Another less-played tune. Very nice indeed. BOSX+1.

Wow, I don't recognize this one. Nice Beach Boys Waltz.

[RGMike]

Sly with another one I couda done without. But overall, this has been a very pleasant trip.

Nice... I've never heard it before either.

Yeah, LN. Billy Joel did a nice version of it at PacBell Park, though.

Gotta play a couple for the casual/gen-X fogheads, but we got some nice nuggets for the fanatics among us, too. Given that a number of our more recent 60s visits have been heavy on the FFs, I'd call this one a win.

and we're back to the present with the very annoying Milky Chance, channeling Dieter on "Sprockets"

Yes, lame. I'm sorry, but something being "milky" sounds gross to me. Whatever it is, it's got too much milk in it.

I guess it's a German thing.

Today on 1968 For Beginners...

Three well-worn choices, four less-played selections from well-worn artists, and three
moderately-worn choices.

No bust-outs.

Did it sound good great?  Well DUH!  It's 1968, yo.

Another plus:  there wasn't the Barbarella trailer sequeing into a song about love.
And Hendrix + headphones = YOW!  Also, with Jimi, The Band, the Beatles (yay!), the
Stones... an acceptably high rawk quotient.

The dark lining in the silver cloud is that I think today was more of an aberration than
the start of a trend.

Yep.  Conversely, Dave hardly played the Monkees, while Annalisa plays much more of their
catalogue much more often.

2. Hugh Masekela - Grazin' in the Grass

An long-established member of the Twenty Plus Club.

7. Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine

The song itself is in the Twenty Plus Club, evenly split between Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight,
while neither one alone makes the mark.

10. Sly & the Family Stone - Dance to the Music

My gut tells me there's a Sly song in the Twenty Plus Club, but I haven't checked.  This
one almost made it.
