HOLY SHIT - Orpheus, "Can't Find the Time," a major all-time favorite of mine.  It was only a hit in Boston; I'm stunned Dave knows it.


I recall it getting some NY play as well... One of those legendary why-wasn't-this-a-smash? records of the time. I suspect it was known regionally even if it didn't hit big anywhere.  

Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dah!


sounded like terry kath on vocals. but i looked it up.

all in all, a fine morning -- I recommend the Peak & Drive replays if you can catch 'em.

I guess none of you guys were listening at about 7:40 (I was driving to a breakfast meeting with my new boss, which is why I was AWOL all morning). Dave talked about it being something that he'd just gotten on CD and "if the wheel cooperated" he was thinking about including it in today's 1969 set.  At that point I really wished I could get online to tip y'all off, but couldn't.

Dave went on to say that he said he had 13 songs at that point & maybe it wouldn't make the cut.  He asked if Peter or anyone else had heard of it & none had, and then he asked if anyone had heard of Ulitmate Spinach, which he held up as an examplar of the the Bosstown Sound.  Peter said he had, But I think maybe he was faking it so Dave wouldn't feel like too much of a geek.  Anyway Dave said that he had forgotten how overproduced it was and how lyrically weak it was and implied that he was leaning towards not playing it.  So I called and talked him out of that notion.

Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it, though I was in my car for tunes 2-6.  Looking forward to the replay tonight.

Oh, wow.  I really should talk to Dave.  I haven't told y'all yet, but my planned pitch for next year's Experience Music Project Pop Conference is the history of the Bosstown Sound.

Hmm...no intro.  Did Dave goof it up this morning?  Or did the overnight tech guy hit the wrong button?

Catching the replay. Work did not allow proper attention this morning.
I did email in a BOS for Petticoat Junction.

i wouldn't mind peeking up ann margret's petticoat junction.


OK... I was puzzled by this post this morning, and now that I'm hearing the replay... I'm still puzzled. Ann-Margret had nothing to do with Petticoat Junction. (But she was on The Flintstones as Ann MargRock.)

BOS to the "Wonderful World of Color" and The Avengers theme. Emma Peel could kick Ann-Margret's ass.
