DESCRIPTION: A frenetic "Jimmy Stewart" out of FF flies head first into 40's Theme with a "blink and you missed it" segue. The grand piano Joel had access to at the 9:30 Club makes an excellent addition to The Fussy Dutchman. Umphreys pays tribute to one of their influences by covering the King Crimson classic Red. The podcast debut of Out of Order showcases a rare fan favorite. (umphreys.com)
