Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Hello Dennis and Denizens!

Reechie, I'm with you in the wilds of southwestern CT -- working (sort of) out on the deck with a fine stogie.

Hello dere, Dennis! I missed last week's cavalcade of hitmakers, so I'm especially starved for today's musical goodness!

alright Peter, Wild Honey, myron and Gaylord! hey hey hey!

When Lou Reed guested on the PIX Penthouse Party or whatever that show was called, he played this and said it had a very Lou Reed guitar solo -- which it does.

Hey Dennis! Gaylord! Glad you’re here. We need to review the role of Adele Jurgens in the context of Abbott & Costello and The Bowery Boys.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:21pm
Dennis Diken:

ChrisB - Ms. Jurgens appears in one of my fave A&C episodes. namely, "Amnesia." hi Candy-O!

Let's not forget Ms Jurgens and the Bowery Boys in "Blues Busters"

Speaking of Paul Peterson, She Rides With Me has Leslie'd background vocals a good two years before the Beatles "discovered" that sound.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:52pm
Dennis Diken:

I know myron, I realize that. right you are Sam! I spoke with Paul P re that record once, he told me Brian called him and told him he had to fly from Vegas on the given day, rather last minute or unforwarned, to do the vocal!
