The backstory on Ride Like the Wind is fantastic. I had no idea until a few years ago that the song was written while tripping on acid in the car and dedicated to Lowell George.

People think of him as a pop singer but he’s a really accomplished guitar player as well. Off course when you stand by Eric Johnson for a few years you are bound to learn some things.

I owe my knowledge of this gem to the creators of the Yacht Rock meme

Wow.. What memories.. I wore out the cassette of this album in my car from listening over and over.. "Sailing" is still a beauty! ❤️

They got a small interview with him on Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary on HBO. Which I think was a decent documentary on yacht rock, if anything, it was a fun watch.

Have a very funny story about working in a record store and trying to convince a young JHS age kid that there was no way this cd was what he wanted. He insisted. Rung him up. Less than hr later woman storms in, screaming “Which motherf***r sold my son this white-ass bulls**t?!?” 1/2

2/2 Sheepishly raise hand (like I’m in JHS myself) & hear “how the f*** could u think a young Black kid could want this white-ass-nonsense”. Said I begged him not to buy it: no use… FFWD 1 Tues. later,in the box of new releases 2 blk kids w/pants on bkwds- ROTFLMAO. Kris Kross =/= Christopher Cross

This album is responsible for my existence. My dad was working for Camelot Music when this album came out. He sold a copy to a woman he would end up marrying. Then a couple years later I showed up.

Actually I gave the severely abridged version of the story. The whole story is actually quite insane. If I wasn’t constrained by a character count I give the odd and insane twists in the story.

His later stuff is really good too. Avalon is a jam.

Happy birthday Chris. Found out that when Deep Purple's ionic guitarist Richie Blackmore couldn't play for a show, Christopher took his place. How 'bout that?
