Man, Larry, that's a scary story. Glad you are on the mend.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm

Ohh, and that was Joe Bataan doing Crystal Blue. Cool track!
Avatar 10:28pm
geezerette:

Glad you are fit as a fiddle!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey guys! Yes, very scary, though I sat in that mothereffing hospital bed, bored, missing my family, missing my nice cool house, and bummed that I couldn't do the show. But I'm back now, so let's all dig the sounds
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm

Larry be okay that's an order!

- hey g!

Yeah, this is a great version, cool album too

geezerette:

Didn't recognize her! More sunshine. :)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Funky16Corners:

She does a lot of interesting pop covers on this album. It doesn't turn up as much as her earlier, pure bossa nova stuff
Avatar 10:41pm
geezerette:

That brass!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Parq:

Another surprise awaits me on my return to the playlist. Astrud G has always got her own way with a song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, lots of NY studio people (including Ron Dante of the Archies on backing vocals)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Funky16Corners:

I have to go back and see if any of my past shows hasn't included some contribution from Gabor Szabo. He is ubiqitous and omnipresent in my record collection (that's him on guitar)

Enjoying the show! peaceful at 6am here in Finland
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Funky16Corners:

Finland! Wow! Welcome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Parq:

I said on someone else's playlist recently that part of what makes Some Velvet so creepy-cool is wondering just what actually happened to the poor son of a bitch.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:09pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, it is the very definition of enigmatic. Musically experimental, lyrically strange, beautiful yet oddly dangerous.
Avatar 11:10pm
geezerette:

Always makes me think of Manson. Definitely sounds like the dark side of the sixties.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
Funky16Corners:

Hazlewood was tapping into something very strange
Avatar 11:11pm
geezerette:

It's like a small experimental movie.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm
Funky16Corners:

True, and in its own way, high art. There aren't many records close to it

Carmichael:

Heya, 1st time listener for this show. What a great setlist!

Well said, Geez. Agree heartily. And welcome, Carm! You gonna love it.

Hi Carm!

Heya Parq. This is awesome. Putting on my smoking jacket and enjoying a martini with Jack Cassidy.

jeez, geez! haven't thought about that show in several decades. my father watched it when we were little and - knowing about playboy magazines, we were sure there must be nude ladies running around on the telly!
'never did see it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Parq:

Carm, the thought of jack Cassidy sipping a martini is going to warm me all through the night.
Avatar 11:29pm
geezerette:

It's a very odd, stilted show, but Hefner has always been a serious
jazz fan and promoter. Pop too if good.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Funky16Corners:

Lots of good rock music on that show as well. Byrds, Deep Purple, Canned Heat, Sir Douglas Quintet
Avatar 11:32pm
geezerette:

Yes! James Brown and Tom Jones too. Lots on Youtube.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm

I used to have bootleg VHS that I picked up as a record show years ago that had a bunch of stuff from the show

Gorgeous show tonight.

Hefner is still amongst us, i believe... still doing good things, last i knew. (despite that magazine!)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38pm

He's gotta be in his 90s by now
