I’ve replaced Paul Gadd with Marty Wilde’s 70s alias Zappo. More fun, better songs and father of Kim. Rock and Roll Crazy is fabulously silly and has that Glam “swatting a fly” drum beat.

I wonder what would have followed “not”.

Are there any boxes of loose leaf or bags in any photo. I imagine it was loose leaf with strainer. But what was the Beatle brand?

Not a genre, but if I could only listen to music from 1967, I’d be very happy.

One of our finest. Greyhound bus is another goodie, and what better instructor could anyone have in 1973?

The dates don’t match up but this could be the timpani overdub for Golden Slumbers, end of July 1969. Ringo and Mo looking particularly fabulous that day

The Top Cat theme sung with straight triads wouldn’t sound the same. They always had someone to do the ginchy notes. I have no idea what the proper name for it is but it sure must’ve been tricky

Great exercise. Also in the 40s and 50s there was often a singer who had to add the ginchy harmony, the 6th and 7th notes. This is a musical ear twister youtu.be/ov_AlD6xCeM?...

So true. and of the subsequent clones: a cod Mariah melismatically screeching festive inanities over a yet another cod-Phil Spector cod-Motown, heavily quantised backing track, devoid of any human touch.
