Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 24, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

"Summertime" is one of those tunes that I frankly don't like, except for the occasional good cover. Three for three so far here. But I can't help but remember a version on a audiophile stereo test record featuring the spouse of one of the record producers singing the tune. Great recording. Dreadful execution.

"A Head Rings Out" by Blodwyn Pig(with former Jethro Tull member Mick Abrahms) jumped out of the racks at me when first released. That cover!. Good blues rock.

True re book. Which is really the point, Yes Sir.
BlueCheer did not compromise on the Marshall stack to venue size ratio. There had been TheWho & Cream but with the Cheer in SF a threshold was crossed in terms of bathing in sheer Volume for its own sake. TheWho of course refused no challenge for years to come...

@dan. You got it!! "The First Family" record featuring JFK impressionist Vaughn Meader, produced by Bob Booker and Earl Doud. It sold a million copies a week for its first 6 1/2 weeks and spent 12 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart in late 1962 and early 1963. Won the Grammy for Album of the Year. Unfortunately, the untimely assassination of President Kennedy in November of 1963 ruined the rising comedy career of Mr. Meader.
