the Crimson King as early 70s and thus fits the time block for tonight. We've heard many a version of 21st Century Schizoid Man, but what about lovely ol' Epitaph? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5HgnKaVv1E

The Eagles "Journey of the Sorceror", apparently originally from 1975, squeaking in there. I choose this as it will always be the theme to the HichHikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP5eb848Kpc

"You Set the Scene" by Love has some beautiful instrumentals, orchestral arrangements, and an absolutely lovely cadence you can easily sink into and enjoy. https://youtu.be/xyRrpmDQfUA?si=gix13JvqeSyHCIDy
