A Song for Tonight: I think there hasn't been enough funk in these gamethreads. Something to dance to. Something filled with hooks and grooves. That said, let's start with the Average White Band. You probably know their seminal instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces" from their breakthrough AWB album. The horns alone are iconic. But they had songs - very good songs - with lyrics and singing on that album too. For example: their cover of "Work to Do." The Devils certainly have work to do tonight.
The Reminder of Rules: The rules remain the rules. Here's a quick reminder. Please keep your comments clean, legal, and all about the game itself. Other scores are OK, but let's make sure the comments here are primarily about the Devils and this game. Also, let's respect each other, there's no need for drama or unwelcome nature of any sort. This is a gamethread, let's focus on the game. Thank you for reading and commenting. Go Devils!
