VHM Moodies, "Dear Diary", a onetime Katrina that we haven't heard much lately.

Here's the story behind my well-established affection for the Moodies, and it centers on this song.

When I was about 12 I convinced my folks (mostly my dad) that we really needed a modern stereo system, not the old wooden cabinet all-in-one console that we still had since 1966.  There was a midnight sale, and you could get an additional 5% off if you showed up in your pajamas.  Not surprisingly my dad was the only one in his pj's but hey, we saved about $15.

So I was just beginning to get some of my own albums, and one of the first was Days of Future Past, because I had always liked "Nights in White Satin" (which you'll recall had charted in 1972,and so was still getting airplay).  We were living in a 3-story townhouse and our new neighbors upstairs on the 3rd floor came by one time & the husband saw my DoFP LP and said something complimentary about it to my dad.  I said, that's not his record, it's MINE.  He laughed and told me to come upstairs anytime I wanted to browse his record collection, and the first thing he did was go upstairs and immediately return with about 5 Moodies LP's.  And for some reason "Dear Diary" was the track that made the immediate impression, but I played them all incessantly until he finally asked for them back.

that's a GREAT story -- better than any of the "through the wall" stories the Fogheads told last year.

BOS4 the Mighty Zep.

Good story.  Yes, I look forward to my "Lunch Break: Peak Hour" today, TGIF!

Pretty great so far. BOSes to the Zep, Ruffin, Moodies, Rascals, and of course the Beatles (yay!).

Keeping fingers crossed for the Crimso.
Let's get right to it.

BOS5 the UnCola Underground!  One of the cleverest ad campaigns ever.

VHM Sly, another "Summertime" hit that didn't peak until fall.

Nice inclusion for the last weekend of summer: Sly and co., enjoying a county pear in the country sun.

That's really not what I hear at all.
