2 Jan 2009: a "classic" featuring Bay Area Music

[Tinka Cat]

one of Dave's Fave's:   Translator - Everywhere That I'm Not

That's impossible
That's im- ...

That's impossible
That's im-poss- ...

That's impossible
That's im-poss-i-ble

didn't recognized the 2nd one - a bluesy cover of "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" -- too lazy to chk the shraytabase. 


Hell Cerrito's very own CCR sing Fortunate Son as the third entry -- love that one

[Gazoo]

BOS to Counting Crows' "Long December."  Nice thought for '09: "there's reason to believe maybe this one will be better than the last."

That was Lydia Pense & Cold Blood from '69!

I definitely dug "Walking On the Sun" when it first came out 

[Wayback]

San Jose's answer to the Yardbirds sound: Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction" (you'll recall their lead singer recently passed).  And speaking of people who died died...

I did too.  Alas, that was all that Smash Mouth had in them - now all they're capable of is recycling mid-60s dance pop for cartoony movies.

PS: BOS2 to "Psychotic Reaction."

"Bay Area" music from Port Arthur, Texas: hello, Janis.

And Gaz, by request, here's your Jeff Starship!

Except that Dave could have picked ANYTHING better than FYWB for this set.  I don't hate the song, but it's in the bottom 20%.

One of my claims to fame is that my cousins bought Janis's house in Larkspur. I never knew if this was really true - until I just did a search for my cousin, and came up with this article..

Very cool!  Is that your cousin mentioned in the article, John or Mike?

technically, they are second cousins.. John (the father) is my dad's cousin. Matt, Mike, Dave, and another boy I only remember as "Bub"!  We stayed there on a family vacation in 1976 and I was convinced I saw Bigfoot - scared all night. Went looking for prints in the morning.

Dumb question, maybe, but... this was "the SF Sound Part 2" -- instead of giving us all those shows from the same week in October, why didn't they just repeat the entire "SF Sound" series this week? It was timeless, and seemed custom-made for replay during a week without Dave.
