I’m A Massachusetts Man
It’s not often that I need cash on hand anymore, but today I probably will at a social gathering. While standing at the ATM in the alcove of my bank, the background music played Cheap Trick’s super cover of Roy Wood’s “California Man.”
This is the original by the Move. Jeff Lynne was in the lineup with Roy, when they were also the creative team behind ELO.

Got a Hankering?
Friday Today at noon ET, DJ Tom Hanks returns to Boss Radio 66 for the latest installment of Songs From the Back of the Station Wagon!
Here’s the show.
Happy Now, Touch?
There, Logitech Squeezebox Touch. You’re on Ethernet.
Feeling better? I hope so.
