One day I was giving an older friend a ride home. I had the Rhino comp Love is the Song We Sing in my truck. He thumbed through it a said: "I saw The Beau Brummels at Cal State L.A. in 1965, they were kind of lame."

He was a hippie/surfer draft dodger at that time, and he always amazes me with some of the groups he matter-of-factly mentions he saw back then.

I didn't tell him I liked them

For those interested in the rear-view mirror saga of San Francisco rock, Summer of Love by Joel Selvin is full of dish and hard facts about the nutty folks who made all this crazy music.

Oh, "Empty Boxes" is a shimmering beauty. I loved it for decades before I learned "a beggarly account of empty boxes" is from "Romeo and Juliet": "And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,/An alligator stuff'd, and other skins/Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves/A beggarly account of empty boxes..."

Great songs by both combos. I haven't heard a lot of the songs. I have heard the singles and parts of albums. Like Bob mentioned earlier, there was a lot coming out and it cost to buy albums. Some of us had limited funds so we relied on radio.

Hi Drjazz: I was just trying to turn onto WFMU some 20-ish musicians at my fave open mic. I was wearing a WFMU T-shirt. They asked and I explained. One went, "But that's radio, right?" I went "Yep and with 4 streams."

A mother of one of my daughter's soccer team mates recently moved to NJ. I told her about the station, and the next time I saw her she thanked me for the tip. She loves it. Making small talk with a new employee on my staff I mentioned the station, and displayed the web site, when fortuitously Don-O's Hour of Crap was streaming. She found it hilarious. Later, she asked me to remind her about the station.
