“Beans, Beans, good for the heart/beans, beans, great for the heart!”

Back to the show, the opener was pretty good. I’m just not a big Yes fan. I do have 90215 or whatever the title is, so it’s probably gonna be AOTW one day. Also, not a big Linda Ronstadt fan.

But I dig Elvis. I still say he has the best, most soothing voice ever, even in the history of the whole wide world. I also like Randy Meisner, so that was a nice pick. But not the Golden Pell.

I’m giving the GP to The Beach Boys and The Four Freshman. Very nice track. I like the BB’s version just slightly over the other, but really only because I know their voices. However, I had to listen twice, as I missed what you were saying at the beginning of the song, and I didn’t realize it had changed from one artist to the next.

Love this YT comment below…
“Ronnie Milsap is third in #1 hits to George Strait and Conway Twitty, and not in the Country Music Hall of Fame? What’s with that?”

…and here he is with Ray Charles.
Check out the laughing Ronald Reagan and Nancy.
Hey, America was great then!!

Too Much Rain by McCartney and Rainy Night House by Joni Mitchell were good tunes that I’ve never heard before, so great choices there.

I’ve heard Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again many times as well as Rainy Days And Mondays by The Carpenters. Both good songs.

I had a hard time deciding who to award the Golden Pell to. On one hand was The Grateful Dead’s A Box Of Rain, and the other hand holds And The Sun Will Shine by The Bee Gees. I just couldn’t quite place that it was the Bee Gees. Those guys have written some really great songs over the years, and this is one I’ve never heard. So I’ve made my choice, Golden Pell goes to The Bee Gees. Marvelous song bro.

And I just thought of one more rain song that is near and dear to me, but I don’t have a copy of it right now. I used to own the cassette tape but it’s long since disappeared. It’s Sometimes The Rain Won’t Let Me Sleep by The Oak Ridge Boys. It’s off of an album called The Oak Ridge Boys Have Arrived, and that is a fantastic album. I actually have the vinly, but haven’t tried to transfer it to mp3 yet. I’ll get around to it one day, but the point is that your show has helped me remember that song. So thanks go to you.

I love the CCR tune. That is just a great song and Fogerty’s vocal is so good on it.

I also really liked Tell It To The Rain by The Four Seasons. It almost got the Golden Pell. However, I’ll have to say that honor goes to:

Glen Yarbrough and the song Baby, The Rain Must Fall. Hopefully, I got his name right and the song title right. Beautiful.

Hey, I thought of a song that doesn’t have rain anywhere in the title but seems to me like it would fit, and that is Driving My Life Away by Eddie Rabbit. Do you remember that one? “Windshield wipers, tapping out a tempo/keeping perfect rhythm with the song on the radioooooo”.

I’ll try to finish it up this afternoon.

Do you really still like Moby? I was hopeful that you had moved on from those horrible Moby days! hahahaha… If it wasnt for the fact that he feuded with eminemineminem, or whoever that is, and the commercial that played that Stars song until society begged for mercy, nobody would’ve ever knew who he was…

Everything else sounded great! as usuall.. I love Three Dog Night, as a kid I stared at that Cyan record cover for hours! I seen them on the Midnight Special (at least I think itwas, it couldve been Rock Concert as well), the drummer was playing a clear see-through kit, why that was cool I have no idea but thats the kind of stuff that made listen and watch! Thought they were the coolest band I’d ever seen and heard. I posted Out In The Country for the crowd on here a while back, and it got a luke warm reception. Even considered Pieces of April last month but pulled it back because of that. Maybe I will try again though!

Keb Mo was smooth, liked it!

Heres some Real Men of Genius trivia for you! Dave Bickler is the voice behind the narrative, he’s the original vocalist from Survivor and the same voice you hear on Eye of the Tiger! Seen them do the Real Men of Genius stuff live during halftime of a Charlotte Bobcats game! They made up like 4 or 5 bits about Chalrotte and the NBA here and they stole the show (which is easy to do with the Bobcats, hahahaha)!!!

Great show!

I will be switching back to the regular theme around 6pm EDST.

If you have a show to go up now, write back and I will make arrangemants for you.

I totally forgot about A Horse With No Name. Great song by America. And you have to quit saying “horse songs”, cause it sounds like something else (think of the world’s oldest profession).

Did I hear you right, 2 George Harrison songs? The first one, Dark Horse, was okay, but that second one…more on that in a moment.

I have always liked Michael Martin Murphy’s “horse song”. Wildfire really moved me when I was younger. I literally dreamed about the story it told. Plus, we had a pony that always made me think of that song, although her name was not Wildfire.

For the Golden Pell, it’s downto two…the Gordon Lightfoot track (I missed the name), and the second George Harrison tune, Horse To Water. What a great little bit of guitar work on that one. So I’m giving it to George. Both are outstanding songs.

Nice show.
