No, were not riffing on Arlen Specter.

Rather, we are going Jukebox this evening, as we got sidetracked today, on the homefront, and rather then force things, decided to go-with-flow, and chill out.

We give you a great one, from the earlier 80's - Eric Gale's "With You I'm Born Again", off his 'Touch of Silk album (with killer sax work by Grover Washington Jr.).

This was, earlier, a big hit for Billy Preston and Syreeta.

You should enjoy it ... Nice tune to take us into the weekend.
