@doctorjazz. I believe the song you are referring to had a title like "Gimme That Old-time Rock and Roll" or something like that.

Hey, UM, how was the return to action show? I Couldn't stay long, just caught the beginning (but the "crashed my bicycle" refrain from the Linnell was stuck in my head the rest of the day). Will check out the archive. (Caught Joel Forrester in an outdoor solo piano show at Bryant Park yesterday, an old fan of his, much fun).

I used to see Charlie Chin, from time to time, in the Village in the ‘70s. He was in Cat Mother and also knew Steve Stills when Steve was living in the Village (prior to Springfield days). Steve asked Charlie to record some banjo and used it on Bluebird.
