when I was a kid record-hunting at the Salvation Army store,I came across a Spanky and Our Gang album.I was SO excited,thinking it was the soundtrack to the tv show. | |

Jeff:
So, about that Eleni Mandell song a little while ago. Not only did her style of delivery remind me pleasingly of that particularly croony way k.d. lang sometimes gets, I have to say that - because there's just so much stoopid out there - I'm inordinately pleased when a songwriter knows that a light-year is a measure of distance. Sad, eh? | |
|
Sun. 7/15/12 7:23pm
Parq:
T'Scott, surely after you got over your disappointment, you realized you'd found a gem. By the way, were you wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters? | |

Sissy bars are what held the banana seat up in the back! | |

Sun. 7/15/12 7:39pm
ken in denver:
A sissy bar goes behind a banana seat. | |
|
Sun. 7/15/12 7:39pm
Jbates:
They're called ape hangers. Because it looks Like your hanging from tree branches. | |

Parq:
We have had zero-tolerance Noise Police above and below us, though I am relieved to say, not at the same time. Management has a whole file of complaint letters about us. Fortunately, everybody else knows us well enough that we aren't in serious danger of official hassle. We do nonetheless keep on display in our apt a mail-card with a photo of the broker who sold our downstairs neighbors' apt. so they could move to the suburbs where they belong. | |

tomB:
Banana refers to the seat on a Stingray bike, n'est-ce pas? Is that a '65-'66 Chevy in the garage? | |
|
Sun. 7/15/12 7:46pm
Dafydd:
Pontiac and probably 1967 | |

Jbates:
@parq: not at the same time? That seems to make noise at any time pretty hatd | |
|
Sun. 7/15/12 7:48pm
Jeff:
Yeah, I think "Stingray" was the whole bike, not just the handlebars thereon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting-Ray#Child_and_youth_markets | |

Can parq act out this song in his apt? | |

That bike reminds me of the neato German bike I watched this week on http://youtu.be/tViGRhZrj60 -- powered by arms and legs. Like a rower, sorta? | |

1977 lived in the Earle Hotel on Waverly Place and McDoodle :) now called the Washington Square Hotel I think. Joan Baez sang it in "Diamonds and Rust" as "That lousy hotel over Washington Square". Anyway lived there for a couple years at $75 a month (shared bath). Very interesting neighbors came and went. Experienced alot for a 20 year old. Topic just flooded the old brain. Sorry for few details. Love your show! The seat is the banana. The high bars are Ape Hangers. | |

I once had a neighbor who worked nights. The act of me coming home and closing the door would elicit banging on the walls. If I had the stereo on during the day, the cops would show up because of noise complaints. Shees. | |
