ROCKOLLECTIONS: SONGS FOR FOOLS PT.2 END

 

I will open the concluding half of our Songs For Fools with one about a guy so dopey he doesn’t even know when to come in out of the rain- or so the expression goes, right?
Then I have a Contrast- 2 versions of the same song (which I would be shocked if you didn’t know), and both of note.
First, after hearing the single for so many years, you will find the longer beginning of the LP version very strange.
Then an unreleased interpretation of that same song by a BIG name group (some guy named Keith Richards does some of his rare lead singing).
After that, a song I HAD to play, or insult my pal, Mike Hennessy.
I don’t remember where or how he found this song, but it was a Top 10 song and I had never heard it!
Just goes to show you, there are little gems out there each of us for some reason has never heard.
Oh, and I also didn’t know the microphone was ON! For the longest time.
Anybody who has been on the radio knows we are constantly clearing our throats for that wonderful rich sound, lol!
Well, I coughed, and Engineer Ken and I just looked at each other like a bomb had exploded!
It was pretty funny, and I don’t have to tell you to listen for it- you will hear it easily enough, lol!
No question, I am a full-time fool, and don’t have to work at it.
I have a song to prove that not just men are fools, women can excel in that department too.
And I will give the final words to the world’s greatest band ever, and a guy named Cliff Edwards.
Happy April Fool’s Day to All Of Us Fools!
