Marvin holds his ear up to some fruity vegetation.

a '60s set on Wed tells me we're getting a theme on Fri -- whether it's Mandela or ABBA, I dunno.

I have a definite memory of back in 68-69 singing "Grapevine" while riding my Schwinn chopper bike with the banana seat through the businesses bordering my neighborhood.  PS- I rode safely, not through Traffic  ;)

"What number is this, Jim?"

"SEVEN-A !!!"

and it's also BOS2 (and proxy of Gaz). A daydream believer and an old closet queen.

A longtime friend of mine's former roommate married Mickey Dolenz.  I remember getting an excited call from my pal in NYC whispering "Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees is in my living room right now!"

OMFG!!! Ree-Ree BOS3 "House That Jack Built"!  This may be a bustout -- certainly a serious rarity.

Let's hope not, but Rush Limburger has been encouraging his dittoheads to go to Denver and cause trouble.

BOS5 Donovan; BOS6 the Tops' fab cover of "If I Were a Carpenter" (another proxy of Gaz, methinks)

BOS7 CWOAB, "Fire"  I'll see you burn!

This set was an utterly wonderful surprise -- I fully expected '90s today (betcha that's on tap tom'ow). Unless perhaps Dave's leaving on vacay after this show?

ETA: I missed the intro; this was a B-Day request.
