Time Was - Wishbone Ash
Bottling 5 gallons of cream ale today. Been quietly fermenting in the kitchen for the last couple of weeks. Looks like it'll be fairly tame with just a subtle hoppiness. It's been a couple of years...
Straight Edge - Minor Threat
These Days - Joy Division
Night of Fear - The Move
Mother! The Frank Zappa Story by British writer Michael Gray. I'm enjoying it. Lots of nuggets about Frank's early musical life in Cucamonga.
Up next is The Wanderer: Dion's Story, the...
I didn't know Chris well, but he always had a good word to say to me at ProgDay. Another festival fixture gone. Sad, indeed.
Popsicle - Jan & Dean
Before I was aware of his studio craft, the first time I ever saw or even heard of him was when he played the buyer in Easy Rider.
A Friend of Mine - Fields
Out of Time - Chris Farlowe
All or Nothing at All - Frank Sinatra
Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys - Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings
Fried Hockey Boogie - Canned Heat
Why Don't We Do It in the Road? - The Beatles
Great lineup, Deb. All these are from my last year in high school and first year of college. My prog formative years.
I Fought the Law - The Clash
Alone Together - Dave Mason
Ice Cream Man - Clover
In early 1970 a 60-minute show aired on network TV called "Switched on Symphony" hosted by Zubin Mehta. It featured the Nice, Jerry Goodman from the Flock, Santana, Jethro Tull, and others. I...
My daughter sent me a copy for Christmas. I'm loving it.
Just What I Needed - The Cars
Goodbye, Gerry. As a yoot, I was really into the British Invasion bands. What intrigued me was, Gerry being a good example, that many British guitar players held their guitars up high on their...
Long Red - Leslie West
A Good Friend of Mary - Mason Proffit
Keys of the Kingdom - The Moody Blues
Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down - Merle Haggard
In Deep - Argent
Always was Mary Ann for me.
John, I'll never listen to Jan & Dean's song "Popsickle" the same way again.
You are right about the Silver Apples debut. I remember that now. For some reason I've equated it with Lark's Tongues. Maybe I just felt the same way about it.
Lost Highway - Hank, Sr.
Larks Tongues in Aspic for me, too. I was into all prog stuff that came before in which songs had a beginning, a middle, and an end, but with Larks Tongues, my ears were opened to the middle. As the...
Ring My Bell - Anita Ward
For me it's Vera (played by Ann Savage) in Detour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWIuKcyuesg
The clip doesn't begin to show how vicious and vile this woman is.
Yes, We Can Can - The Pointer Sisters
Father and Son - Cat Stevens
Rattlesnake Shake - Fleetwood Mac
Here We Go Round the Lemon Tree - The Move
Dogs, Part 2 - The Who
I've been to only one ROSFest, the one with the Strawbs headlining a few years back in Gettysburg. Loved every bit of the weekend. It was an honor meeting you, George.
The best ever. Love this Christmas song so much more than Slade's.
Children of the Future - The Steve Miller Band
A real shame. I saw Leslie with Jack Bruce at the Philly Spectrum in 1972. He was immense, not just in size but in sound.
Right Back Where We Started From - Maxine Nightingale
I'm almost done with Exorcising Ghosts, the autobiography of Dave Cousins. I've started and stopped it so many times when other books came into the picture, but I'll be finishing this one finally in...
Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder - Quicksilver Messenger Service
Morning Song - Pearls Before Swine
I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee
Mine is Autumn Stone by the Small Faces on the Immediate label. It's so scratched, it's unlistenable. I bought it that way (about 40 years ago) just so I could say I have a copy of it in America.
I watched it, too. Good clean fun, though I couldn't help thinking, "Man, that lady's naked." To tie this in with the "geezer" theme, thinking like that, I think I'm becoming (or already am) a dirty...
Disco Inferno - The Trammps
Back in the Saddle Again - Gene Autry
More, More, More - The Andrea True Connection
The Man I Don't Wanna Be - Unnatural Axe
Down on the Border - The Sir Douglas Quintet
I saw Fred in a tiny club in Boston in 1980 or so. Must have been 20 people there. He played prepared guitar and Phil Minton scat-sang along with him. She-who-must-be-obeyed was with me; this was...
My daughter lives in the UK (St. Albans) and asked me to send her a list of what I'd like from Father Christmas. This 600 pages of brain damage is at the top o' de list.
Will o' the Wisp - Leon Russell
Save the Whales - Country Joe McDonald
I saw the Feedback band at the Philly Spectrum in 1972. They were a decent rock band, but, as been said, just a shadow of what once was. One interesting thing about their performance was that it...
