Woo Hoo! finally some 60s this week.
-
starting with some 5-D for Gaz!
-
Immediate BOS vote to "Aquarius / Let the Sun Shine In": that transition between the two still gives me chills. Genius, this production. (Bones Howe?)

indeed it was Mr Bones. Dick Bartley did his semi-annual 5-D spotlight a few weeks back, and while he didn't honor my request for "If I Could Reach You" (he didn't have clips of Marilyn McCoo discussing that particular tune), it was the usual fab assortment. Marilyn specifically credited Howe with coming up with the idea of making A/LTSSI a medley. They had seen Hair and immediately wanted to do the song, but were warned that several artists had tried to have a hit with it to no avail.

Gosh, it seems like just yesterday I was bitching about how much I hate "Lay Lady Lay." I'll skip the grammar lesson today and just say that if anyone entered my bedroom sounding like that, he'd be dismissed forthwith.

Yesterday I stuck with the regular Drive stream post set & Bob was discussing how difficult medleys are to pull off (He played "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature"). After the song he said a he toook a call form someone reminding him about "Waitning For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago", and Bob said that was one of the very few other good ones. Iwanted to mention the Kings, but I didn't try to find the number to call in.

I realize there's a play-the-hits factor to any 10@10, but "Spinning Wheel" is probably my least favorite song from this LP. I'd love to hear "Sometimes in Winter", er, sometimes.

I'd rather ride a Stone Poney than a Painted Pony.
"Do you know what latitude, longitude, latitude,
Do you know what latitude, longitude means?"

actually that musical couplet at the end is an old German drinking song, "Ach du leibe Augustine" or something like that.

Joss she ain't

Yuck, Crazy Elephant. Stephen Hawking could play a better guitar solo than this.
-
Joss she ain't
and thank God(dess) for that. Would love to hear "Kozmic Blues" in some future '69 or '70 set.
-

LOL! Meant to be appended with "And that's a good thing"?

it ain't yer day, bub. at least it's the short version.

The bass player is mostly playing the melody line though, which I kinda like. I've got that whole 4-disc Nuggets collection & been listening to it a lot. There's quite a bit of amateurish guitar playing on there but I still like it.

when Chicago came out, I just figured they were ripping off the Sons of Champlin, and on this song, the guitar even does these ripping scales ala Terry Haggerty. Oh well, the Sons were hot.
-
But what about Questions 1 thru 66?

They're filed with Preparations A through G.

I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of the Sons of Champlin until attending the "30th anniversary of the Summer of Love" fest at the edge of GG park in 1997. They put on a pretty good set there, as I recall ... as did P. Kantner, who trotted out "The Mountain Song" to my astonishment. A few rays of light in what was otherwise a cynical celebration of commodity culture.
-
another tune that makes me think of the 'commune' (flat shared by different folk) I lived in near the Castro that summer. mmm...
-

LOL! In the '60s the UN Sec'y-General was a Burmese man called U Thant. Jack Paar wondered aloud if there were an A Thant, a B Thant...

another disc I bought at Woolworth's after working at Alvin Duskin, and took home and played on my little GE portable. I guess 1969 would hold a lot of these flashbacks!

"Soul Sacrifice" reminds me of Woodstock -- I'd like to hear Grace's little rap about "morning maniac music" right about now.

OK, I've gotta ask: Those of you who were alive in '69 -- did you attend Woodstock, and why/why not?

Silly boy... everyone knows Stephen Hawking plays synthesizer.

I was 14 -- too young and Catholic and sheltered.

"uhh, because it was in New York?"
LOL! Best answer, Geoff! Jeez, these East-Coasters who think life revolves around NY...

My excuse was that I was 6 & we lived in Virginia. We moved to Long Island the next year & I have often wondered if we'd already moved by early summer the year earlier, might we have made the trek....

My real regret is not going to the Monterey Pop Festival, but there was no way my parents were going to let me go.

That woulda been quite a trek with small children in tow!

Living in Falls Church VA, literally a stone's throw across The Beltway, my folks aften took us to protest marches & gatherings on The Mall. They apparently got a sitter for us when they took part in MLK's Poor People's March in '68, because they halfway expected to get arrested, but that was maybe the only significant one between '67-'70 that I missed.
But we went on lots of large group camping trips (3-4 annually) so Ithink Woodstock might have appealed to them. As I undrestand it, it wasn't until too late that the size of the crowd became obvious, the expectations were for roughly a quarter of the actual number, and given those expectations I could totally see my folks going.

My excuse is more or less the same: I was 9 and I lived in California. I remember hearing about it going on on the radio tho. And once the album was released, some songs were all over the radio (the fish cheer not among them).
The show I really regret missing was The Last Waltz. And I was in SF that night too, having Thanksgiving dinner at my dad's cousin's house out in the Richmond. Her kids (my second cousins) were all bumming too. But our folks were having none of it.

Your folks are WAY cool, mshray.
And yes, the massiveness of the event was only apparent by Saturday.
"It's a free festival, man!"

Well they might have drunk some wine or beer, but it was only after we emigrated to Long Island that they even graduated to Scotch. Any other ingestibles were completely beyond them.
So my brothers & I made up for it, natch.
