I'll welcome ANY new output from BOC at this stage.  Who would have
been the rhythm section at that time?  Does this mean 'Power' was
bumped off the new record?  Tough to decide what to put on there off
EW.  Do you sacrifice a killer song like 'Harvest Moon,' and lose its
impact for the new BOC record, or include it to show the Summer DAze
crowd how great BOC still rocks?  Doesn't make sense to include a
weak tune or you might convey that BOC is over the hill.  But then,
when in the last several years have BOC management decisions made
sense...
