I've talked about "Dad music" before. You know, those songs you heard your father play as a kid and thought nothing of it at the time, only to develop your own fondness for that stuff well into adulthood?
Well, Dad had a copy of Average White Band's 1974 release AWB. See the somewhat provocative album cover? I remember that like it was yesterday. "Pick Up the Pieces" got played quite a bit. At the time I just went "Whatever. Is it dinnertime yet?" But I'm nuts for the song now. It satiates my LATFAP like nobody's business, and I know I totally get that from Dad.
See, sometimes your parents knew what they were doing.
Watch a fanvid for "Pick Up the Pieces" on YouTube. That's pretty damned funkified for a bunch of Scottish white guys.
Watch a live performance.
