Speckled Hen? I know it well.

Al, I keep laughing at the Chomping but I can't remember how we started that. It was related to snow but I can't recall why  we started the chomp chomp thing. It's my age. Save me the bother of looking back and remind me if you can.

Thx

A night of rock n roll, cold Moosehead ale on tap,free popcorn and I even danced a few times,smile a good time was had by all.

Spent a great Friday evening watching one of my all time fave bands Mott The Hoople, they first formed in 1969 and 40 years on the original line up have got back together. They did a warm up gig in a theatre in South Wales, then they played 5 sell out nights in London at the famous Hammersmith Apollo....

Did I enjoy the show?, well its now Monday morning and I am still smiling, in fact I have not stopped smiling all weekend...Yes is the answer,  they were awesome.

Aah, yes, I remember now. LOL. Noticeably colder here tonight in the UK. Currently down to 4 degrees C. Chomping is not far away!

I called in at a pub tonight to see a 3 piece girl band called Syren. The guitarist / singer is from America and the bassist and drummer are English. They worked hard and I enjoyed their set.

I've got a serious liking for prog rock band It Bites at the moment plus their ex Lead Guitarist Francis Dunnery, who I believe now lives in the US.

I saw them last week too. Superb.

Mark

John Beck is indeed still there. I saw It Bites way back in the 80s when John got up and played a couple of numbers on guitar. He's a more than decent lead guitarist and after original guitarist Francis Dunnery left they carried on for a while as a three piece under the names of Sister Sarah and Navajo Kiss with JB switching to guitar. Currently John Mitchell is the new guitarist / vocalist and he's doing a great job.

Richard

The Stables is owned by Dankworth / Lane isn't it? I'd love to go there for a concert one day.

Thanks Dave...

I wondered about that because I met John Beck when he was with playing keyboards for Alan Parsons Live Project back in 1996 in Chicago with the group Yes...We had back stage passes for the venue and got to meet and greet members of the band and John was a down to earth guy like the rest and the man can drink!! LOL!! I think he is very talented musician....

Best...

I was stood right in front of John Beck during the show. Though he was swapping grins with the band, he never looked directly at the audience and his eyes looked like he's weathered a few storms. A couple of days ago I was listening to an archived 30 minute interview with It Bites drummer Bob Dalton (BBC Radio Gloucester website). He said that these days the band don't drink or party.."except John Beck who's still at it every night". That explains the eyes and it seems you've witnessed it first hand. I stayed behind afterwards and the band mingled with the audience. I was hoping to meet them but a friend(?) I hadn't seen for a long time collared me and I couldn't break free from him. What's more, he was boring me to death by speaking unkindly about mutual friends. He really is a nasty piece of work and he could see I was trying to get away so he got further in my face. Yuch! Anyway, John Beck is awesome and I was also really impressed with Lee Pomoroy the new bass guitarist. There wasn't a second in the show when he didn't have a smile on his face. He clearly loves playing those challenging basslines with It Bites. There is life after Francis Dunnery after all!!!

Talking of which, Francis ain't too bad either!!!

Yes Mott were great, when you consider how long its been since these guys have played together, its quite amazing. I know they rehearsed for 5 weeks and did a couple of warm up gigs in a small theatre before they did the 5 shows in London but  just remember it would have been 1973 when this line up last played live.  I was sitting next to a guy who had flown over from Denmark to London to see 2 of the shows and he said it was worth the trip. A good friend of mine had a ticket for the Saturday night show, loved it so much he went out and got tickets for the next 2 nights as well lol...

Some of the people spotted in the audience over the 5 nights included. Morgan Fisher, Joe Elliot, Mick Jones from The Clash, Dave Gilmour, and the band thanked Jimmy Page for comming, Rick Parfitt was also sighted....No doubt there were loads more musicians in attendence.

I missed out on the Mott re-union but I can imagine it was great. Ian Hunter always impressed me and All The Young Dudes would be worth the ticket price on its own. I love that song, one of Bowie's best. Glad you enjoyed it!!

