in for a penny

Boss Town Sound!

3:13pm John from Florham park:

Yay the chat is back

3:17pm Chucky Cheeze:

if it's a penny for your thoughts I will put my two cents in and somebody can make a penny off the deal..!..hehehe...

3:19pm Al on Long Island:

Canada doesn't have pennies. They got rid of them in 2013.

3:22pm Sid:

TW comments are back. Only one free lunch!

3:23pm Al on Long Island:

Richie singing songs that Neil wrote was a perfect combination.

3:23pm Sid:

Neil was too grouchy to join Poco.

3:25pm Al on Long Island:

Watching the "Losers' Bowl" (Giants vs. Jets) with the Real Rock & Roll on. It's actually a pretty good game.

3:29pm Sid:

The Penetrators, Open Up & Bleed. I sense a theme here.

3:30pm Sid:

Baby!

3:36pm sufferwords:

Bill Kelly- Sunday afternoon - L.A. mid 70’s - peace

3:45pm Sid:

They Don't Know: Kirsty MacColl wrote it and did a version of it (I believe using the same backing track as Tracy Ullman's version).

3:48pm Sid:

Gigolo Aunts did a version as well. There are several others, less notable.

3:50pm Jett:

Kirsty MacColl is the original version of "They Don't Know" on Stiff. She wrote it! Bought the single when it first was released, I also own it on picture disc. Always loved Kirsty MacColl! R.I.P.

3:54pm Jett:

How about something by Rue 66, Bill. Love that record!

3:55pm Al on Long Island:

Kirsty sang "Baby" on Tracey's version of "They Don't Know" because Tracey couldn't hit the high note.

3:59pm Sid:

I think I had it backward then, Tracy used Kirsty's backing track + "Baby!." Yes, R.I.P. Kirsty. Gone 19 years next month (hard to believe).

3:59pm Chas:

A lot of people don't try to cover Gene Watson's Farewell Party either cuz of that last high note at the end..!..

4:03pm Sid:

That Wilson Pickett record was hot. Don't think I've ever heard it before - weird for a #15 hit from '68. Damn oldies radio.

4:04pm Al on Long Island:

@Sid: Ditto. Good record.

4:08pm Chuck:

Yeah Sid... I was sitting here thinking it was either Joe Tex or Otis Redding???... I slept too many times since 1968..!..

4:10pm Sid:

Was thinking James Brown for a minute. I had to look it up.

4:14pm DaveinPA:

You're overmodulating, Bill Kelly

4:14pm Charles:

I remember reading how he really wanted Duane to play on his version of Hey Jude down at Muscle Shoals???

4:15pm Sid:

Bill, your mic's breaking up. Paging Engineering, Woof Mew Engineering!

4:16pm Sid:

Is that going out over the FM as well? I'm on the stream.

4:18pm David Colangelo:

Oxen hill Maryland...home of killer chicken sandwiches...I lived in oxen run...right next door

4:18pm Jett:

Rodger Collins did the original version of "She's Looking Good" on the Galaxy label in 1967.

4:18pm Snortley:

Yes; on FM the mic is "clipping" and may be too treble. This has been going on since at least Friday night.

4:20pm CC:

the microphone sounds good enough down here in Texas...discountable compared to the groovy tunes!!!

4:20pm Sid:

Sounds like the mic preamp needs a tweak.

4:22pm Jett:

Check that, Rodger Collins was 1966.

4:27pm Al on Long Island:

I saw Patti LaBelle on Sesame Street, singing about the letter X.

4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
