5 days late, but if Bob plays "ode to Billie Joe" I won't complain.

BOS to "Penny Lane," easy as that.  I've been asked by a couple people why this is my favorite Beatles song, and really, it all comes down to that piccolo trumpet, perhaps the most joyous sound I have ever heard in my life, and always suggestive of something great and wondrous beyond these things.

Have any of you ever heard Scottie's follow-up, "Heard It in an Old-Time Movie"?  I've never heard it, but since it's apparently also a John Phillips co-write, I imagine it's somewhat similar.

Meanwhile, VVHM to "Fire," some of my favorite Jimi lyrics.

(with an extra HM to those studio-overweighted maracas -- don't suppose Davy played them?)

I'm going to have to tune out in a minute, Bebe Neuwirth is on the morning show.

VHM for the Monkees!

If I've heard it it was (maybe) once back in the day -- it didn't get substantial airplay in NYC.

we've been having our Reg Guys meetings in the Kensington Park hotel lately, to which the Post St Theater is attached -- that's where her show is. One of my friends ran into her in the lobby.

VHM "Expressway..." -- white boy soul (or at least I think the lead singer was white) at it's finest.

"I been tryin' to get (in)to you for a loooong time..."

another longer version with a different coda -- I've never heard that before.

another VHM to Dr Smith! What a hilarious promo.

"oh good heavens I've made pun"

Oh the pain... the PAIN!