Hey,

I know Chicago is considered by many to be the Home of The Blues, that being said, I was listening to Sirius radio, my free subscription is ending in a few days, and I heard Bob Dylan's show. He played:

Lose Your Blues And Laugh At Life - Jimmie Revard & His Oklahoma Playboys

Great song. later I played Kenny Rogers & The First Edition version of "I Just Dropped In To See what Condition My Condition Was In." In 1998, the song appeared virtually in its entirety (with the bridge and the final few seconds of the fade out cut off) during a psychedelic dream sequence in the cult film The Big Lebowski. A clip of the song is also the background music for the main menu of the collector's edition DVD.

Bad Moon Rising - CCR

Big Brother - Rare Earth - In Concert & later I played the CRA's version.

Peace,

Chicago Tommy

In *repeat mode*, mind you:




The *ONLY* way to hear this masterpiece from The Much Regretted Mister White (G.R.H.S.) is in its FULL-LENGTH UNCUT GLORY!

I earnestly hope that the folks at Universal Music *shall* one day re-issue this gem as such..

And even *if* The Esteemed Wise One, Harry Weinger, Keeper Of The Flame at Motown has *no* decision making jurisdiction over *this* tune (Barry was with 20th Century when this came out...and now the 20th material is owned by Mercury at Universal) he *CAN* talk to his colleagues at Universal and mebbe drop a friendly hint or two, yes??

Talking of Mr.White, I am playing in very heavy rotation Hall and Oates 2005 covers album "Our kind of Soul" which contains a killer version of Can't get enough of your love". The stand out track on the disc is Dan Hartmans "I can dream about you" a song that Dan wrote for H & O back in the day, but the guys only got round to cut it for this release...

This CD is awesome, I have never heard Daryl sounding better.....19 tracks of singing at its very best...

Ewwwwww...

As an aside, I wonder if *you* had the same arguments/debates with *your* classmates & childhood chums over Who-Could-Whip-Whom-In-A-Fight: Ultraman or The Flying Robot.

More than a *few* of us were of the opinion that Ultraman ("UotaroMan" in his native Japanese) would've beaten The Giant Robot's tail...after all, The Robot had to make those gesticulations and such to unleash his weaponry, during that time Ultra would've done a Ray ("Boom-Boom") Mancini on Robot before you could say "Warren Kremer".

It's a *huge* pleasure to listen to these, as well as LOTS of other television Signature Tunes (*Sigh*...I *miss* Ronnie ["Are You Being Served?" Hazelhurst!)...when I had a VCR (This series is *not* available on DVD....*yet!) I used to W-E-A-R O-U-T the copies of the tapings of the programmes just to hear the Signature Tune (Ditto with the Alvin Lee & Ten Years After WOODSTOCK performance of "I'm Goin' Home"..)

Ennyroad, I just wanna *share*...so ENJOY, Doc!

I can hear the chomping from here!! All we are getting is rain rain and more rain. Its hammering it down again right at this minute. We've had 50 consecutive days of it apparently. however, this is supposed to be the turning point and we are likely to turn colder and frosty at long last. Who knows, I might be chomping too very shortly smile.

oops Weather chatting againno

Rainy season? Be thankful it isn't all snow,just think if it was you would  have to dig a tunnel in order to get out of the house.Today I spent 6 hrs shoveling the damn stuff, it was the wet heavy kind.I got started at 6am and finished just before noon.So I sit here this evening hoping it does not snow again until I get some of my energy back, listening to ZZ Topp's  XXX  with a cold adult beveragebiggrin in my hand. Have a Fullers for me, didn't you say they made Jack Frost beer? If so have one of those.smilecatch ya later!

Not seen Jack Frost in the shops / bars yet this year...yet. Maybe January?

6 hours? I can understand the chomping. Maybe there are some advantages for those living in a tower block at times like this :)

Huey Lewis????

Hey Al, I always loved Huey and the boys. I've seen them at least 4 times live and they never disappoint. Many people write them off as being soft but once they catch the band live they soon change their views. Favourite album is Small World.

I discovered this new progressive rock band, called "I.N.", short for "Intrinsic Nature" that I have listening to, on You Tube.  You can tell that they favor the sounds of  ELP, early Genesis, etc.  I also just found a rare recording of "Nowhere to Run" , the Martha Reeves and the Vandella's hit, without  the voices, on You Tube. Made an MP3 of it, I like it so well.

When ONLY the 12" Extended Version (As it is called in Europe) will do....





