Gerry from Miami:

DENNY, I think the Coca Cola corporation owns the Rock 'n' Soul stream. I heard Mr. Manitoba mention the drink in the lyric to that tune. And BUNNY, the Artificial Intelligence robot, drops tons of Coke ads when he is running the channel. What gives? WFMU is non-commercial, right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:14pm
Candy-O'67:

The first time I saw the Dictators was at The Shake Down in Vegas in the early 2000's. I actually only discovered them when I was at that festival! I immediately bought the CD they had and was an instant fan! I've seen them plenty of times since then. One such time was when I was still drinking and saw them on a trip back to Houston when I still lived in CA around that time, they played at a small venue Rudyards, and we stayed after hours and partied with the band at the bar! I hardly remember that part, though - three sheets to the wind! haha!!!
Avatar 2:16pm

That's cool Candy. I never saw them play. But spent some time at the bar Manitoba that he used to have in east village.

@Candy-O'67. You were such a wild child back then!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:17pm
Candy-O'67:

Wow, can't believe you never saw them, Lesley! I've been to Manitoba's! I went once with my girlfriend from Houston who was visiting NY with me and met a friend from New Jersey there when we were visiting my sis when she lived there in the early 2000's :)

@Gerry & Dennis - Some of the DC5 records feature BOTH Dave Clark & Bobby Graham. Compare the mono & stereo mixes of "Can't You See That She's Mine". The stereo mix features Dave's pedestrian drum track only. The mono mix has both Dave's basic track sweetened with Bobby Graham's fills.

When I was young and poor during my college years, I always traveled between home and school by Greyhound Bus Lines. At stops all along the east coast, they always had these awful and overpriced Post House Cafeterias in the stations. But with jukeboxes! It seemed I was forever hearing Wilson Pickett songs, like "99 1/2." But mostly it was "Midnight Hour." The Wicked Mr. Pickett was one popular artist in those long-ago times.

I tried several times to get BUNNY, the resident Artificial Intelligence robot here at the Rock and Soul stream, to play that great Skeeter Davis tune. Never happened. Thanks to you, Denny, for the spin!

Ah, "Tonight!" One of the very best Move songs, and that, as the Velvelettes taught us, is really saying something.

Bob Bainen and Pete Tomlinson devoted their entire three-hour show last Saturday to music of the Move, ELO, Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne. On the Give the Drummer stream. Check it out in the Archives if you missed it. Great stuff.

Everybody knows that Del Shannon was going to be Roy Orbison's replacement in the Traveling Wilburys, right? Unfortunately, he passed away too! Here in 2022, we have also lost George and Tom from that supergroup. Would have loved to hear what Del would have brought to the band.

Dennis Diken:

@Gerry from Miami - Del was a fine artist and I think he would've continued to give us good stash!

Great show Dennis!! Thanks for the cool tunes!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Dennis Diken:

@myron feld - I'd need to research it but I think it was "an all-LA band", might've been Howie Epstein on bass
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Dennis Diken:

@Michael Shelley - thanks, my brother! @Lesley K - THANKS! good luck tomorrow!

James Holvay penned a great Brian Hyland song that sounds just like Del singing, but came right at start of Beatlemania in 64. James and Brian wrote while on Dick Clark tour together.
