I'll never complain about hearing White Rabbit too much, and to hear 8, 9, 10 would be loverly.  Wish I knew the Sons song.  Such and odd selection from Dave.

BONUS TRACK:  The Motels - Only the Lonely

[urth]

The Motels are even less of a Bay area band than Jim Carroll--they're from LA!

OK, per AMG:

Davis formed the group in 1972 while living in Berkeley, CA, recruiting guitarist Dean Chamberlain and bassist Richard D'Andrea; originally dubbed the Warfield Foxes, they became the Motels upon relocating to L.A., but despite interest from a number of record labels the group suffered through endless lineup changes, finally disbanding in 1976. Davis soon formed a new Motels roster with guitarist Jeff Jourard, his saxophonist/keyboardist brother Marty, bassist Michael Goodroe, and drummer Brian Glascock...

Although it was just the bonus track, this is an even further stretch than Jim Carroll.

Also, the Sons of Champlin tune was a 1967 single that was came out on Verve, several years before the Capitol releases they're better known for.

Was it a good tune?  Did anyone who is familiar with the Sons hear this?    You have to admit this seems to be a deeper archival piece than almost anything I can remember on KFOG.

Yes, it was good, but it didn't sound like anything close to the sound they had later on. It was pretty poppy, actually. I think you're probably the one most familiar with the Sons around here--Mike, how much background do you have with them? I remember a little bit, but mostly post-Capitol.

The big hits for me (Get High, Freedom) from the first album are real long, which is why perhaps they weren't played.
