Post by: RGMike on July 17, 2009, 09:43:47 AM
Unless AL has a theme set on tap (maybe we get the "moon" thing today?), our choices today boil down to

1972
1973
1981
1983
1986
1988
1991
1996
1998

Yup, Dave used to do "The 50's" now and then.  Not my favorite, to be sure, but good for variation.  It's been many years since the 50's turned up on the wheel.

Not in my memory. I think back in the early days (early to mid 80s) it may have.

Dave did a '60s VT last year, iirc.  And sets used to go back to the early '60s when 10@10 first started; Dave also used to do "'50s Fridays"

There was apparently a famous Dave segue in a '63 set: tape of the JFK shooting, someone asks what direction the shots came from and the Drifters sing "Up on the Roof"!

"Green Onions" is from 62?  I had no idea.

Slight shocker: Del Shannon, Runaway is actually showing up on the player, as is Booker T & the MGs.

Green Onions is from '62? I thought it was more a mid-60s tune.

ETA: Yep, according to Whitburn it entered the charts on Sept 1, 1962. I'll be gah-damned.

Speaking of the beach, my wife inexplicably got "Beach Blanket Bingo" at the library yesterday.  We watched it last night -- really cringeworthy, including a really sad appearance by a very old Buster Keaton.

I'd forgotten he did one, but you're absolutely right. October 10, 2007, to be specific. Only one artist common to both. (This one went from 61 to 70.)

if KFOG actually *had* a PD, maybe ;) Don't think they've replaced Benson yet; one guy's running KFOG/da Bone/KNBR/The Ticket. But I'm guessing AL's gotten a lot of "make it your own but don't reinvent the wheel, either" feedback.  We're hearing a lot more of the drop-ins and jingles Dave used lately; they were absent the first few weeks of AL's reign.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of the choral year-ID bumpers and such are back. Not a bad call. Give the longtime 10@10 fans something familiar to latch onto, and since Don Pardo is now retired too, that eliminates a lot of old clips right off the top.

Whew--wikipedia's essay agrees with what I'd heard was their reasoning. Which is that "Beau Brummel" follows "Beatles" alphabetically, and therefore, would put their records right after the Fab Four's in record store bins, thus resulting in more sales. Or that was the theory, anyway.

I decided to leave my comment up when I saw yours, as I was making a direct pun on pants, with the surf version!  But point taken.  Sometimes when you can't post during the set, things get passed over!
