Just went scanning to see if I could find the Modesty Blaise scene/image stuck in my head for decades. Didn't see it quite as remembered. Maybe faulty recall. But did see scene in which Breen track plays on a portable radio next to Dirk Bogarde staked out in the sun in an Arab camp, calling weakly for "Champagne...champagne..."

So basically it's a band's cover of their own material, but not a re-recording of it.
Avatar 11:03pm

"Somebody Groovy" was in that category of music that reminds me of "young people dancing" scenes in mid to late 60s movies....kids intently shimmying and frugging, camera shots tilted, maybe a bit of colored lights action.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:03pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes. Same label. Enoch Light, the guy who ran Project 3 records used the Free Design as abacking singers on a couple of projects.

@sbp - If you dig that sound, and that vibe, check out this essay and mix I did a few years back: ironleg.wordpress.com...

I know this Tim Buckley song, great one DON'T know Henske, though (a bit of Buffy T Marie in her singing, perhaps...)?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:32pm
Funky16Corners:

It's actually a Fred Neil song that Buckley covered. Henske was in the folk scene early on, before she married Jerry Yester and put out a crazu psychedelic album. She was really more of a torch singer than a folkie.

Sorry Phil, you'll have to wait until the mid-70s before the war ends. Haha!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:33pm

Henske was famous early on for the song High Flying Bird that became a folk rock standard
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:33pm

Ah, Phil, saw him at close to the end of his life in a small Village club . He was depressed, one of the saddest shows I've seen (Sonny Stitt when he was played out was another one ).

Was that a reference to Young Sheldon doctorjazz? And yes, Phil's life was cut short due to mental instability and suicide, according to the Wikipedia.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:38pm
Funky16Corners:

I remember reading his biography years ago and it was incredibly sad
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
doctorjazz:

(going through some sad, disappointing shows in my head (with Phil's reminder). Saw Segovia, Earl Hines, and Max Roach, all past when they should have called it quite already (saw Segovia and Roach before that as well, great when they still has it) Aaron Neville is playing a duet concert near me soon... Thought I'd catching it but I'm afraid the same thing may happen).

Boy I about spending the New Year with a downer... Sorry about that...}
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:44pm
Funky16Corners:

No problem. I always fight the impulse to see older performers when I know that they may not be able to cut it like they used to. Sometimes it's just worth it to be in their presence. Other times, not so much.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:44pm

If wasn't a reference, Erica... Just what they call the war there, felt a bit weird when I was there

doctorjazz:

Seen Aaron Neville many times, with and without the Brothers. The last time I took my daughter, raving about "the voice", and he just didn't have it I had to bore her with his records for hours later to prove I wasn't nuts (he could have just been worn out from touring, or not feeling well, of course)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:49pm

There was the French war, which they won then The American War (you know how that turned out ). Cocky bunch (but very nice to us, actually)

Art Neville just retired from performing. I heard he'd been sick for a while. Bootsy Collins also just retired from live performance.

Finally watched "The Fog of War" last week. I have a fair grasp of the history but it made made me want to refresh a more detailed survey of our Vietnam war -- via the multi-part PBS series from a couple years ago for instance -- so I could frame and weigh McNamara's own words on it and so I could revisit the perspectives of those who condemned and reviled him.
