Friday June 3 - presumably not 1967 (1970 instead)

Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of Beej's tambourine.

LOL! It's my own fault, really. Whenever I make some insanely wrong guess about who did what song and am wrong- I mention that if we were a band, I'd play the tambourine. Because, let's face it, tambourining isn't exactly rocket science, y'know?

List of great tamborine players:
Davey Jones, the Monkees
Betty, the Archies
uh....

last night at band practice, the song screamed for some tambourine, and one of the best singers/musicians picked it up!  So, it's a badge of honor to me!

Oh, sure.  Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey play tamborine too, when the song calls for it (and/or they're bored during guitar solos).

Roger Daltrey is a great microphone player too.  Any others?

I would say that it wasn't played on the West Coast at all, but I was in college then, so it might have slid by in top 40

Dave's  Yahoo messenger ID has the following tag after his logon: "anybody remember Pickettywich?"

So, can anyone here clue me in? I'm stumped. (Dave sez it was a national hit.)

Pickettywitch, "That Same Old Feeling" -- I remember it.  A medium-sized hit as I recall. Nice bit o'pop. lead singer Polly Brown later had "Up in a Puff of Smoke".

Consulted AMG after posting that--which sez they were another in the Foundations/Edison Lighthouse/Paper Lace canon. This peaked at #67 in 1970, which may explain why I don't remember it--at that point in my life, I was strictly a Top 40 kinda kid.

#67 is stetching it a bit, re: "a national hit". Maybe a regional fave in Michigan. Not huge where I was. She sounds a bit like Dionne Warwick, no?

ooo, another BOS for "Sweet Baby James". Lovely.

Dang, that was me.  It is now too.

Y'know, now that I think on it- I think Tracy from the Partridge Family played the triangle, too.

I should take some lessons.

Update your email in your profile.  When I send out club-wide announcements, it bouces back.

Okay, now explain "microphone player."

Every time I've tried to go to AMG this morning I get the HTTP 404 Not Found.

I have tried 3 more times since you posted & still get the same result.  Strange.

BOS3 (or 4) for Ree-Ree, "Call Me".  Fab.

Watch "The Kids Are Alright" (I think that's where it is.)  Roger spends quite a bit of time swinging his mike around and catching it and otherwise molesting it.  He's got it all taped up, presumably for strain relief.

Hmmm...  I'm changing my BOS to Paul McCartney  (will actually email it too!)
