Listening to the audience tape of the Festival Hall show it's
great to hear some of the stuff Brian has started doing: Marcella,
Cabinessence, etc. Extra treat is the audience breaking into
applause when the band breaks into non-hit favorites. Always a
pleasure to know that there are others out there that dig the
same tunes despite no radio airplay.
What's the story on Brian's inclusion of a snippet of "I Wanna Be
Around"?

Al, you played right into my hands. I've been sitting on a dub of "Who
Cares," waiting for just the right moment to play it to musica. I don't
own the single, however, and so can only report from memory that I
believe it was the flip of "Feelin' No Pain," and that I believe both
were produced (and perhaps one or both written or co-written) by Dion.
At any rate, a lovely ballad.
My info has the 45 on Columbia, from 1963. Can you help flesh out the
missing details?
Dig,

Hola Everybody.
I´ve played in musica "Hago mal en quererte", by the Spanish combo
Los Pekes (Novola, 1964), a version (a little hysterical) of "A
Fool's Errand" (Barkan/Raleigh), that reminds me of some Joe Meek's
productions. In the Spanish lyrics, the singer (Maria Esther)
complains about a boy that is always tempting her, but in the moment
of truth runs away. I hope you like it.
Chao.
Julio Niño.

Subject: Help me find this long-lost oldie - "I am the lonely man, that's me" (?)
This site may be my last hope to find an oldie from the 1960s or
1950s. I am not sure of ANY of these lyrics, but to my childish mind
they sounded like this (male singer, possibly a country song):
===
I am the lonely man, that's me-ee [piano lick]
I am the lonely man, that's me-ee [piano lick]
I live in constant misery-ee
[One line or so here, then:]
I need someone to understand
The problems of the lonely man, that's me (That's me (that's me
(that's me (that's me))))

I just asked Bernie about the film with the Comfortable Chair
appearance, and about the The Wheel LP. He said the movie was
terrible, and that he just got a check for $29 because it was
shown on cable.
Re: The Wheel: "...was my contract with MGM and I brought in
friends to fill out the album - Kenny E. and Gene Garfin did
the leads on two songs."

Subject: 1960 Tillotson song
I've been unable to ascertain the writer(s) of Johnny Tillotson's
1960 hit, "Why Do I Love You So." I've been unable to find it on
bmi.com, ascap.com or the website where you go to license songs.
Any ideas?
