MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW July 16, 2023 #236

*We'll enjoy a song which appears to be a narration of a rock-bottom suburbanite's fantasy of becoming a romantic saxophonist.  The assumption here is that the guy is ready to ditch his life to become the musician of his dreams, but it is unclear if the guy actually achieves his dream or even if he can even play the horn.  Name the song and the band that released it in 1978...
 
*A Baltimore born musician moved to San Francisco in 1972 and ultimately formed a band that released nine albums between 1978 and 1986.  They did not have a hit until album #6 and perhaps their most popular song came on album # 8.  After that success, the musician would go on to write several novels and became the morning DJ at K-Fox in San Jose, California.  Name the artist...
 
*This British band formed in 1962 and while they did not have a crazy amount of hits, they were certainly one of the most influential and original bands of the '60's and a rather easy pick for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame which they entered in 1992.  Their first notable hit in 1965 caused a personnel change as an important member quit, thinking the band was becoming 'too commercial'.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of their first hit...
 
*This artist's father started a life of music as a director of high school bands in Illinois, first one in Peoria.  The artist we'll enjoy this evening was their youngest of 3 children born in 1951.  By that time, his father was the band director at Bradley University.  They played concerts and performed at basketball and football games and the father would allow his 4 year old son to stand in front of him and also conduct the band.  The personal song we'll play, released in 1981 is a tribute to his father.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...
