Almost a couple of months ago, at Rocket Brown's recommendation, I tried out Curtis Creek Band, a group of Japanese musicians and fishing enthusiasts that got together in 1979 to make music and land some trout apparently. 🐟 I also made mention of the fact that there was a "Star Trek" connection as well in the first article for the group, "Foggy" which was a track from their 1983 album "Windy People".
Well, I've now found another lovely song by Curtis Creek Band and it hails from their 1982 album "Love Songs", and I do love the album cover. "Nite Flite" is a very sweet instrumental filled with languid guitar, jazzy flute, silky strings and romantic harmonica. One Japanese music blog titled "Round Midnight" gave their own thoughts on "Love Songs" and when they were comparing the band to fusion groups The Square and Casiopea, Curtis Creek Band was much more on the easy listening end of things, and "Nite Flite" fits the bill exactly. The title might refer to something airborne, but there is also something there that would make for nice accompaniment to some fine fly fishing in Curtis Creek itself.
Noting that I'm not exactly the most relaxed passenger on a plane, I could use "Nite Flite" to settle my jangled nerves. It's probably a whole lot safer than sleeping pills.
I agree, it is a lovely song.
