Have great Saturday, Goats. Take it easy and relax with the family. We're having waffles and then try to do some fishing.

Martin Guitars, when they decided to do a Jim Croce guitar, A.J. and I had talked to them and they said, 'You know, we want to do something really special in the guitar,' and they actually found mint dimes of the year that Jim had died – 1973 – it was one of those happenstances that occur. And in the neck of the guitar, I think it's on the third fret but I'm not quite sure, there is a minted dime that had never been circulated, in the head of 73 of the Jim Croce guitars. So this "Operator" was a really important song for a lot of people, including Martin Guitar. They wanted to really memorialize it.

Excerpt from an interview with Ingrid Croce talking about Jim, this song, and his career.

I'll miss our conversations and all the musical knowledge you possessed. We lost one of the good ones.

Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end

As noted a keyboardist as Manzarek was, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore were equally as impressive in their own rights.

Written by Ted Nugent and rhythm guitarist/singer Steve Farmer. This was on the first Dukes album to feature all original songs, all of which were written by Ted Nugent and Steve Farmer. The album was in part a commercial attempt to reach the counter-cultural market by producing somewhat of a concept album. Originally, the record's A and B sides were to be stylistically contrast to each other, and written separately by Nugent and Farmer, respectively. The final project, however, includes most of the lyrics on the first half to be written by Farmer, while the second half features Nugent's only writing contribution to be the music for this song and "Conclusion", which uses the same music. While Nugent's songs are more geared in the direction of hard rock that would pioneer into what is now considered an early precursor to heavy metal music, Farmer's work has much more of a psychedelic, almost trendy by design, feel that tends to make satire out of the music scene at the time rather than embrace it, even going as far as to play out like a continual concept album. Despite the musical differences, the two sides are both experimental in their own right, as they were still in the process of developing their sound that Nugent would ultimately continue to reinvent until the end of the band's career.
