Carol,
Thank you for your fascinating answers to my questions.
However, I'm going to be suspicious about the things you
say from now on, because I'm afraid I caught you feeding
us a bunch of bull:

>Plus being born poor, being a stutterer, ugly
>(buck teeth)...
Carol, those of us who have seen photos of you (the Pet
Sounds era pictures that appear in various publications)
are aware of what a FOX you are. So don't try to put any
fast ones past us around here. We's ex-purts!:) (Plus,
remember, you gave my friend Gary guitar lessons when you
lived in Boulder).

Sorry that I can't remember Doc's initial post, but I'd
concur with the general idea, and (hoping that this wasn't
already mentioned) would bring up the fact that Faith
Hill's recent "This Kiss" is absolutely boffo sixties
girlgroup sounding cotton-candy, with only a teeny bit of
steel guitar to allow it to pass muster on modern country
stations.

Don't know about Connie Francis one way or the other, but
you're dead right about Skeeter Davis. I guess I'd also
chime in with Brenda Lee as another example. I think that
what we're probably talking about is that "Countrypolitan"
thang that was happening back in the early sixties; chalk
it up basically to Owen Bradley, Chet Atkins, and the
Anita Kerr Singers. Hope I've got this right--I'm talking
off the top of my head here, so if someone can add more
better facts, please do.
Interesting note to ponder in the midst of this C&
W-slash-girlgroup-pop thread: In Will Friedwald's
otherwise *superb* "Sinatra! The Song Is You: A Singer's
Art," the author at one point refers to Hal Blaine and
Leon Russell as "Nashville rock-style players."
Another interesting note to ponder: on the Ace "Where The
Girls Are" cd is a PURE girlgroup track in the Shangri-La
vein, by, get this, Dolly Parton. Produced by Ray "the
streak" Stevens.

RE: Country GG
Michael H.,
You're right about Debbi Horn. I have a set of her Country
cassettes. I had the privilege of MCing the Pixies reunion
show in '91. She's the best!
But the ultimate Country GG crossover early 60s artist was
Sue Thompson! In case you missed my Discoveries article on
her, I can e-mail it to you -- or anyone!
Thanks.
Doc

>bass,
Dear Bob & Carol:
I'm not a bass player, but I'm curious about what kind of
equipment Joe Osborne used on those Association albums.
The "sound" of his bass playing was very distinctive,
almost a "lead bass" sound, very trebly and upfront. (the
start of "Windy", or that little lick on "Time For Livin"
for example) You dont hear that sound anymore on today's
recordings!
Thanks!
