Kate McGarrigle died of cancer way too young, but her marriage to singer/songwriter Louden Wainwright produced two fine musicians.. Son Rufus, notably, has made quite a career for himself.

Jeff:

I think I might’ve mentioned this before, but just in case…In the beginning of 1974, I took a semester off from college and got a job at Sam Goody’s on 6 Ave (near Radio City). I used to spend my lunch hour hangin’ on the corner checking out Moondog. He dressed like a Viking and had piles of manuscripts and sheet music on the street.

Gerry from Miami:

Sorry, BOB, I had no intention to slight Martha Wainwright's creative output in comparison to her more famous brother's. She is quite a gifted lady in several fields. I just thought your listeners would more easily recognize Rufus. Personally, I prefer the music of Loudon III and the McGarrigle sisters.. Please play more of the whole Wainwright family in the future!

Gerry from Miami:

@dan. Amen to that!

@11:16 @Jeff: That is a great NYC memory, hanging and listening to Moondog. I have similar memories of Bongo Joe in San Antonio TX.
  11:28am
Jeff:

I just watched the David Geffen doc that was done for PBS a while ago. I’ve always been ambivalent about him, but I know realize how hurt he was when Laura didn’t sign with Asylum and stayed with Columbia. I love Laura, but she did betray him. I still love her anyway and don’t even like Geffen. But, he was there for her (all the way) in the beginning. He adored her and knew what a singular talent she was.

I NOW realize!

Hey Bob and sound lovers. Thanks for the tip on "Outer Range" - I do like a sci-fi western. I do like Monk and McGarrigles, too, so I guess I'm in the right place.

Gina, I shazam movies, tv shows, commercials, in supermarkets,in ubers, on the street,etc. Anywhere there's sounds and I wanna know what they are. Hell, sometimes I wanna know what that song is that's annoying me! I also use Sound Hound.
Avatar 11:42am
Bob Brainen:

adamdoesit, interesting show. Music choices are really well done. One episode had a character singing one of my favorite Judee Sill songs and it ended w/a 2nd song by Sill. Plus Moondog, & more.
  11:44am
Gerry from Miami:

I just did an Internet search because I could swear that Laura Nyro's "Save the Country" was featured on the soundtrack of "Mr. Holland's Opus" with Richard Dreyfuss. My memory is that he actually plays the record for his kids. Is my memory accurate or am I losing it? The song is NOT on the OST album, but 12 other pop tunes are.
  11:50am
dan:

Grew up on The Four Seasons. The absolute best.
  11:53am
Gerry from Miami:

Hit machines, that's what the Four Seasons were. Anyone out there got the double album VeeJay issued called "The Beatles vs the Four Seasons?"
  11:54am
Jeff:

Charlie Calello was in that Geffen doc. He’s the link between the Four Seasons and Laura Nyro (and many more). Great arranger!

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 1:13pm
(Mr) Bill:

@Adam: It's been awhile since I've heard Sheila Jordan's reading of "Falling in Love with Love." Thanks for reminding. There's a Julie Andrews recording I've been coming back to lately whenever the news gets too bad to bear. Rebecca Luker's performance on PBS, too....I heard a story about Rosemary Clooney's recording the song as a swing tune. Rodgers heard and hated it, saying, "It's a _waltz_. If she wanted to f*** up a song, why didn't she ruin 'Silent Night'?"
  1:13pm
Gerry from Miami:

I loved Phil Ochs! Got me through my last two years of college. Really into his protest and anti-war songs. Great production on his recordings. Another one taken too young. His brother Michael may have had the finest photo collection of pop, rock, folk and jazz artists ever assembled, the Michael Ochs Archives.

@(Mr) Bill, ha! "Silent Night" should get ruined more often.

@adamdoesit: Ha! right back at ya. Betcha that Rodgers shared your appraisal and had it somewhere in his mind when he took Rosie to task for the misarrangement.

I wonder how popular Fleetwood Mac would’ve been if the intermediate lineup of Fleetwood, Welch and the McVies lasted throughout the 70s.
  1:39pm
Gerry from Miami:

@dan. Buckingham and Nick's came along at just the right time, didn't they? Much preferred that mid-career lineup with Kirwan and Welch, though.

Wynton has his way with "Silent Night."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSnM7Pq7PuM

I don't know, I kinda like the tune.
  1:42pm
Dean:

Damn, Big Jay McNeely. Before his comeback in the '80s (or was it '90s?), he used to play a dive in Santa Fe Springs, CA, when he was a postal delivery guy. We'd head there weekends and revel in the noise. He accepted tips in the bell of his saxophone as he walked from table to table (and sometimes on them). My buddies even got to sit in with him one night. Next thing we know he's playing the Roundhouse in London!

Bob Brainen:

Dean, interesting!

Wish I could remember who played organ for him. She was knockout. One night Big Jay announced that it was the birthday of another horn player in the band, a transvestite whose mom was there to celebrate. The crowd went wild.
