 25 years ago, my then-girlfriend ACS and I were at San Francisco's Ultimate Sound. Maybe we were hemming and hawing between Kimber KCAG and XLO Signature interconnects. But we had our usual power rock instrumentals from Joe Satriani and Stuart Hamm. Another customer, perhaps in his mid-40s, was wearing a polo shirt. He then opened his attache case, and pulled out a CD from pianist, David Benoit, Shaken Not Stirred. This CD clearly was recorded well. The fastest songs were the title track and "I Went To Bat For You." But for ACS, who liked adult contemporary music, one track, "Any Other Time," stood out. It featured former Ambrosia singer, David Pack. In those days, MTV and VH1 had stopped playing music videos, in lieu of reality shows. Even if these channels played music videos, they probably would not have played David Benoit. Thus, no video was filmed for "Any Other Time," and the song was sentenced to obscurity. But the thing was, in those days, when shopping for audio, you physically went to a store. And when you did, the possibility existed, to exchange music with other customers. With online shopping and SIP, we've lost the human contact and interaction. Oh well, go online, and check out David Benoit's "Any Other Time," which, for me and ACS, extended the life and impact of Ambrosia. -Lummy The Loch Monster
