Favorite songs I was raised on

[Simon1]

Side note on Roger, (James ) McGuinn:

During the late 1940s, Roger McGuinn's parents, Jim and Dorothy, wrote a best-selling book which was a satire of Baby And Child Care, Dr. Spock's famed child-rearing manual. McGuinn recalled to Mojo: "It was called Parents Can't Win and it was based on their experiences trying to raise me using child psychology and how it backfired all the time. It was considered very topical and sold well."

Then this version of The Harlem Shuffle by The Fabulous Flippers

 

[Simon1]

"Linda" is Linda Eastman, a celebrity photographer who was married to Paul McCartney from 1969 until her death from breast cancer in 1998. The song was written by Jack Lawrence, who went on to write many classics, including "All Or Nothing At All" and "Tenderly."

Tommy Roe early years:

The group was formed in Tampa, FL, in 1966

The band formed in southern Illinois in 1969 but went through a number of member changes before arriving at their core lineup in 1973. They honed their craft playing colleges and clubs in the midwest, which is where they developed "Never Been Any Reason." According to lead singer John Schlitt, they would sometimes introduce it as a song by Three Dog Night because club owners didn't want them playing original songs.

Tommy Roe early years:

In 1965, Tommy Roe recruited a Florida band as his backup group, renamed them the Roemans.
Members included Bertie Higgins who had the single "KEY LARGO' and Berry Oakley, an original member of the Allman Brothers Band.
The Roemans : A 1960's Florida Garage Band

PS: The Roemans plated at the 1965 Florida Latin Club Convention in Tarpon Springs, and yes I was there as an Ocala High School Latin Club representative.

*NOTE* Dickie Betts has a band called the JOKERS, which were referenced by Rick Derringer in "Rock & Roll Hoochie Coo" and later with Barry Oakley, formed The Second Coming, which after a jam with Duane and Greg Allman, became the Allman Brothers Band.
The band, Flow, which I have mentioned in this thread, shared a bill at the Fillmore East with the Allman Brothers Band.

Paul Davis (1948-2008) recorded for Atlanta's BANG RECORDS/ WEB IV MUSIC
SWEET LIFE


I GO CRAZY

Alan Feingold of Ocala played keyboards on these sessions. Alan and I on a string bass played gigs at a very low rent bar across from the Ocala Drive In on Hwy 441.

Alan's little sister, Fonda Feingold, recorded an album on Mercury Records.
WHY


I wrote the local review of Fonda's album on my "chump change" ROCK RITES column in a weekly shopper paper, and her father Ed, came by and thanked me, and said she enjoyed the comments.

*NOTE* Alan and his older brother, Roger played honky tonk piano in the Palace Saloon at the Ocala attraction, SIX GUN TERRITORY.

Those were good ECS, of course, I had never heard them before. So many great songs and even less were ever recognized.
