Would trust this man with your wife? Do not answer that question, but there is one musician that trust this man with something way more important than his wife. Meet Willie Nelson's go to man when his famous guitar needs a rework.

Formerly known as the Chicago Transit Authority but had to drop the CTA due to the city's complaints. Chicago combined great musicians with great lyrics and a rousing beat that could wake up the dead. Or at least that is what I felt like after a long night on the stools.

As I wind down the series, I just had to present a couple of the Disco songs of the era. I have never been a dancer past the jitterbug era and never could learn the later other dances of the 60-70's including the John Travolta moves.
