What were their hits again? I seem to recall, "1, 2, 3, Red
Light", and "Simon Says". I suspect Riley will remember those,
too (even if he doesn't actually come out and admit it). <cheeky

We all have a few thing we try hard to forget ;> Well.......I did

Allen Sherman.
I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan. (creeek!)
We're showing our age, Gilmore. ;>
Allen Sherman.
I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan. (creeek!) Then there
was Alvin and the chipmunks. I even think one of them
played guitar...was it Theodore? We're showing our age,
Gilmore. ;>
Hell, I still have an Allen Sherman LP in my collection. Has a
picture of him with a guitar. I believe it's called "My Son the
Folk singer."

Anyway, you must remember The Cowsills, Paul. No? They had
hits with, "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things" and with the
title song from the '60s hit musical, "Hair".
The Cowsills were a family of musical siblings who became the
model for the Partridge Family. The producers originally wanted
the Cowsill family for the TV show, but the family refused when

established actress, Shirley Jones.
They made two critically acclaimed CDs, which sadly fell between
the stylistic cracks - i.e. too country for pop radio, and too pop

Does anyone remember the Ohio Express...... Would you accept BT

These days, certainly. Ever notice how modern country sounds like
early (really, ANY) Eagles? They do have a country "feel" to them,
but in their early years, they certainly weren't "country".. no cat-torture slide guitars, no "I lost my wife and my truck and my
beer"...

wow, my wife likes country and from some of the stuff she
listens to, I wasn't sure anything was too pop for country
anymore...

"steel vs. slide"
I've always LOVED the tastefull use of a pedal steel guitar in country-rock, and ballad. Listen to your JT stuff, real pretty...pure=prairie.....etc. America...I get vaklempt reminiscing...talkst amongst yourselves
Yep. I'll admit it. I once bought a single by Tommy Roe.
'Hooray for Hazel'. In fact, I still have kind of a nostlagic
soft spot for that song. ;-)

PRAYER...pictures of matchstick men...Mrs Brown, dreaming of you..

yeah, we shopped the same stores it sounds like. ;> I even once
bought a copy of what I thought was "A Hard Days Night" by the
Beatles. It was cheaper and I was dumber. The resemblence went away
after that first cord. I think I was about 13...
"Snoopy vs Red Baron"

"not all of us had bubblegum mentalities" Yeah but your also a few
years older..I;m sure you amde your share of BAD album purchases as well...and I'd say alot of the early kinks stuff was quite
"bubblegum" :)
"let them pay to buy their memoriesnback" hehe...Speaking of bad memories..can't believe Danelectro's made such a big comeback..I
thru away my damn covertible countertop when I was in High
School...now they've reissued those pieces of garbage ?

seventies fashions can remain buried. We would look stupid in
them, even more so than we did origionally. And it never seems
that kids can pull the look off.
