On my birthday I posted the audio to a Captain Zoom record D.F. Rogers, aka Denro, gave me as a joke thirty years ago, when we were already a college grade-you-ates. Then my buddy Bismo, who remembers hearing the record when I got it, pointed out that Captain Zoom birthday records still exist, and he sent the current version of my name. Thanks, Bismo!
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2008/SEP/Sept10.mp3]Definitely not the same recording, but with some of the original effects, along with an impression of Caroll Spinney as Big Bird. It’s no surprise that those who were very young in the 70’s wax nostalgic about Captain Zoom.
Doug,
We played this same birthday greeting for Adam’s birthday (with Adam’s name of course) We did this from his first birthday in 1979 to his last birthday (his 21st)…Unfortunately, in one of our moves, I’ve misplaced the flexi-disc record. Hearing the song on your blog has reminded me to look for an “adam” record on Ebay! Thanks for the memories!…Paul
