Dave phones home to 1982 <---earlier thread heading

Based on the teaser I think I can safely predict an ET clip today.

ETA:  Either the wrong teaser or Dave just wasn't up for it.

I was gonna predict a '90s set today, so this is actually good news in comparison.  Don't forget the annual "spook-tacular" on Friday.

You know the story that when "Tighten Up" became a hit, Archie Bell had already enlisted in Army, so they got a substitute "Archie Bell" to tour to capitalize on its popularity.

"buttercup" -- more Faux Tops, as it totally rips off "I'll Turn To Stone", melodically. VHM to a great (if overplayed) classic.

Funny thing about this one...I thought it was odd that they were complaining about an American woman when they sounded just as American as you and me.  It was years before I knew they were Canucks.

Rye is a type of whiskey, as is bourbon, Canadian, Irish & Scotch (but those tricky Scots spell it 'whisky' just to be different).  In the first half of the 20th century you had to specify rye or bourbon at your average US drinkery.  Just watch some old Bogart films if you don't believe me - he always ordered rye.

Made up for all the shorties in there--guessing the first four tunes were no more than 2 min 45 apiece. Digging that Dave called an audible and went for the VT tho. Hope he indulges himself whenever he feels like in his remaining weeks.
