When we had our 'Degrees of seperation' contest a while back, I got a badge which came with this little message;
"Description: Second place, huh? Nice work. You must be pretty smart. You should make a mixtape connecting every song to Kevin Bacon in 6 steps or less."
I assume this was not meant to be taken literally, but I decided to do so anyway, and here it is. Each song can be linked to the meaty pork named one in six moves or less...

| 3 | Robert Cray : The Grinder |

Robert Cray's blues are a mite too smooth for me, but I like some of the early stuff such as this track. BACON CONNECTION: 1 STEP: Kevin Bacon played Chip Diller in the movie "Animal House" which features a fictitious roadhouse band, Otis Day And The Nights. The lead guitarist in the band...none other than Robert Cray.
