He posted it to Facebook, too. A friend of mine who is a pro guitarist (hired gun player) got to play a split bill show with Christopher, and says he's the nicest guy, too. Doesn't get much better than that, no big head about the guy at all. Christopher is a MUCH better guitarist himself than he gets credit for. The entire "Christopher Cross" debut album is a gem and well worth picking up. Stellar musicianship all around, a KILLER list of players and guests on it, and it sounds amazing, too, very well engineered.

The guitar outro is one of the finest guitar solos you're likely to hear. The producer/sound mixer of the album cocked it up bad and all but drowned it out so very few people even realize how dynamic it is. Very glad you picked up on it Jamel.

Michael McDonald is singing with Chris and they make a great sound together.

Me and my wife always laugh about how McDonald only gets to sing three words out of a few verses when the song comes on the radio. It gets funnier when the 5:10 part of the song is plays and McDonald really gets into his 3 words real deep and Cross and pissed off (joking) . My wife thinks I watch too much Family guy and yes it rubs off.

Think of Laura, Arthur's Theme, and Sailing are my three Favorite Christopher Cross Songs. Yes, Michael McDonald is on this song too. Yes, Christopher Cross is playing the guitar solo. And if you could do a reaction to Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell," that would be amazing. That is all.

I think this is the first video I saw of yours-- I looked the song up when I was remembering how my best friend used to dance to this song in her living room. Thank you SO MUCH for "Keeping great music alive" during this pandemic-- you have kept me occupied and distracted and just lifted my spirits SO much with music that I love and music I hadn't yet discovered, but found out I love just as much as you.
