Caravan Ray - Little River Band's Reminiscing
I'm a little surprised I'm still on the roster - my previous comment must have been overlooked:

(...that seems like a good enough excuse for me to back out of something I had no intention of doing in the first place. Seriously, anyone who covers Toto or Kenny Loggins songs, even in jest, will go to hell. Although I suppose I'm already going to hell - after all I did do a cover of a Barry Manilow song a few months ago...)
...then again - I believe I said something similar in the lead up to the Barry Manilow Fight - but I still did an entry...

Whatever became of this? I don't think anyone ever responded. For the record, I'm fine with either deadline, September 28th or October 13th. I just wouldn't want the other Sidefights being effected.
Yeah, we'll let the Yahtzee or Yacht Nazi or whoever is the Captain of this ship set the official date which I'm sure will be updated in the first post (hint).
As I look at the other pending deadlines Total Request Coverfight isn't due until 11/01 and the Hall & Oates isn't due until 12/31 so revising the due date until 10/13 should work for everyone playing more than one of these. (Me)
Also: my previous ambivalence can be at least partially ignored; I'm in for BOTH 'Escape' and 'Him' by Rupert Holmes. I don't have a link to the original on the second one, but I assure you it's pure YachtRock. It's off the same album (Partners In Crime).
Massive amazing list of Yacht Rock covers! I'm sorry for the delay in getting this list updated. But I gotta say, it's going to be an amazing coverfight!

I changed my song. As a fan, I love the Ambrosia cheese, but as a performer, I wasn't feelin it. Moved on to the kinky Doobiesish one-hit by <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=1qyzlWRbCtU">Robbie Dupree</a>. I like how in the video, a piano takes the place of a vibraphone, a Les Paul is visually referenced for a sitar, and Robbie Dupree stands in for a charismatic pop singer.
What time friday do these need to be in by, ours is nearly finished but i'm gonna be very drunk tomorrow (john peel day in sandino's) and i have to go to a thing i don't want to go to on friday night, it wouldn't be so bad but i have to drive there......no booze but i can leave early enough so if its late on friday i can post it then, otherwise i'll post it tomorrow sometime even if its not completely finished

Yeah let's say late on Friday because... honestly... I'll need it.
How about 11pm Pacific time? So up until 2 am Saturday morning if you're on the US East Coast. Because it's smoooooth like that.

I sorta thought I was out. Well, I do have good intensions, but it'll be way late. Plenty of listening in the meantime, I'm sure...

There's no excuse because there has been more than enough time to complete this project on time, but I've procrastinated long enough to contract my first cold of the season so I'm not in good enough Logginsesque voice at the moment to make a run at the vocals. Zycam is an amazingly wonderful product and is defeating the virus as I type this but it doesn't do much to assist my voice which will only when return when it's damn good and ready. I'm hoping I still might make the late Friday deadline though. If not, I should be good to go sometime on Saturday. No later than Sunday for sure.

Uh, not sure! First Mate Glenn, what do you think? How do the winds be blowin'? 160 knots NNW? 256?
(If the reason for a limitation is server space or download bandwidth, then heck, bring it on. I've got plenty enough of both.)
- youse can jam your Yachtfight up your dates...
but i can leave early enough so if its late on friday i can post it then, otherwise i'll post it tomorrow sometime even if its not completely finished
