(I&#8217;ll let you figure out what album I might be referring to.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"750\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-13-at-8.58.56-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5379\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-13-at-8.58.56-AM.png 990w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-13-at-8.58.56-AM-300x227.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-13-at-8.58.56-AM-768x582.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 7-A Quirky Jerky\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mDTzkM0k4hk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Horned Prog 7-A Quirky Jerky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Locomotive Breath -Jethro Tull<\/li><li>Digging My Lawn\/Little Children -Giles Giles &amp; Fripp<\/li><li>Mom and Dad\/Oh No -Ed Palermo Big Band<\/li><li>Rose Garden -3rd Avenue Blues Band<\/li><li>Aquarius (Let the Sunshine In) -5th Dimension<\/li><li>I Talk to the Wind -Giles Giles &amp; Fripp<\/li><li>Crazy Daisy -East of Eden<\/li><li>Spring Theme-Summer Theme -Dr. Dopo Jam<\/li><li>Sabre Dance -Ekseption<\/li><li>Maudie James -Samurai<\/li><li>Look at the Animals -Jethro Tull<\/li><li>Iguana -Iguana<\/li><li>Tapeworm -Creative Rock<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-embed-aspect-16-9\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horned Prog 7-B Quirky Jerky\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mor1przDQt0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Dog Breath Variations -Ed Palermo Big Band<\/li><li>The News -Window<\/li><li>New Religion -Trifle<\/li><li>Reverend T.
