Annalisa actually told me that "Popcorn" (my request) popped up in the most recent 1972 set, so I made another selection. I must be catching FB-itis.

WOS Robert John's needless remake of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."  That falsetto was the only tool in his chest, and he wielded it shakily.

Robert John's version of "Lion Sleeps Tonight".  We learned on last weekend's AT40 replay from 11/2/79, that Robert John was one bitter dude after being treated third class by his record company.  For example, he received his gold record for this song unframed in a brown paper bag.

BOS5 Neil on his B-Day. "Are You Ready For The Country" is a nice non-overplayed choice, at least.

uh-oh, spoke too soon -- we're getting "Katrina of Gold" too.

BOS Neil, though I don't have a clear favorite (except for Blue Sky, but I bos'd it last time to 72).

I didn't get in the fb thread early enough to get a j geils request in.  Of course, AL's played a lot of Geils in recent sets, so I doubt it would have happened anyway.

oooh, a Neil twin-spin.  BOS2, Heart of Gold.  Another perfect pop song.

BOS/proxy of geoff, ABB "Blue Sky" --
One of the most perfectly crafted guitar-oriented songs.  Sweet, bouncy, and dead nuts killer guitar!  The overlap/tradeoff between Dickie Betts and Duane Allman is sublime.

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airman, from Marin/Sonoma, I believe.

That's where they were based in the early 70s, but they originally hailed from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

If you want a good look into the music biz in the early 70s as well as an excellent portrait of CC & the LPA, track down a copy of Star Making Machinery by Geoffrey Stokes. Probably long out of print but it should be available in one used book store or another. Or try Powells.com.
