Internet and Peppermints
At this moment, Drew Carey is playing the ultimate Pop Psychedelic single, “Incense and Peppermints” from 1967, on his Sirius XM Friday Night Freak-Out.
The Strawberry Alarm Clock are working on a new album. I tossed twenty bucks into the pot to help them get it done.
Time Passages
In America, the Beatles were a phenomenon that lasted from their arrival in New York, February, 1964, until Paul’s breakup announcement in April, 1970. Just six short years.
I retired six long years ago, and with a click I can instantly return to that time.
“Time Passages” by Al Stewart is another song I remember well from my stint working in radio.

Best buddy Denro gifted me with a new turntable mat to add to my growing collection of rotating fun felts.
An original 1967 Mono LP that I “borrowed” from my sister and “forgot” to return.
Nino & April and Mann & Weil
Larry Grogan started his “Testify!” show last night with a Nino Tempo and April Stevens set. Note: this playlist might start automatically, depending on your browser.
Cynthia Weil died yesterday. She composed many hits with her husband Barry Mann. Here’s one from my DJ days at the radio station.