Or, as SOME fiefdoms (Namely in The States) call it, The Dance Mix....

And to this very day, SOME locales STILL issue somethin' like this as..."A DSICO-SINGLE!"

No disco, eh?

Very well....here's one fer the Prog Rock fiefdom who lives by the Holy Creed that Thou-Shalt-Not-Play-ANY-Short-Edited-or-Otherwise-Truncated-Slash-Censored-Version-Of-A-Seven-Minute-Plus-Masterpeice-ONLY-In-Its-Full-Length-Uncut-Glory.

Such as choice #3 that Big Al put here (See above)

THIS one comes from the famed E.M.I. - HARVEST label, and was the trio's *only* LP fro 1971...though the Eponymous QUATERMASS LP *DID* get a reissue in the late 1970's on the HERITAGE greatest hits series.

The International Perspective Hour (or parts thereof):

From Belgium, a electro-techno-metal-pop trio called The YOUNG GODS, with "L'eau Rouge" (1989)...get yer own BERLITZ translation guides if ya need 'em...but the gist of the lyrics is about the fella loving making love to his woman when she's, uh, menstruating (hence the title and the chorus "The One That All The Men Say....Burns"..)









The SADISTIC MIKA BAND from Japan, and the tune "TIME MACHINE"  from their sophomore release "BLACK SHIP" (1975). That album, featuring this track (Side "A"- Cut 2) was produced by CHRIS THOMAS (ROXY MUSIC, INXS, The BEATLES, KOKOMO), and was led by vocalist MIKA KATOH and her then-husband KAZUHIKO KATOH. (Who committed suicide in October 2009).

Once again, the BERLITZ guides are gonna be YOUR responsibility!










And, in step with tryin' to keep it in the MOTOWN family:

Andre Lewis best known to his fans as the helmet-masked MANDRE, with his God-like touch on all things synth & keyboard, released 3 FAB albums on MOTOWN in the 1970's, and even toured with RARE EARTH & PLATINUM HOOK in 1978. Believe it or not, MANDRE was a BIG hit with the College Stoners Back-In-The-Day. At least they were in MY fiefdom, at DePaul & Northwestern in Chicago.

He also lent a hand to works by other giants at The HITSVILE Empire, such as DIANA ROSS & MARVIN GAYE, and TATA VEGA.


These two masterpieces are from his sophomore LP.

Originally Side "A"-Side, Track 3, a *very* excellent rendition of STEPHEN STILLS' "FAIR GAME":




The closing cut ("B"-Side, Track 4), "DOING NOTHING, NOTHING DOING" ... as one of the magazineadverts said, MANDRE was (And still is, IMHO) AHEAD OF THIS TIME:

Dunno about any of you True Believers for The World Outside Of The United Kingdom (Sometimes I think I'm the ONLY Stateside fella that digs this'n), but this was (And still *is*) a GIVEN hit dance classic.

Comprised of TONY O'MALLEY, FRANK COLLINS, DYAN BURCH, PADDY McHUCH, MEL COLLINS, JIM MULLEN, NEIL HUBBARD, TERRY STANNARD, and The Much Regretted ALAN SPENNER, for this 1975 recording only, KOKOMO threw down a SUPERB rendition of BOBBY WOMACK's "I CAN UNDERSTAND IT"

Back in High School, all of my classmates used to deride Yours Truly's devotion to this jam by describing the first part as a hybrid between....Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Average White Band, and.............The Partridge Familydisbelief....and then segueing into (in their words) "Hard Disco"


Still & all, this is...to this day...my ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE by the band!




Okay, folksies....sing along with me, all together with FEELING:

I'm H-A-P-P-Y....yes, I am..I KNOW I am!

I'm H-A-P-P-Y....Yes, I am..I KNOW I am!

I'M H-A-P-P-Y...YES I AM! I KNOW I AM!!

One last entry into the till before I call it a day (or "night", as the case may be..) and settle in watching the WGN News(Chicago), FOX News (Denver) & BBC News (on PBS)...

The closing track from The UNDISPUTED TRUTH'S 1975 Motown LP, "COSMIC TRUTH"....an' doncha' just dig how The Much Regretted NORMAN WHITFIELD reutilized the spacey echo vocal intro that was used in the same hit in 1970 for Pete & Co.?

