it's been a while since AL has done these.
-
Come AWN, baby! Let's do "The Twist" with Chubby. Or pop a chubby while doing the twist. Or something.
-
LAWD! BOS Ray Charles, hittin' da road.
-
OMG! BOS2 Gene Pitney! "Town Without Pity", an Oscar-nominated song from an unlikely film.

-
A voice from the heavens - Roy Orbison, In Dreams BOS3
-
Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri Las BOS4 (Debbie would agree) :)
-
BOS('6)3: The big O, "In Dreams" Damn this is good so far
OTOH, coulda done without "Leader of the Pack"... (my '64 request was Dean Martin, in the hopes that a nice Eye-talian girl like AL wouldn't be able to resist).
-
BOS4 Byrds -- how fresh this sound was in 1965 cannot be overstated.
-
predictable but lovely: '66 gives us the late Mr Hebb's "Sunny". VHM.
-
I probably never need to hear "The Beat Goes On" again until I'm 75. 'lectrically we keep our BOS score.
-
Gotta chime in ... BOS Beatles -- Woo Hoo -- one of my all-time favorite rockin' "turn it up louder" songs!!
-
BOS5 the orig B-side-of-"Hey Jude" version of "Revolution".

hope we can get AL to play the FYC version someday.

I'm loving this one. It's got some well-worn classics, but it started off in such a fine way that I'm feeling them all.
re: Sonny & Cher, "The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh" is a great line. says a lot about the nation's post war development, and urban sprawl in particular.
Perhaps I'm thinking about that sort of thing b/c the Transbay Terminal is now closed for good (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/08/06/MN9R1EOVTG.DTL). The last bus left early Saturday morning. It's not that I liked the building that much - it was dismal, urine-stained, not-so-great-architecturally designed -- but after WWII American got into their cars and started driving everywhere. We had to: The trains no longer went to where we lived/worked! The Terminal changed from a train terminal to a bus top within 20 years after it opened in 1939.
anyway, BOS to Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, The Pelvis, Sonny & Cher .. the whole lot, WTF.
