The Peak, 10/24/06: It's 1976
« on: October 24, 2006, 07:14:14 AM »
I missed RGMike fave Garland Jeffreys but arrived in time for the Armatrading "Down to Zero," followed by a Living Thing.  I'm takin' a dive!

I rarely get to turn on the Peak while getting up in the morning, but what a treat to hear this the first time in months that I was able to do so.

Hey Joe, my son Adrian is listening and this is one of his very most favorite songs.  He doesn't think you remember him. He wants to know what your avatar comes from.

You can really tell that mid-to-late '70s was the most memorable time in Rob's life -- his sets from this period are always stellar (either that or he's just as '70s-obsessed as Gaz). Certainly no one else plays Garland Jeffries as often as Rob does.

A painting by Louis Wain.  Hope his unhappy tale isn't too upsetting for Adrian.  (Hi, buddy! It's one of my very most favorite songs too!)

Actually... "Wild in the Streets" was released as a single in '73... and re-released on a 1977 LP.  Oops!
