And back to the garage for the Standells!  BOS, was a Dave standby in the old days.

Secret Asian JINX!!!

Funny, I was gonna guess that "She's My baby" song earlier was maybe the Standells, but here they are on the banks of the river Charles.

Gotta figure AL's gonna give a shoutout to the land of her birth now and again--Boston, that's her home.

and indeed she mentions Charles Laquidera of the legendary WBCN.

ah, the Mojo Men did "She's My baby".

As I noted in the Peak thread earlier, the '60s are back, 10@10-wise. radio rediscovers boomers ('cause we're the only ones who listen to radio heavily, I guess  -- deep down inside, they know we're COOL!).

I emailed Rob Arrow (nee Lipshutz) at the Peak this morning to thank him for doing 1965, and to say I hope it's a trend, as all the versions of 10@10 seem to be rediscovering pre-'68 years after ignoring them for a while.  He just replied and said he lived in Berkeley in 1985 and remembered Dave doing "Fifties Friday"!

Def. BOS to the Beatles (yay) in their first serious psychedelic foray.

TANC: I'm listening to a "Funky 16 Corners" podcast of soul/jazz Beatle covers, and here's The Don Randi Trio (?) doing a jazzy version of "Tomo'w Never Knows"

I was in the car for this, and really enjoyed it.  Hard to say which BOS; I also thought TNK.  1966 really seems like the pivotal year, or at least the prequel to the big change.  In this set Dylan and The Beatles seem to represent the meatball point in things.

the best thing about 1966 getting repeated already is not just that Dave only did '66 thrice in 5 years, but that this argues for an even distribution of setlists, and not the bell curve distribution of Dave's tenure.

It's clear that's what AL has been doing so far: one from each decade (plus a theme set) every week. Given that there's no PD at KFOG, I wonder if that's just her idea or if someone higher up said OK. Your typical radio "suits" would tear their hair out over the non-focus-group-approved stuff she's been giving us!  Long may she wave.
