So far so good with hurricane Matty. ...Hi, Chris!<br /><br />So far so good with hurricane Matty. My electricity is on and I will try to get this comment written while I still have the juice. You are right. The doggone storm is expected to circle around and hit us again a few days from now. <br /><br />I don't remember that episode of What's My Line. Security was lax across the board in those days. People left their windows and doors unlocked all day long and even when they went to bed at night. <br /><br />I appreciate world music and Bombino's song was a breath of fresh air (a lot more pleasurable than the wind gusts from this cane).<br /><br />I don't like many instrumentals but "Let's Go (Pony)" by the Routers is a favorite of mine and I still have the 45. "Telstar" is another great instrumental. "Alley Cat" got on my nerves and I didn't add it to my collection. "Let's Dance" by Chris Montez and Brenda Lee's "All Alone Am I" are also favorites that I had or have in my collection. "Monster Mash" is one that I loved back in the 60s but it has been played to death over the years and I have grown tired of hearing it. I'd rather listen to the spooky parody songs on TV ghost host John Zacherle's album which I used to own and foolishly sold for pennies!<br /><br />https://img.discogs.com/nq534mak5nWMYI9kw-F8edUZp_4=/fit-in/572x579/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-5216893-1387755207-3634.jpeg.jpg<br /><br />Ditto with "Do You Love Me" by the Contours. I'm tired of hearing it and much prefer the cover version by the Dave Clark Five. The Contours were at their best a few years later when they waxed "Just a Little Misunderstanding," a huge Dell hit!<br /><br />I'm sorry, good buddy, but I did not like Joy Again. (I probably wouldn't have liked Joy the first time around either.) Their look and sound just makes me want to smack 'em.<br /><br />I do not like Gilbert O'Sullivan (preferring Gilbert Gottfried), and therefore it was a "Longshot" that I would like Benji Hughes. I'm sorry but I don't. It was too creepy, kinda like a clown prowling around in the woods.<br /><br />Over the years I have gained tremendous respect for Tommy Roe. "Sheila" is one of his many pop-a-billy style hits.<br /><br />I well remember Billy Wms' hit "Sit Right Down and Write Myself an Email." It played on the radio for weeks on end when I was 7 years old. I didn't know that piece of trivia about Bandstand, Williams was the very first guest and Laura Branigan the very last. It's interesting to note that, on this date, Oct. 7 in 1952, the original Bandstand (with the format of teenagers dancing in the studio) made its debut with host Bob Horn. it would be interesting to learn the i.d. of the first live musical guest on Horn's version of the program.<br /><br />Now you've got me curious. This guy Shady that you mentioned... are you referring to Shady Del Knight, host of Shady Dell Music & Memories at http://www.shadydell.blogspot.com? Just wondering.<br /><br />Thanks a lot, good buddy, Chris, and have a Scrappy weekend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
