Got one myself. Fresh Grapefuit, and V8 Juice.

Just to be clear, do we mix the grapefruit juice and V8, or drink separately?

Chicory Tip's "Son Of My Father" was huge in the UK in the early 70s. I've never heard anything else by them before and thought they were one hit wonders.

Is anybody else curious (or worry) when regular listener/commenters seem to disappear?
For example, where is listener Annie? regards if you are out there :)
Avatar 11:25am

@marmalade kitty - I, quite frankly, am relieved. It's frightening how some commenters seem to never leave. I like to take a deep breath of relief and smile and think of them out there.. in the real big world.. just doing their own thing in their own time...

Kitty, I'm in touch with Annie. She doesn't listen much -- I don't know whether that's by choice or necessity. The bottom kind of fell out of her life in the northeast a few years ago, and now she lives in Ashville NC. She is doing okay and seems content.

Michael Shelley:

AGREE - what an album!
Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 12:37pm
Gaylord Fields:

I've seen both of Prima's movies — Twist All Night and Hey Boy! Hey Girl! And I'm surprised as what an incredibly stiff actor Prima is, especially considering how alive and charismatic he is onstage and on recordings. Even Keely doing her "wooden Indian" schtick comes off more animated. Sam acquits himself well, as always!
  12:38pm
Martin:

Re: Matthew Sweet - Getting Quine, Lloyd and Julian to do the guitars on the album was genius.
Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 12:40pm
Uncle Michael:

I saw Sweet play live with those guys a few times and what struck me is that he really tried hard not to be a power-popper. He wanted to be this rocker and live, it tended to bury those melodic songs.

Agreed on the Michael Shelley-ness of that NRBQ song. My wife completely unprompted asked if it was a Michael Shelley song (meaning performed and/or written) when it was on the show a couple of weeks ago!
