Hello. David Zimelis (second time poster, first time contributor
to Musica) here. Responding to Phil's post, I just posted an .mp3
of "It's A Go-Go Place" by J.J. Cale. The vital statistics are:
Written by Cale, Russell, Lesslie
Liberty 55840
Released in 1965
Published by Viva Music.
I know who Cale is & I assume Russell is Leon Russell. Who is
Lesslie?
I also have the flip side "Dick Tracy" if anyone is interested.
Merry/Happy Whatever.

Happy holidays, y'all!
I've uploaded Darlene's Spectoresque recording of "Christmastime
for the Jews" to musica for your seasonal amusement. It's better
with the visuals, but enjoyable on its own nonetheless. Enjoy!

I just listened to Harris & Meehan's Scarlet [hmmmmmmmm, only
one "t"] and it starts with some saxes but mostly has French
horns and an orchestra and choir big enough to do a respectable
version of Handel's Messiah. It was written by "Lordan" [Jerry
Lordan ??] if that helps pin it down - and was released in 1963.
Oh yes, it is 20 degrees [F] in Taos, NM. Einar
