Here's another Chicago band.  This clip is a reunion show,  but Jim Peterik (Survivor) was in the original Ides of March.

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Ides of March is the best song Blood, Sweat & Tears never did! And this is coming from a huge BST fan.

May I out myself again as the whimpish MORster I am:



We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Speaking of Lee Hazelwood (RIP), he wrote Dino, Desi and Billy's "Not The Lovin' Kind."

If you had never heard it before, you'd still know that one was from the late 60s within 30 seconds.

Spirit -yup; I had a mental block then had to run.  Got lucky finding mates my same age who want to do even more tunes from that period.  Last night's crowd was a nice confirmation that people still dig groovy tunes.

About a year ago I was hitting the local thrift shop and picked up a still sealed copy of the Okaysions Girl Watcher lp for a buck.  I opened it too.  Great stuff.

The phone number in Don't Call Us was a real phone number for an A&R guy who the band didn't like.  The prank didn't go over so well.

For late 60s I always dug With This Ring by the Platters, as the bass was happening and the tune was catchy as hell.

My Lost 45s that I still like:
Uneasy Rider
Life Is A Rock
Kung Fu Fighting
Billy Don't Be A Hero
Beach Baby

Oh, God, I could go on..

This place is the groove-yard:

Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

My internal sound system quite often makes me feel odd. I can find myself whistling tunes like the Connie Francis hit Where the boys are, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA0XWJrYz7I&feature=PlayList&p=561EC6DA7778B517&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=32 ,  Bobby Rydells Sway, , some old Rita Pavone tune, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbiRzglq5L4&feature=PlayList&p=AA7740BFF01FC982&index=0&playnext=1 , and some old international and Swedish accordion standars, , , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHyDYL2yQ_0&feature=related , , from way back when I was a kid, and the radio played those tunes all the time, sometimes interrupted by something from guys like Hank Williams (sr.), or the German singstar Lolitas hit Seeman
I've never whistled a tune by Mingus or Ray Brown, though it happens that a tune by Willie Dixon passes my lips. Likewise, to get closer to a subject that's been around here recently,60's tunes by Buffy Saint-Marie been whistled. In the mid 60's I got an album with her, Little wheel spin and spin, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IqbwDd5zqw&feature=related , produced by none other than Felix P. I was quite surprised when he, an eternity (weeks, months and years were long in those days of a young mans life) later, showed up, first in the company of Cream, and then, in Mountain!
Oh, yeah... those lysergic days... can hardly remember them...

Phaedra was a figure from Greek mythology. Exactly what the Hazelwood song had to do with her mythological story is a mystery to me.

You know how they used to say that rock and roll would corrupt our minds?  I suppose it's evident in the first three 45rpm records I bought as a kid, where my preferences turned psychedelic:

1. Happy Together - The Turtles
2. Journey to the Center of Your Mind - Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes
3. Hush - Deep Purple
