A music-obsessed, retired San Francisco lawyer, and author of the rock & roll memoir Jittery White Guy Music (available on Amazon)... picking a random album or song in his collection every day or so and sharing a few thoughts.
Sadly, the 80s were littered with wonderful jangly guitar bands which couldn't quite escape the college radio ghetto. San Francisco's Flying Color managed a single, eponymous album back in 1987 before going their separate ways (though member Chris Von Sneidern remained active in the power pop scene). The LP holds up as a lovely little gem, of its moment but with plenty of durable tunefulness keeping it vibrant. The sweet little time capsule is best captured on "Dear Friend," an amiable track with a catchy chorus that has that how-was-this-not-a-massive-hit? forehead-clap all over it.
