I was listening to the radio the other day - just browsing through the dial when I came upon Rockaway Beach by the Ramones. Well, I'm smiling as I'm driving until the DJ comes on with the station tagline...it's an oldies station. Sigh.

I have such great memories of "scooping the loop" in my hometown of Spencer, Iowa, listening to the new 8-track of Sgt Peppers. It was so magical amd mystical. Nowadays, I chase Paul McCartney around the world when he's on tour, and pray that he'll play songs from the two albums you mentioned. He usually does. It doesn't make me feel old. It makes me feel very, very happy Posted: Jan 4, 07 4:48pmI have such great memories of "scooping the loop" in my hometown of Spencer, Iowa, listening to the new 8-track of Sgt P... Scooping the loop! I went to college in Iowa (Grinnell) and dated a guy from town who owned a forest green Nova with bucket seats and some fancy engine that he put in. . that thing scooped the loop with a vengence!

Last night, on the eve of my mother's passing, I played a gig at a local bar. We sang: Suzy - Q/Born on the Bayou Boots (made for walkin') You Can't Do That Hang on Sloopy Gloria (a raucous ska version) Hanky Panky Viva Las Vegas Little Sister Low Rider Wooly Bully She's About a Mover Shake Rattle and Roll... (plus a host of originals that you can hear at www.myspace.com/callmebwanaband) I turned 53 on Thursday, I'm still playing the songs I learned in my parents basement when I was 13 - 40 years ago. Blows my mind, baby. |  ADVERTISEMENT  |
