No walk this morning as it is raining and it is supposed to pour all day. And they guy I buy from at the flea market let me know yesterday he will have 5000 new 45s out today in his tent covering. Looks like I am braving the weather. Nice little garage 45 for today I picked up this year and to be honest I really don't remember where I got it
Happy May 1st. To continue celebration of Tommy James birthday this week I thought I would post a latin version of Mony Mony. Pretty cool B side as well. Released on a division of Roulette with both songs being previous Roulette releases...hm, not a bad way to try to get more royalty money for Roulette
We had a heavy rain last night but it ended so Cooper and I could get our walk, The storm caused us to lose power and of course that impacted my coffee starting on its own. Nothing a quick push of the button couldn't fix. Thursday girl sounds...A side has a bit of a latin feel to me. This appears to be Wendy's only release.
Happy Birthday to Tommy James. I have always been a Tommy James fan. I remember when I was in Jr High I would listen to this station that played oldies and I remember calling and requesting a Tommy James song (Sweet Cherry Wine- which has not made an appearance here so I think you know I will rectify that) and they played it. I was so happy...isn't funny what makes us happy when we are 12 or 13..lol.Today I present a double sided gem that is very underated. This was released after the smash Mony Mony and the A side barely dented the US charts at #53 and hit #40 in Canada. The B side didn't hit the charts and its as good or better than the A side!
Wow, my mp3 hosting site was down this morning. But at lunchtime it is back up. How about an extremley rare Rockabilly 45
Picked up this cool one at the Flea Market in March. Happy Monday!
The first posting of the bunch of beautiful Peacock 45's I received in the mail last week...this is the newest of the bunch but so good. It was nice to record again yesterday and especially after a trying morning. I spent a fortune on new tires and then they messed up the paperwork and receipt as it didn't even have my name on it...had to express "You took MY money...put MY name on the receipt and paperwork." Then I had to fight the crowd (annual festival with thousands of people milling around) to try to get back home to my driveway.
