25 Feb 2011: it's... 1972

[RGMike]

I never really liked Elton John, so I don't remember this.  Must be from the first album?

Gaz faints, Mike gasps. Clutch the pearls!

First LP was in 1970 so he was well past that by '72.

Actually Empty Sky was '69, and I was right, Honky Chateau was his 7th studio LP.

so are you counting 11/17/70 (live) and the Friends sndtk?

keep da tape RUNNIN'!  JB goes looooong!.  I think a compromise has been struck, re: "mainstream" sets vs. interesting ones.

Pardon the time warp.  The whole mellow thing planted me firmly in my girlfriend's house in Santa Barbara, granola, Carole King, etc, and I hear EJ's "Your Song." My mental time machine was off by a couple of years of course.

Don't ever beg pardon for historical inaccuracy.  We may be pedantic, but it's never with a finger-wag.

2/25/11-Friday!! Taking a Smooth Ride Back to...1972!!

 1.  Carole King- Sweet Seasons
 2.  Boz Scaggs- Dinah Flo
(TV: Maude- Florida on being a maid/housekeeper)
  3.  Jimmy Cliff- Sitting In Limbo
 4.  Stephen Stills/Manassas- Johnny's Garden
 5.  Hot Tuna- Water Song
(News promo/election coverage)
 6.  Harry Nilsson- Coconut (BOS!!)
 7.  Michael Nesmith- Different Drum
(Movie: Heartbreak Kid)
 8.  Elton John- Suzie (Dramas)
 9.  Billy Preston- Outa-Space
(News: Nixon campaigning)
10. James Brown- Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothin'

Like a dull knife, AL's intern just ain't cuttin':  they listed the Nilsson tune as "The Coconut Song". Er, it's just called "Coconut".  Speaking of pedantry -- but I'm def wagging my finger at this one.  (they also misspelled "Outa-Space" as "Out-a-Space")

and BTW, the Sat marathon will go '84, then 90, 78, 67 & 72. Saving the best 2 for last.

Perfect - if I get up early enough tomorrow, I can hear what I want from AT40 and then rerun some goodies.
