I have the three vinyl albums still, but no longer have a turntable (or stereo system...). It was only when I wondered about the lyrics for The AM-FM Blues and looked online that I learned of Tommy's passing.

Did you know the jug band is where Maria Muldaur got her start?<br /><br />No, I didn't get the idea for the post on People! from you. A person recently gave me a burned CD with a mix of hits from 1968 and "I Love You" was on it. I knew of the song but I knew nothing about the band and that CD spurred me into action.Charlie Riccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930103645729165149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12331855.post-13136118570780982432024-02-10T16:05:23.187-05:002024-02-10T16:05:23.187-05:00Well, the Jim Kwesking Jug Band was pretty much do...Well, the Jim Kwesking Jug Band was pretty much done in by being taken over by a member who became a cult leader. <br /><br />Hey, did I point you toward People!?

Do I know what they are? Nope. But I imagine that your final paragraph will come off to people alert to such nuances -- in the way that a hammer is ever alert to the presence of a nail -- as the equivalent of saying "I have a lot of Black friends." Not your intention, but the sense and even some of the phrasing is there. By the same token (no pun intended), you've chosen to highlight an outlier in terms of royalties generated (CCR's version of "Grapevine"), when misappropriation more typically occurs in instances where public awareness isn't even a factor, let alone a force likely to focus on an individual appropriator's 22-cent royalty check. <br /><br />How was your response received by the wokesters who flagged the CCR vid?

I came to this article via your SPOUTIBLE account which is hilarious! Lovely “holiday gift” for me today, this article is. I was imagining that today was 12.27.2013 and that I was reading it to my mom, still alive, as we made leftover turkey sandwiches, her favorite, while listening to the VGTrio album—she ADORED Vince Guaraldi since she and my dad fell in love in North Beach in late 1960’s San Francisco, and I always had this album playing for her every Christmas.

This B, S, & T cover couldn't get further from Prog Rock than the Rolling Stones themselves. "Unmelodic sax solo by Fred Lipsius"? This an amazing jazz sax solo, Son. Open your mind a bit. <br /><br />Speaking of Fred Lipsius, his arrangements of "40,000 Headmen", "Hi-De-Ho", and "Lonesome Suzie" are nothing short of artistic brilliance. The infusion of Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kijé" alongside Thelonius Monk's "I Mean You" for additional themes in Traffic's "40,000 Headmen" is unheard of in a pop music atmosphere. Fred's inclusion of a horn section unison bebop jazz lick to announce the harmonica solo in Laura Nyro's "Hi-De-Ho" is so inventive, so unexpected. His use of vocal harmonies in place of the world-class horn section(who did the vocal) and later horns to bring the song to it's crescendo far surpassed any expectations of this song from Richard Manuel and The Band. <br /><br />Let's also not forget to mention the supposed "main theme that is horribly sung by David Clayton-Thomas." There has *never* been anything horribly sung by David Clayton-Thomas. <br /><br />The reviewer here really shouldn't embarrass himself more than he already has.
