In ancient times when colossi bestrode the earth and people downloaded instead of streamed, I downloaded a couple of albums by this band. I have no idea who they are/were or any recollection of where I heard about them, but they’re pretty good. Here’s a good Who rip-off, and here’s another one like the one above. More songs on YouTube if you’re so inclined, some may be better. It looks like they only made two albums.

An uplifting tune to get you over the midweek hump.
Just Don’t Dance
It can’t be New Year’s without seeing someone make an ass of himself. Who’s better at that than Mike Love? This begins as a funny/sad skit, but the real comedy begins at 2:27 with 70’s footage of Love trying to preen and prance around like Mick Jagger. He also apparently hit a Goodwill dumpster trying to copy Mick’s look. Jesus.
People who shouldn’t dance (I’m one) should know better by the time they reach adulthood. The most blessed of us never really wanted to anyway. I get that singers feel awkward just standing there. Fine, but if they can’t dance, give them a prop guitar. I’m guessing the other Beach Boys preferred letting him make a fool of himself to arguing with an asshole.
Hey, Free Piano!
Free piano (you pick it up). Lester circa 1966. Lutz area. Not possessed or haunted in any way. Tuned less than 24 months ago; played by human hands ~6 minutes since. Not a player piano — does not play by itself. Comes with bench. Has wheels. Please take this out of my home.
Maybe not….Actual ad here.
All In The Fingers
What happened to “aw shucks” country-boy virtuosi like these guys, Glen Campbell, and Roy Clark? Are they still out there? Are they all just session guys since no one like them could lauch a solo career in Nashville these days? But would there even be sessions for such players? I hear nothing in current country music that would require this level of musicianship.
Don’t try any of this at home.

I know, you’ve seen it, but here it is anyway.
Do Everything
and Feel Nothing
The Stars Were Shining Bright
Guitar player numbers his Les Paul’s like Pete. Singers have real talent. And they’re doing an Elvis song. Let me see, what else is interesting here…..
The Kids Are Alright
The Real Thing
I promise I’m not trying to turn this into a highbrow blog. Since I posted about an imposter earlier this week, I might as well post about the real deal. Probably the best female pianist ever, and better than a huge majority of males. And without a doubt the prettiest. Still as good as ever at age 79.
