From an old Wikipedia page (I think):
Lindsay Buckland is an Australian musician and busker known for playing an electric dulcimer, which he suspends from his neck like a guitar. By routing the instrument through MIDI circuitry, he manipulates its sound to emulate saxophones and other instruments. He has been active since at least the 1980s and is associated with the Melbourne busking scene.
Buckland has released several albums, including With You (1989), Bare Facts (1991), Eclipse of the Common Sense (1996), and Getting Karma (2000). He has also collaborated with Dutch musician Carlos Vamos, releasing projects such as Vigilante Safari Mafia (2006) and the double album The Famous Unknowns (2007).
In addition to his music career, Buckland authored Myponga: South Australia's First Pop Festival (2021), a book detailing the history of the 1971 Myponga Pop Festival.

Home to Myself Review by William Ruhlmann:
Now, I dont have the soul of Joni, and I cannot see myself like Miss Laura, sang Melissa Manchester on Funny That Way, thus marking out the competition. Like Mitchell and Nyro, Manchester was a piano-playing female singer, but she was right in noting that while there was a surface similarity in their musical approaches, she did not dig quite as deep emotionally as her predecessors. Manchester came from a lighter pop, supper club tradition, and on her debut album, singing songs most of which had lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, she explored a territory that seemed almost barren at the time a sophisticated, non-rock pop/jazz style that emphasized delivery and chops over individualistic, confessional writing. (It bore some similarities to the style of Manchesters former employer, the more flamboyant Bette Midler.) Not surprisingly, she did not find an immediate audience for such an approach, though this promising album did reach the charts.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Eric Carmen is the debut album by American rock musician and singer-songwriter Eric Carmen. It is also his first of two self-titled albums, the other released in 1984. It peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard album chart upon its release in 1975, the highest position of his career, and generated the No. 2 pop single All by Myself in the same year. The song reached No. 1 on the Cashbox and Record World charts. The album also included two follow-up top 40 hits, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again (No. 11), and Sunrise (No. 34), both of which charted in 1976.
All tracks were written by Carmen except the Drifters song On Broadway, which was written by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. This LP also contained Carmens original version of Thats Rock and Roll, which became a No. 3 hit for Shaun Cassidy in 1977.
The album was Carmens first solo production after leaving the Raspberries, a power pop group which scored several top 40 hits in the early 1970s.
Eric Carmen wrote all of the songs on the album except for On Broadway (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber). Several of his songs interpolate classical melodies:
Never Gonna Fall in Love Again is borrowed from Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoffs Symphony No. 2 in E minor.
All By Myself has elements from Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor.
My Girl exploits a theme from Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto No. 2.
Last Night quotes Etude Op. 10 No. 3 by Frédéric Chopin.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Greatest Hits, later re-released as Greatest Hits 1973–1988, is the first greatest hits compilation album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released by Columbia Records on November 11, 1980.
Although the official website for Aerosmith lists the release for Greatest Hits as October 1980, and the album was originally scheduled for release on October 24, 1980, it was delayed until November 11, 1980.
Some of the tracks were significantly edited from their original versions. The single version of Same Old Song and Dance was used, and was edited down almost a full minute. It also contained an alternate lyric which was not heard on Get Your Wings. The original lyric was Gotcha with the cocaine, found with your gun. The alternate lyric, included on the compilation, was You shady lookin loser, you played with my gun. Sweet Emotion also used the single version; it begins with the first chorus, cutting out the now famous talk box intro and the coda was replaced with a repeating chorus and fades out. Kings and Queens was also edited down, cutting the intro and certain other parts. Walk This Way was edited slightly, chanting the first chorus once instead of twice. The other remaining tracks were kept intact.
On April 21, 1997, a slightly revised version, Greatest Hits 1973–1988, was released outside the US, with the ten tracks in their edited versions retained, with five additional songs from the same era added, plus the 1991 version of Sweet Emotion and a live version of One Way Street.
Greatest Hits is the bands highest RIAA certified album in the United States, having been certified 12× Platinum in 2021.
