Random Memorial for Monday 1/23/17

Gone but not forgotten:  the latest entry in the ongoing discarded cassettes series (moved to the every other Monday spot in the new year once the Random Tunes for Tuesday were officially retired to make room for the latest "short" story concept on the blog).

The one and only Reba will be featured throughout the first quarter, and tonight it's the one and only live album she released in 1989:  "Reba Live".  As for the specific tune, with the knowledge of hindsight, it's only appropriate to highlight the tune on which she lets her band loose:  'Can't Stop Now'.  After all, many of the musicians on that particular track were to perish in a horrific plane crash just a few years later.

To that end:  Chris Austin, Kirk Cappello, Joey Cigainero, Paula Kay Evans, Jim Hammon, Terry Jackson, Anthony Saputo and Michael Thomas (a few names called out later on this album), you will be missed -- although you'll be fondly remembered playing your hearts out on this song.
