"Wagons HO!"
Bandulo- Freddie McGregor
The "Bobby Bobylon" album is a classic. This is the first track on Side One.
Weak Spot- Ruby Johnson
I made an attempt to recreate the Detroit Cobras album "Baby" with the original versions. It wasn't as easy as I thought. Here's one of the tracks. More will appear in various places over the next week or two, like today's Song Of The Day.
Weh She Do Now- The Gaylads
One of my favorite reggae vocal groups. Hope you three enjoy it.
When We Were In Love- The Cynz
The Cynz were suggested by our pal Shriner. I really enjoyed the album and this song.
Salce Dames, Bon Jour- Don Vappie & The Creole Jazz Serenaders
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? I do. I'm still not over having to cancel my last trip in March, but songs like this one make me feel better.
Chain Letter- Todd Rundgren
“The lyrics have his typical left-handed optimism, and just when they
get jaded, the track opens up; and multiplies, as ‘Hey Jude’ did. But
‘Chain Letter’ has more balls and goes through several changes, while
‘Hey Jude’ never went past spirited repetition”---Patti Smith
Well, she was dating him at the time. Still, I do love the track,

PS…Ain’t no weak spots in this week’s spots!
Thanks, Shriner - great song!
Always enjoy The Gaylads and Freddie McGregor.
Runt. The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren - not bad for a 23-year-old kid.
Would like to hear some more details about the Todd show the other night. Set list?

Randy,
The show was terrific. After 50 years and about 125 shows, I can't believe I can still get excited by his song choices and the heart put into his performances. The setlist was unique. A few strange choices, but a number of tracks I absolutely love that I thought I would never hear live again. His voice is still strong, as is his guitar playing. And Kasim is still a secret weapon to making it all sound huge!

All these years I never knew Patti Smith dated Todd ... wow. I knew he produced Wave, but wow.
They kind of look like the same person sometimes.
What a great set of songs, thanks!!
Randy
