I wonder what I was doing during Little Wing -- if it was playing, I spaced right through it.

VHM, the Beatles yay.

you'll not see nothing like the Mighty Katrinn(a).  One I've heard a few too many times lately.
Title: who's making love to your old lady
Post by: ggould on August 05, 2005, 08:29:27 AM
kinda racy in the day.  a tipping point in time where "making love" turned from a vague euphemism for something or other romantic, to a more specific sexual thing.

Something like that, it didn't appear on an LP until Decade.

By now you know that it was a Chicago thang, but if you've read Bob's WDRV bio you'd know that the Cryan' Shames are not only still active, but also that Bob moonlights as their lead vocalist!

According to Songfacts.com  http://www.songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=1125  it was 1969.  I have a vivid memory of Morning Glory Music in Isla Vista (The original location) whenever I hear that song, so, if it was 1968, it had to be very late, as I started at UCSB Fall '68.  I suspect Bob got it wrong, but it's hard to say.

I know I should do something other than post here, but my curiosity was piqued!  canoe.ca says: "Singles  1968 Sugar Mountain"  It must have been at the very end of 1968!

OK that makes sense. Bob actually said "recorded in '68" which one of the comments on songfacts.com seems to confirm.

I remember it also being the b-side of either "Heart of Gold" or "Old Man" -- it was on a jukebox in an Italian restaurant in my neighborhood where we ate often, and I recall playing it there.
