Thanks for the Signe Anderson tribute, Mike. Amazingly, there is a short video of her and the Airplane performing at the Fillmore Auditorium in SF in October 1966 and it's on YouTube.

Mark Dillman:

Here's an email I just sent to close friends:

DJ Mike Sin, filling-in for absent Michael Shelly, on WFMU Saturday morning did a brilliant bit of song sequencing. He played a new song by yet another Daptone label artist who recreates 1960s soul music with exciting accuracy. We heard “(Let’s All Do the) Chicken Switch” by the James Hunter Six. That alone is worth sharing with like-minded friends but the DJ sandwiched this song between Sam Cook and Eddie Floyd both from the 1960s. The grove was seamless. The decades that separated these records were meaningless. I was impressed.
