Interesting. Nostalgia band for sure. Including some ELO "Xanadu", some Genesis, an R&B song that I know, but could not place. I actually got distracted most of the time with, hey that sounds like <enter song or band>. What is old is new again, time after time...... {good bass player though} Edit: -- I found it, Mornin' by Al Jarreau

ah canadians... also, I am not sure why YouTube recommended this to me.

I am a big Spock's Beard fan from back in the day when it was fronted by Neal. I didn't follow him into his solo work (well I got the first album). It went too Christian for me. I had not heard of the Neal Mores Band project. I will add it to my list. thx

^^ this, Thanks Ric, very nice.

^ this. I can appreciate this version... thanks Rob.

Ah, that is why it kept playing...

Thanks Dusty. I like the tune, reminds me of a lot of 80s jazz that I would listen to (yellowjackes, spyro gyra, etc.). Overall the balance for the amplified to the acoustic instruments was off to me. I could see the strings grinding away but could only hear a whisper of them.
