BOS Mashmakan. As I've said many times, Fastball's "The way" owes a huge debt to this one.

Mashmakan showed up in the docu "Festival Express" -- I had no idea they were a jazz-rock outfit.

Or however you spell that.

Dave hasn't trotted this one out for awhile. I was surprised to see their name listed among the bonus footage on the DVD version of Festival Express. Gotta sit down and watch that soon.

BOS tie between the Doors' "Peace Frog" and the Mashmakan song, which I've honestly never heard anywhere *but* 10@10.  The lyrics don't scan well but I think that's kind of why I like it.

VVVHM, of course, to Sly + Fam.  Always a pleasure.

Astonishing coincidence: All the Pain Money Can Buy was the CD I was listening to yesterday in my commute.  When "The Way" first came out, either the Bay Guardian or the SF Weekly claimed it cribbed from Tom Jones' "Delilah"; ever since, I've only been able to hear the song through that lens.  (Mixed metaphor, sorry.)

I vaguely remember it getting (brief) Top 40 play in NY (it was early 1970 and Kasey Kasem was not yet syndicated).  Then in the late '70s I had a roommate who owned the 45 and it was one of his fave obscurities.

I fully expected "The Way" to finish first in Pazz & Jop that year and was disappointed when it came in much lower.

VHM "Seattle", aka theme from "Here Come the Brides", Bobby Sherman's peak as an actor  :)   At least it wasn't the Perry Como Top 40 hit version.

HM to "Here Come the Brides" and "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes."  Is "Rosemary" codespeak for Mary Jane?

B-B-B-BOS to Aretha, "Call Me" -- my favorite of her self-penned tracks.

You're thinking of the follow-up, "Love Grows Like my Orega-no".
