I'm guessing Doodles Weaver's version is not on the list, huh? (The first Dr Demento comp, if you're inclined to make a last minute add.) And there was a hard-prog cover in the early 70s, some eight minutes long, that was nothing if not bombastic.
Avatar Thu. 10/30/14 9:12am d¢ pät:

the wahwah pedal is hilarious though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Thu. 10/30/14 9:12am Caryn:

Maybe Cheri should spend the next 3 hours listening to an archive show? Or, like Ken often advises, just embrace the horror.

There is a 20-minute Jerry Garcia Band version that is actually After Midnight with ER. There is also three minutes of the Dead jamming on the song. The JGB track is kind of great but it is really "After Midnight." ER only has two chords so it's a cool one to build on.

Imagine a world where this was the only song
and against your will
You had to sit and listen to it all day long
Till it made you ill.

Tadpoles you are right. Basie was not on list I came up with

This show was a complete train wreck in terms of my work productivity, but well worth the time I'm going to have to spend in evenings making up for the lost work. Congrats and thanks, Joe.

Just went through my Walter/Wendy albums, and the last one I have where she's Walter was "Switched on Back II" in 1973.

@tadpoles: there's a list of ER covers in release order, but both Basie and Topmost are missing, so it's not complete. But interesting, anyway: www.secondhandsongs.com...

Today's Surface Noise is a testimony to what a near-perfect composition ER is - the diversity of arrangements alone is mind-boggling! Fun show, Joe! Thanks!

Just copy-cataloged a book (a memoir) into the library: a guy draws 20 or 30 pictures of cars, then writes a couple of pages on what he was doing & what drugs he was taking when he bought them. He has not covered Eleanor Rigby to my knowledge but has been known to cover "a day in the life"

No one was spared. Thanks, Joe, for this version of TEST OUR PATIENCE in the name of free form radio. See ya!

@tadpoles: just checked out that Topmost cover was October 4, 1966. I wonder what the date for Basie is?

Elenor Figby was very popular and had a lot of friends!!!
