22 Feb 2013: it's... 1969

[urth]

so, whose birthday is it?

Don Pardo. He's 95 today.

well, then i won't dedicate "Let it Bleed" to him    But BOS Stones.

I was a little surprised to hear Don's voice--I thought the decision had been made to cease using his clips when Dave retired in 08. I guess since he's still alive there's nothing preventing them from pulling them out now and again, at least as long as he's still around.

BOSes abound in this set: Kinks, Steve Miller Band, the Dead, Boz Scaggs--even the Beatles and 5th Dimension were nice to hear. Sounds like someone actually put a little more effort into song selection.

Of course this Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In is overplayed, but I love it anyway. I forgot the name of the fellow who plays the smokin' bass (especially on part 2), but I think he's in the session musician Hall of Fame and might have been part of the Wrecking Crew.

Per the wikipedia page, these were the bassists who played in the Wrecking Crew at various times:

bass: Carol Kaye, Joe Osborn, Max Bennett, Chuck Berghofer, Ray Pohlman, Larry Knechtel, Lyle Ritz, Red Callender, Jimmy Bond, Bill Pitman

I recognize only two of those, Carol Kaye and Larry Knechtel (who played on the Partridge Family records, iirc), but I imagine it could have been any of these.

It was Joe Osborn who, as you noted, was part of the Wrecking Crew but is not in the Sidemen Hall of Fame. I think I researched this during another 10@10, and there were Internet commenters who felt it is a shame he's not in, and that's what stuck in my mind. He played on a long, long list of notable songs.

The Wrecking Crew wiki page is worth a read--quite a few notable players were part of that collective over the years. Lots of familiar names and some not so much. And some I knew but didn't know they were part of the group--like Mac Rebennack, Jim Gordon, and Mike Melvoin.

Damn, got caught up in a discussion with cow-orkers right around the Age o' Aquarius and missed all the good stuff that followed. 

BOS, Boz w/Duane.  I may tune in tonight just for that...

Is this the first time "Loan Me A Dime" was played in a year and not in a Tax Day themed set?

[RGMike]

Is this the first time "Loan Me A Dime" was played in a year and not in a Tax Day themed set?

It appears in our database (Morey era) 4 times -- 3 Tax Day sets and one "SF in the 60s" set. Couldn't swear to how many times AL played it.
