No guesses today.
Which is good, 'cause I'd have been wrong! BOS1 Mother's Little Helper.
Outside the door...she took four more...

BOS Mr Bubble!

I wanna have a Mr. Bubble pool party! I remember Mr. Bubble. Big pink cardboard box.
BOS for the Syndicate of Sound. I think I'll start a new band that sounds like them and the Byrds and call it Superjangle!

BOS Syndicate of Sound.
They were from San Jose, I think...
-
It's San Jose's own...
BOS2, Hey Little Girl. I am loath to call this a Katrina, except that it appears in two of the three '66 sets in the DB, so it may well be.
OMG! Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs, Little Red Riding Hood! I loved this song when I was 7. Don't think I quite got all the subtext.

A-WOOOOOOOOOO! BOS2 "Little Red Riding Hood"

Back to the garage for Diddy Wah Diddy! Is this Captain Beefheart?

Yep, I believe so. TP & the HBs covered this one nightly when they were doing their mega-run at the Fillmore in '97.
-
four songs about women (or little girls, if you may) so far.
It does sound like Cap'n Beefheart..
-
Wham-o! The sound of young kids crashing to the ground after trying a wheelie!

See CC Rider ride!
-
Diggin' the Wham-O ad. I don't remember the Wheelie Bar, but there were plenty of other Wham-o toys in my childhood--Water Wiggle, Slip 'n Slide, and of course the Frisbee.
The Wheelie Bar would be a lawsuit waiting to happen today. Not to mention a trip to the ER.
-
the Wheelie Bar is hilarious. You can see the whole commercial on YouTube. They never mention that it's really training wheels for trick riding. I wonder why?
-
BOS3 Bobby Fuller Four.

Dave also played this in one of his rare '66 forays, iirc

"Protect your skull with a Wham-O Helmet!"

aw, the ragman draws circles. Crop circles? BOS4 Bobby Z.
-
BOS for Bob, sounding totally different from the rest of the crop.
-

Correct, sir--in December of 2005.
Still another BOS to Zimmy, (Stuck Inside of Mobile With the) Memphis Blues Again.

Happy New Year, Robert!

MBA is the song that spawned a thousand Dylan impersonations.
-
I want to tell you I'm giving BOS5 to the Fab Four.
-
Another BOS for the highly syncopated "I Want to Tell You". Never really noticed that before.
-
Another BOS (yay) for the Beatles (yay). AL pulls off the exceedingly difficult trick of playing a Beatles tune that Dave never did. Bustout o' the day.
-
OMG! BOS6 and proxy of geoff, PP&M.
-
Wow. This is really breaking some new ground. A moment of silence, please, for the late Mary Travers.

No theme here -- from the garage to the coffee house. Getting all folky and weepy here at the end.

too many BOSes to hand out here.
Before I knew this was a Beatles song, I heard Ted Nugent's version

BOS7 S&G

Quite a week we're having here. A killer trip to '79, followed by '66! Can AL keep the streak going?
-
two truly spectacular sets in a row -- I (heart) AL.

yeah, they played at our high school yearbook dance in '68
-
Back to the garage for Diddy Wah Diddy! Is this Captain Beefheart?
This is certainly a freaky bustout!
-

I didn't really recognize the title of the song, so dug it up. I do think I've heard it before, and it was indeed pretty emotional. Ironically, it seems it first came out in 1962 on the first album, but was a charting single in 1966.
-
Sitting here catching up on some work and listening to the replay. Noticed that the segue between See See Rider and I Fought the Law was pretty seamless--as if the two songs were one, almost. Very nicely played, AL.
I still miss Dave, but partly because he we'd gotten comfortable with him and he had that easygoing, avuncular style, and because he obviously loved what he was doing. But as we've figured out, he had his favorites for every year on the wheel, and he was loath to deviate from them more than maybe once or twice a week. She may eventually get into ruts of her own, but for now AL's really shown us how good this concept can be. We're getting to hear up to 6 or 7 songs per set that Dave just wouldn't play. (Maybe it's time to start lobbying again for Baby Got Back...Paging Beej Weir, white courtesy telephone.)
A good example of her autonomy is the fact that this is our second third trip to '66 in just over three months. In the previous 10 years we got only three '66 sets, period. I think we assumed that it was station management putting limits on how far back Dave could go, but why would they restrict him and then turn around and give AL free rein?
The one part I really do miss about Dave's sets is his backsells, with all sorts of asides, comments about callers, occasional stories and factoids, not to mention the outro music w/ Don Pardo. Oh, and also having a final tally for BOS voting at the end of the set. AL's sets often jump from the end of her backsell right into a commercial, and I still find that a little jarring.

I do think the lack of '60s sets from Dave was a management edict -- I remember when he still *did* do '66 regularly in the early-to-mid '90s, it was always a Friday and he clearly liked playing 10 short songs and getting out of the studio at 10:30. There was also that horrible month in '98 or '99 when K-101 went all-'80s and Dave was forced to do an '80s year every day for 3 weeks (*shudder*). KFOG has gone back-and-forth regarding what demographic they're chasing so many times in the past 15 years you could get whiplash. And as we know, KFOG management is "in flux" as they say. Whether somebody at Cumulus came up with the new rotation or whether AL sold them on it, I dunno. But it seems they're doing it on purpose (maybe it helps them compete with "The Band"), and fingers crossed that they don't change directions again for a while.

Sure glad this one showed up on Saturday in the #4 spot. Great set.

They've been tossing up the order for the marathon lately--they aren't in Mon-Fri order. Yesterday '87 was the first set, followed by '72. Not sure what followed.
