comment from that Scott guy on AL's FB page:

* Left bank, Walk away Renee Richardson (Just kiddin')...

tee hee!

Scott's just upset that Renee hosts the morning show instead of AL when Webster's on vacay

Wow, this was a lot of fun - I caught the replay, and tried not to read this thread ahead of the songs (I'm such a geek).  BOS to PR&R^2.  When I lived in Boston in the fall of '95, WODS's overnight DJ would play "Steppin' Out" once in a while, which I appreciated.  (I once called in and asked him to play "Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon": he didn't have that, so he played "Good Thing.")

And nice to see all the Left Banke love.  I likewise adore "Pretty Ballerina," enough so that I bought their more-than-I-needed comp There's Gonna Be a Storm.  One song to seek out from them is "And Suddenly," a noncharter that the Cherry People had a minor hit with in '68.
