TANC: When I was up in PDX last week, I saw an ad in Willamette Week (their local weekly tabloid) for Mark Lindsay's Rock and Roll Cafe. Have to go check it out once I get relocated. Must keep expectations in check:

Paul Revere & the Raiders were Portland natives, iirc.
Thanks for the tip, I get up to Portland for biz several times a year, take Sandy Blvd all the time from airport to downtown, passing it without knowing it was there. I'll check it out!

Dave's caught in a 'trina and he can't walk out. But BOS2 "Suspicious Minds" anyway -- one of the great pop singles of all time.

Workers unite!  And sing: "Caught in a trap ..."

I got my first FM radio for Xmas '69 -- probably didn't hear "Volunteers" until early '70, hence the confusion. But yeah, another BOS.

Surfed thru their site a bit--looks like the Hard Rock Cafe with a PR&R bent. And I think it's only been open since last August. Worth a look, but I expect the food is typical TGIFriday-style fare.
Let's get right to it.

Is this Three Dog Night?  Sounds like a Neil Diamond song.

ETA:  The Boxtops?  Sounds like he's singing it while doing a Whip-it.

Let Me was likely from vinyl--this Box Tops tune sounds like a possibility, too.

I'm astounded that "bathroom Window" is only in the db once!  By Monsieur Co-kair. And never by the Beatles. WTF?
