Hi Erica!

I remembered your request!

Oh hey that's great. It was a suggestion but thanks!

No probs!

Good evening from Wisconsin!

Orpheus. I've heard one of their songs but not this one before.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:14pm
Funky16Corners:

Really interesting group from Boston
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:21pm
Erica:

Thanks for taking my request Larry. Their first couple albums contain (scratch that) ARE rare gems compared to their hits like "Summer Breeze" or "Get Closer".
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:22pm
Funky16Corners:

My pleasure. If I have it, and it fits in with the theme I'm more than happy to do a little shuffling.

Evening! That last one was pretty, uh... not sure of the adjective… melodramatic maybe?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey rw! Not as melodramatic as the original by Tim Buckley.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
Funky16Corners:

On might say that Tim had a tendency toward histrioinics.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
Funky16Corners:

HISTRIONICS...I cannot/should not type after 10PM

Heading out to pick up my daughter from the airport. Will be listening from the road. Thanks Larry and take care all!

Nite rw! Safe travels!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm

Anybody out there? You're all so quiet tonight.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:09pm
Erica:

I know. I was wondering the same thing.
  11:09pm
Dean:

I'm here, listening in and out between domestic episodes.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Dean!
  11:22pm
Dean:

Can't say I remember the arrival of this Dave Mason album--as opposed to, say, 1974's eponymous record--but I do remember its ubiquity. It was always there, and I always almost bought it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
Funky16Corners:

It's a great record. I was led to it by the appearance of two of its songs on the live Traffic LP 'Welcome To the Canteen'. 'Alone Together' was recorded with a bunch of Leon Russell's crew.
  11:25pm
still b/p:

Wanted to sit on steps of cabin a while longer with crickets and warm night, but also wanted some Testimony before sleep. Glad you're here/there.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:26pm
Erica:

My favorite album by Dave Mason is Let It Flow, mainly for the title track "Let It Go Let It Flow" and the hit song "We Just Disagree". I've listened to some of his earlier stuff too but it's a bit too blusey for me. Reminds me of the Allman Brothers Band.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey SBP! I also enjoy the (natural) sounds of the summer night.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I think Dave is underrated, from Traffic, on.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:28pm
Erica:

I've also been listening to Jim Capaldi's stuff too. He was also a member of Traffic and his stuff is more folky than Dave's.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:29pm
Erica:

Funky and jazzy too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Funky16Corners:

Capaldi did some nice singing with Traffic. It gets lost in all the Winwood.
  11:31pm
Dean:

Not to discount Winwood. I'm not a fan of his late '70s and '80s pop, but I do enjoy the stuff he did with Stomu Yamashta.

Greetings, Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey NGH!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@DEan - I like Winwood a lot. I just think because his contributions are so prominent that Capaldi kind of gets lost in the shuffle
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:32pm
Erica:

His 80's stuff is popular amongst Soft AC fans. What about the Spencer Davis Group Larry?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Love his stuff with Spencer Davis!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Aside from the big hits there are some great R&B/soul covers and a couple of very cool organ instrumentals
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Jeff Ash:

I must take my leave. Thanks, Larry!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:34pm
Erica:

Did you know that the UK version of "Gimmie Some Lovin'" does NOT feature the crowd or backup singers? Sounds pretty bland without that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Funky16Corners:

Nite Jeff!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:35pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I don't think I've ever heard that version
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:36pm
Erica:

I heard it on British radio before. I will send a link later if you like.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, please!
  11:38pm
Doug Schulkind:

So much groovy, Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doug!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:41pm
Erica:

According to songfacts.com, producer Jimmy Miller "made the US release more appealing to American taste by adding percussion and a female chorus."
  11:46pm
still b/p:

Something in the Turnbull track reminded me of Cohen and one of Altman's selections for McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Then while I'm checking on that, something else Leonard this way spins.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:46pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm toying with the ether tonight!
  11:52pm
Dean:

My introduction to Terry Reid was (predictably) via Cheap Trick. "Speak Now..." is epic.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:52pm
Erica:

Here is the link to the UK version of "Gimmie Some Lovin'": www.youtube.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Funky16Corners:

Another guy that ought to be much better known
  11:52pm
Dean:

Come to think of it, it's on the Epic label, too!
  11:53pm
Dean:

Both CT and TR!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 12:00am

Night Larry!

Yes indeed!
