@sheilaB - per our discussion last week, at area shop I did not find a bronzettes 'hot spot' on parkway. and i learned that i missed out on vickie baines 'country girl' on parkway, and probably passed it in bins without realizing. ugh. i'm convincing myself it would've been out of my budget.

and also on the 'pop' discussion - there's a book about northern soul records, and they are broken down into a few sub-categories, one of which is 'pop' - and i enjoy trying to track the 'pop' northern 45s down... good stuff! (another good one is Trade Martin 'Work Song' on RCA)

@Rob Kopp I saw them play once, and they were magnificent. But they had a sad ending.www.theguardian.com... But it was Andy Kershaw who really discovered them, IIRC

List of Andy's guests. Quite diverse.

"Crooner" is the word I should have used instead of "hipster." He was a guitar picker who loved interacting with musicians. Growing up on the Airplane with "Up against the wall, m"""""er in our heads, it was easy to say "White bread" to Andy, but he was a sincere musician. I regret the sweaters, but whatever!

I probably watched a lot of Andy Williams at the time, but I recall very little. Mike Douglas, an afternoon talk show counterpart, however, I do remember. As guests go, he managed to cover a surprising range of territory. I mean, I don't think Abbie Hoffman was ever on, but the week of John and Yoko was pretty amazing.

  Fri. 7/29/16 5:46pm Dean:

I was joking about Grace, truly. Re: Cavett, it appears he didn't start taking medication until after his first long-run show, i.e., 1975. http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20113244,00.html

Fortunately, though, Cavett isn't a "was," he's still an "is." Still gifted, I assume, too. He likes to brag about his uncanny ability to generate anagrams on command.

Well Cavett's affect was not that of a stoner. His timing was precise. I suppose it is possible he indulged, but his detachment was not suggestive of the door culture. But I suppose it is possibke. Pot was groovy, no argument.
