*running and ducking*

 

[Eddie]

No need to run & duck, Mike. It's a great pop song.

 

[Rosemary]

It is a great pop song. The Cowsills were interesting. They were a family band. The dad had a long career in the Nave, and I think they were based out of Newport, RI. I remember thinking "The Rain..." was so romantic when I was growing up.

What is wrong with those boys' teeth?!

I had forgotten about Rain from the Beatles. It'll make the next iTunes download. I had also forgotten The Rain, The Park, and Everything from the Cowsills. That song will NOT make my next iTunes download.

Here's my contribution to the Rain topic, Beautiful Rain by the BoDeans. Love these guys.

Remember "Hitching A Ride" by Vanity Fair? Evocative of summer as a teenager for me. And "Brandy."

 

[MIke R]

Bankie Banks Radio on Pandora is really knocking out some great tunes on this warm humid pre Memorial Day Friday.... :up:

and yes Rosemary I remember those songs...two great tunes

 

[Voosh]

MikeR,

Got no problem with the Cowsills. Actually, some nice produced shtuff there by them.



And now, I was cruising for some tunes by the Fogerty brothers - this is what showed up?!?!

Now I'm duckin' and hidin'.

Roy Buchanan was a real genius. Only reason I keep a Telecaster around. Check out the other vids on YouTube of him blazing the way.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMcjPZgK9GM




"One of the pioneers of the telecaster sound, he was noted for his use of note bending, volume swells, staccato runs and "pinch" harmonics. He is considered by many to be one of America's most soulful guitar masters, and even 20 years after his death, he maintains an army of devoted fans, including some of rock guitar's greatest (just ask Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson or Billy Gibbons). This performance, captured on the ACL stage on November 15, 1976, shows Roy Buchanan in his prime at the age of 37. Indeed, it may well be the best high-quality audio/video recording of his complete performance known to exist."

Another one of my guitar (Telecaster) heroes - Danny Gatton - RIP.

Nice, Voosh. Roy Buchanan. God bless. "Sooner or Later" here, by the Grass Roots.

 

[Voosh]

Original -


"Originally done by the Evergreen Blues (Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the
Grass Roots' arrangement is more-or-less a note-for-note copy of theirs."

An old Motown friend confirmed that I remembered right about who did that tune originally. Of course, found it on YouTube.
