Thanks so much for another side of Mel. A good drummer too! How about some Alan Merrill & The Arrows, Michael? (on a slightly mercenary note...my buddy in the Philly glam rock band Creem Circus is opening for him tonight at the Grand Victory in Brooklyn...I'm looking forward to hearing the man who wrote "I Love Rock & Roll". - maybe worth an on-air mention? it's 11pm tonight at 245 Grand St Brooklyn. Part of their GlamDammit series -- google that word for more info.)
