11 May 2010: it's... 1968!

[Gazoo]

"Dock of the Bay" is better as Tune #10.

I'm hoping for some minor Supremes.  Maybe "No Matter What Sign You Are."

Nobody wants to go on after Otis.

Arthur Conley would have happily gone right behind Otis.

[Wayback]

What exactly does "surrey" mean, anyway?

surrey: "two-seated, four-wheeled pleasure carriage," 1895, from Surrey cart, an English pleasure cart (introduced in U.S. 1872), named for Surrey, England, where it was first made. The place name is O.E. su₫rige (722), lit. "Southerly District" (relative to Middlesex).

Maybe in the song they were riding in a carriage to a Stone Soul Picnic??

BOS4 Rascals -- what a lovely lovely set this one be.

Say no more!

I imagine surrying as being kinda like sashaying or maybe swaggering.  Or...sauntering.  That's probably the best.  Grooving on down, doncha know?

Back in '88 I got to see a Rascals reunion headline an oldies show at Meadowlands Arena, NJ

[Gazoo]

The Rascals make me think of the Tea Party/libertarian conundrum currently facing our society: for some "being free" means NOT looking out for one's brothers.

I am to Arthur Conley jokes what Mike is to Donny Hathaway/Roberta Flack jokes.

Didn't they do "Cups and Cakes" too?  And "Listen to the Flower People".

I *thought* was a joke. But I didn't get it. I can now, if I try, of course.

They couldn't fit everyone in a surrey! And it's hardly the sort of vehicle you'd take to a stoned soul picnic...

ETA: Thanks for looking it up!

bwahaha!

Happy Birthday Donovan!

Funny, I requested "Harper Valley PTA" on AL's FB page, but I posted a vid of this song on FB yesterday.

Haha, nice.

"Jennifer Juniper" is just too precious for me.
