20 April 2009--it's...1973 (and 420!)
« on: April 20, 2009, 10:02:37 AM »
But what's the year? I don't think there's a 420 set in the archives, ever.

ETA: But starting with a reggae song sorta goes with the rasta vibe, irie?

ETA2: This is the second time we've hit '73 in a week and a half--more evidence they're asleep at the switch over on Hawthorne St.

Pretty good start to whatever it is, with Johnny Nash making reggae safe for white people.

BTW, we just did '73 10 days ago -- and we heard this Dr John tune then -- so they're still clueless, rotation-wise. But this is one year I won't complain about being overexposed.

And of the two '73 sets in the archive that lead with Johnny Nash, this is the better of the two, imo.

Now if you'll pardon me a minute, I'm gonna go get a little brain salad surgery....

Dang, dude died at 38 during heart valve surgery.  And I had no idea this was the original version.  Not sure I've even heard it before.

And always good to hear marvelous Marvin and "Trouble Man".

"My Maria"  was sort of a make-good on radio's part, since they went with the 3DN version of "Shambala".