The famed classic "(I Know) I'M LOSING YOU"




P.S. - I neglected to include the lovely JODIE LINSCOTT in the 1975 KOKOMO line-up...which, for "I CAN UNDERSTAND IT", also included guest artiste ANNE-ELOISE ODELL on ARP synthesiser

Jack Frost is around apparently, but I've not see any this year. According to Fullers website:

Currently Available
December / January: Jack Frost

Brewed with Crystal malt and a dash of blackberries, Jack Frost delivers a fruity, robust yet refreshing flavour that lingers long on the palate.

By my reckoning that only leaves me about 7 days to locate some furious

Sorry folks, me and Al are talking beer again. Oh, and the snow has gone at least for the time being.

Hey you guys are making me feel thirsty lol... I recently bought a DVD of The Spinners, so I have been in a BIG Spinners mood all week... So I was chilling this afternoon to the brilliant 2 cd Atlantic Anthology set on them, and by total contrast this evening I have been listening to Clapton, Montrose, Doobies and Bad Company...

Who knows what tomorrow might bring music wise lol..........

Both from the 1976 Double-LP-and-a-half "SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE" by STEVIE WONDER:

First  the gem "ANOTHER STAR" (The conclusion to the proper Side 4 part of the LP), this guest stars HUNGRIA CARMELO GARCIA on timbales, as previously heard on congas from "IT'S BEEN OH SO LONG" by the 1974 Motown band he served in, "RIOT":




Second, from the "Something Extra" EP of said album. Cut 1, Side "A": "ALL-DAY SUCKER" featuring some BITCHIN' axemeister work from one W.G. "SNUFFY" WALDEN, who also had a MOTOWN connection apart from this; In 1975, MOTOWN distributed the Custom Label MANTICORE, devised by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. One LP, entitled "While You're Down There" , by Walden's Los Angeles-based band "STRAY DOG", came out under the Manticore umbrella in 1975. You'll OVE it...once you FIND it!biggrin

Two ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA RAVE-FAVES of mine from Back In The Day...

Mebbe representing a genre that you Fellow True Believers may *not* be into...but these are soooooooooooooooooooooo hlarious! FUN!

"CHICKEN TRAIN" - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

From their Eponymous 1973 debut LP on A&M. That LP, of course, spawned the big hit "If Ya Wanna Git T'Heaven"..Hilarious!




"UNEASY RIDER" - Charlie Daniels

From his 1971 debut LP, "HONEY IN THE ROCK" * on Kama Sutra. Daniels is best known for his mammoth 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".

Now, is *this* like, Ahead-Of-Its-Time RAP? That's passing itself off as Country-In Disguise? Or just a funny ditty with a wee bit of sociopolitical message offering? YOU decide fer yerselves, m8's...

By the way, extend Get-Well wishes to Mr. Daniels to-day; You see, he suffered a minor stroke this past weekend. But, true trooper that he is...he still plans to tour this Summer.

In any case, a real side-splitter, as well....



ENJOY, m8's......

One last Dark Horse *Under The Wire* Entry before I tune into the evening news & "Family Guy" & then turn in for the night:

"GIMME MY MULE" - The COMMODORES

From the 1975 Motown LP "Hot On The Tracks", produced by James Carmichael and The Commodores (Carmichael is best-known for co-producing a masterpiec e of an LP in 1977 for Pete, Gil, Ed & Co. biggrin)

The lyric, of course, makes references to the historical 1865 speech by General Sherman, promising every freed slave family "40 acres of confiscated land and an Army mule".

This NEEDS to see NEW LIFE on CD. Talk to The ESTEEMED WISE ONE, Harry Weinger, KEEPER OF THE FLAME at Motown about it one day, eh?









* - Post Script in re: Charlie Daniels & "Uneasy Rider": The "Honey In The Rock" LP was later re-released on Epic Records in 1973, when CBS bought out Daniel's Kama Sutra contract.

Great track Martin. Boy are you lot turning out some gems. I'm beginning to feel that my Motown musical education contains some big gaps.

