Loved the songs, Murat. You do have eclectic tastes in music. I was getting worried that I wouldn't have Murat music to study by this Saturday. Of course, between computer glitches and real estate clients, I think I'll just do the translation job I was saving for tomorrow and spend all night tonight and most of tomorrow doing my paper abstract. [sigh] Things just keep conspiring against this paper.
I loved the bagpipes in the final song. Did the Huntingtons all curl their bangs or do white boys get bangs like that naturally?
T: I'm not sure what created all them lookalike bangs. I suspect our Parisian sister Dee will have all the secrets in hand.
Cryan Shames had one very fine album in, say, 1968 - A Scratch in the Sky: it opens with "Sailing Ship." Much more than the pop they were alleged to be: three-year legends in Chicago, then fade to black...(moldy oldy version still hanging around)...ASITS kicked ass, though.
Especially love the Buckinghams. I think they ironed their bangs...
I had never heard of Cryan Shames but liked it. I was just making the transition at that time from am radio and listening to the motown sound to fm and stations that played entire albums late at night - new artists with live interviews. Back in the day when radio stations really did rock.
Dee: Takes you back, don't it? The Buckinghams had a cool groove for their 3-4 year ride; their producer went on to produce the early Chicago albums. If you remember the American version of "Sugar and Spice," that was the Shames. Did a cover, too, of Carole King's "Up on the Roof." But, it was their albums where they really shined: great vocals, lots of experimenting, tons of energy.
We've been reminiscing, haven't we? That was lovely, as usual. Really liked the Buckinghams, a million times better than any backstreet boys.
DM: Buckinghams had the love groove, for sure. Sweet and simple, then sprung "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" on us, funkier tune written by Joe Zawinul, who went on to co-found Weather Report.
That was fun, I felt like I went back in time. Thanks for being my dj. T
Thanks for joining in the time traveling, Tammie.