This one is one of my ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE from the days when the infant eye of MTV first opened. Ironically I saw the original clip on WFLD TV-32 back home in Chicago in 1981 (It was a syndciated hour long programme called The M.V.-3 [NOT to be confused or associated with The MI-5biggrin]) 

Enyyhoo, this comes from an alumnus from the famed IAN DURY & The BLOCKHEADS..his name, CAHZ JANKEL, and the jam...is the title track from his 1981 LP...Track 4, Side "B"...  "QUESTIONNAIRE"


Version One




Version Two



By the way, this is comes to ya in TWO versions; The 1st is merely a still of the LP sleeve front; The 2nd one is the video that was, then, VERY ahead of its time.

There IS an alternate (2nd) version of this video (Screened on said TV programme)with some American-animated footage interspersed in places....in particular a Black-And-White scene - reminiscent of the old FLEISCHER BROTHERS films of the '30's - '40's - ably animtaed by CARL OSOLIN & JOSEPH FILICKO

Oh, yes, and to BIG AL in CANADA......I *did* pick up my FIRST copy in London, Ontario back then...and I bet that *you* were disco-ing and boogieing to that jam, too, werntcha?

Ennyroad, everybody ENJOY!!!!!

One thing I *did* wish to make clear earlier:


The MARTIN B. TARAS Revue wrote:

KOKOMO  - "I CAN UNDERSTAND IT"

Back in High School, all of my classmates used to deride Yours Truly's devotion to this jam by describing the first part as a hybrid between....Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Average White Band, and.............The Partridge Familydisbelief....and then segueing into (in their words) "Hard Disco"



For those of you who *did* query (And I'm sure some of you *do*..), my schoolchums *did* know that *the* Prime Time (7-8 P.M.) TV block ALWAYS consisted of "The BRADY BUNCH" and "The PATRIDGE FAMILY"...so that so-called 'aspersion' that they attempted to cast twoards MY song, was, in fact, a COMPLIMENT!

Ennyoad...







Three from that bombasticiest of bombastic Early 70's groups...R.L. ("Bobby") HARRISON, MICKY MOODY, TERRY POPPLE, PETER SOLLEY, & COLIN GIBSON....SNAFU

From the Eponymous 1972 LP debut - a STERLING cover of KENNY GAMBLE & LEON HUFF'S jam "DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE" (origianlly on JOE SIMON)



For those who care, this...along with the bulk of the original LP's tracks...is now featured in a 2-CD reissue from ANGEL-AIR, with several of the tracks treated to a *very* radical remix..this one for example crashes right in at the beginning, as opposed to the original vinyl's fade-in heard here in this clip.




"LOCK AND KEY" (Version One, 1974) - From the sophomore relase "SITUATION NORMAL"




"LOCK AND KEY" (Version Two, 1975) - From the third (& final?) LP "ALL FUNKED UP"




Note that PETER SOLLEY appears here in name *only* - as co-composer of this tune
with HARRISON & MOODY; He was replaced on this LP by 2 keyboardists, BRYAN CHATTON & TIM HNCKLEY

IMHO, for *my* money Version 1 is the BEST one...though Version 2 kinda grows on ya after a few decades....

So which fave is YOURS?











And now...For BIG AL Of CANADA EXCLUSIVELY! (Kinda...)

"WELLS FARGO" - BABE RUTH from their UBER-MEGA-ULTRA SUPERB 1972 debut LP "FIRST BASE" (If I'm not mistaken, "WELLS FARGO" burned uupthe airwaves up in The Provinces & territories Back In The Day, yes?






The FINALE (for now, anyway)

From Fellow Detroiters (For PETE & CO. that is, not me..) DON WAS & DAVE WAS, collectively known as WAS (Not Was), and their excellent...and highly underrated 1981 LP "BORN TO LAUGH AT TORNADOES" and the very esoteric and brilliant gem, featurinf Special Guest MARSHALL CRENSHAW, "THE PARTY BROKE UP" ..




And so....that's it from us here at Cartoon Central. Now it's dinner and a movie for me and my gal. We plan to see "SKIN"...based on a true story in Apartheid-era South Africa. I know it's gonna be DEEP!

At last, Fullers Jack Frost has arrived on the shelves. I bought 3 bottles which won't be around for very long :)

Dave  How was the Jack Frost?

While driving my wife to work today I passed a corral with four horses standing up against the fence and the first thing that came to mind was the  cover of a James Gang album with three horses tied up outside Carnegie Hall. So as I type this James Gang - Live In Concert is spinning.Earlier today it was Huey Lewis And The News - Picture This.

One Jack Frost down, two to go. I guess I must be slowing down :)

Picture This is good HLN album. My fave Huey album is Small World. The boys are currently working on an album of Stax covers. The need to create an authentic sound has made them steer clear of the more obvious hits from the label because they felt it would just be like issuing a copy of the originals. The project is shaping up well apparently. They did a similar thing in the 90s when they recorded Four Chords and Several Years Ago. It included great versions of Shorty Long's Function at the Junction, Don Covay's Better to have and Not Need and my personal favourite, an ace version of Good Morning Little Schoolgirl by, err sorry, you'll have to tell me! Oh yeah, Sonny Boy Williamson.

I caught a gig on the Four Chords tour and the section where they did these covers was out of this world. It's a shame that so many people write Huey Lewis and The News off as boring and lightweights. Not true. I've taken friends to see them who thought exactly that. They were sold on the band within 60 seconds of them striking up. What's more, there's lots of life in the not so old dogs yet.

The film *exceeded* my expectations...

Disturbing, appalling & disgusting in *lots* of areas...for *obvious* reasons..

But...an *important* and *valid* slice of history that, like WWI, WWII, et al...MUST be documented, recorded, AND paid *great* attention to!

As for the Trailer Park Boys...sounds like they might kinda sorta mebbe...be some relatives of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (NOT a telly series....but a renowned underground comic book series that is STILL looked at to being a feature film for the future..)

Is the series CBC? Global? or what?






Ennyroad, back to our show:



From Mandre's eponymous 1977 Motown debut, the gem that first put 'im on th' map:

"OPUS I (SOLAR FLIGHT)"




And, keeping within the tradition at MOTOWN, with giving a hand to fellow Hitsville Empire Minions Back-In-The-Day..

Mandre (Under his Civilian Alias of Andre Lewis) provided arrangement assistance for the 1978 re-do of the 1974 LEONARD CASTON composition "I'LL KEEP MY LIGHT IN MY WINDOW"

As an aside, Keyboardist CASTON made his MOTOWN debut on The RARE EARTH label (Well, what else BUT?!?) in the ensemble The GOD SQUAD Featuring LEAONARD CASTON for the one-off 1971 LP "JESUS CHRIST'S GREATEST HITS"

The original version of "LIGHT" appeared on CASTON's 2nd MOTOWN endeavour "CASTON & MAJORS"  in 1974. The "MAJORS" in question is CAROLYN MAJORS (Mrs. CASTON)







Led by ROY WOOD, and soon to transmogrify - with the assistance of future member JEFF LYNNE - into what would be The ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, The MOVE, with the **VERY** SYD BARRETT-ish classic from 1968 : "(Here We Go 'Round) The LEMON TREE"






From Suburban Cleveland, Ohio...one of the FEW things of ANY distinction to come from THAT area...Two from the Early 1970's powerpop band led by classically-trained impressario ERIC CARMEN, The RASPBERRIES...

"I WANNA BE WITH YOU" (You should excuse the ****-ups in the printed lyrics...this is not me, but rather from the *original* video contributor...Of course, he *MEANS* well!)











"(Please) GO ALL THE WAY"










And finally,

From the eponymous 1977 debut LP by the showband comprised of RAT SCABIES (LOVE that name!!), DAVE VANIAN, CAPTAIN SENSIBLE, & BRIAN JAMES 

"STAB YOR BACK"  - A nice, neat ,simple under-a-minute ditty by THE DAMNED!

This offering, which I cannot recall if I'd presented prior, is from the 1960's ensemble from The HITSVILLE Empire, The MONITORS. Most famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) for their late '60's re-do of fellow MOTOWN mates, The VALADIERS' "(Greetings) THIS IS UNCLE SAM"

Member RICHARD STREET, who doubled his income by serving in QUALITY CONTROL at MOTOWN, later was drafted into service with The TEMPTATIONS. Unable to find a suitable replacement, The MONITORS, sadly, disbanded.

As an aside, the striking thing about THIS gem, "CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU" (1966)...is how MUCH it sounds VERY much like something that the 1970's band WAR mighta done; The thing is...THAT band wouldn't come into existence for ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! 

























This little ditty comes from a CLASSIC BUBBLEGUM BAND, based on a Saturday Morning Animated telly series of the 1960's & 1970's, which was based on a series of classic comic magazines and a comic strip of the 1940's to the present.

"BANG-SHANG-A-LANG" by The ARCHIES

This features RON DANTE  as "Archie"'s lead vocal...other notable musicians and vocalists have over the years included HUGH McCRACKEN, CHUCK RAINEY and even Country-And-Western humourist & punster RAY STEVENS.







THIS UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE o'mine...is, perhaps, the ONLY acoustic ditty that NEEDS to be played at NO LESS THAN VOLUME TEN! Understandable, considering it *does* come from none other than LED ZEPPELIN.

"POOR TOM" - incidentally - was the song that I met The Love Of My Life, Mellisa to; She was dancing to it on the stereo of a Youth Club when I first saw her...wearing hot pants, a sky blue T-shirt, and...this bit FLOORED me...ankle length 'baby' socks and saddle shoes.

'Nuff Said...YOW!!!












From the legendary Bluegrass duo of FLATT & SCRUGGS (With The FOGGY MOUNTAIN BOYS), comes "FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN", kinda sorta like an ANTHEM for Bluegrass & all things Country, really...and if it *does* sound familiar toa lotta ya...that's 'cause it was in the soundtrack of the cinema classic "BONNIE & CLYDE"








BECK - he only uses his FIRST name (Full name : BECK HANSEN), so he's NOT to be confused with the ace axemeister with the same LAST name - throws down with this UBER-MEGA-ULTRA CUTTING EDGE gig, "THE NEW POLLUTION".. It caught MY attention because the basic rhythmic undercurrent sounds SO VERY MUCH like a certain classic jam from 1969, that runs about 20+ minutes or so....whadda YOU think?

"Like a whipcrack, sending me shivers".....YOW!  Like, that's DEEP!











The RUBINOOS were a West Coast (San Franscisco) based power pop ensemble, led by JON RUBIN...and were on the BERSERKLEY label (A pun on the label's home, Berkeley), distributed by CBS. This is from their eponymous 1977 debut LP, and the final cut of the "A"-Side, "ROCK AND ROLL IS DEAD (And We Don't Care!)"

 





A timeless classic from the Grand Dame of Classic Pop, PEGGY LEE (G.R.H.S.), and an ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE o'mine, not to mention being rather deep, philosophical and pondering, "IS THAT ALL THERE IS?"








From 1970's axemeister ensemble RAM JAM, and their throwdown 1977 classic "BLACK BETTY", a cover of a Blues/Folk ditty by HUDDIE LEDBETTER, better known to the masses as LEADBELLY.






Nigerian-born, London-raised drummer & percussionist GASPAR LAWAL (We all heard him prior on BABE RUTH's "WELLS FARGO" playing congas & bongoes) with his funky jam "KITA KITA"





 THIS BULLETIN *JUST IN!!*


I will not be able to provide any more posts of goodies for a while....as the NEW gig I am about to embark on....to help the earthquake victims of Haiti.....is gonna take up ALL of my time. Sooner or later, I'm sure you will understand.

We are doing a benefit effort called 'TOON AID II" - The original one was for the Tsunami victims some time back.

This one is gonna be taking place Valentine's Day Weekend, in Los Angeles; The venue to be announced later.

Along with showing feature length animated films such as "HEY, THERE, IT'S YOGI BEAR", "The BEATLES : YELLOW SUBMARINE", "A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN", The BUGS BUNNY-ROAD RUNNER MOVIE", "The POWERPUFF GIRLS Movie" and others...we shall be performing a one-off "We Are The World"-inspired singalong, originally done in 1985 by the Canadian All-Star ensemble NORTHERN LIGHTS, the BRYAN ADANS, JIM VALLANCE, & DAVID FOSTER-composed masterpiece TEARS ARE NOT ENOUGH". (Are ya LISTENING, BIG AL from CANADA?!?)The FINAL line-up isn't complete...but the CONFIRMED contributors shall be:

RON DANTE

LOU HIRSCH ('Arnie' from BBC's "MY HERO" & 'Baby Herman' from Walt Disney's "ROGER RABBBIT")
