67th ShowWelcome back my regular listeners and if you’re new to the show, thanks for giving me a chance to entertain you, you are most welcome. In this show you will not find AI, Ads or clever gimmicks and Jingles and I’m more of a John Peel than a Smashy or Nicey Tony Blackburn type. What this means folks is you’ll get intro’s, a little information, and a record not talked all over. You will also get music not played thousands of times before elsewhere and some of it as new to me as to you, so we all share the joy. I am passionate about the music, but I am always willing to take requests for new ideas. Just keep the Band/Artist in the time bracket of 1960 – 1976 at the latest to keep in the spirit of the show. Well, I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please share my show to keep the music alive. Tracklist:1        Girl Child, I am An Evil Witchman – In-Be-Tweens2        Nightime – The Strangeloves3        A Little Piece of Her – Gary Farr4        I’ll Be Doggone – Glen Ingram5        Francis – Gary Leeds & Rain6        Masked marauder (Live) – Country Joe & The Fish7        Pictures And designs – The Seeds8        See Through Windows – Family9        Maypole (Alt Mix) – Dark10    Northern Hemisphere – East of Eden11    Fire And water – Secret Oyster12    Crying Every Night – Stranger Cole13    Hi Life – Granville Williams Orchestra14    Bad news – The Rollies15    Here Comes the Night – Rare Earth16    See My Friends – The Kinks17    She Was Mine – The Golliwogs18    I Think I’m Down – The Harbinger Complex19    Looking For The red label – Fair weather20    Green – Gary Farr21    To Get Along – Pan22    Oh! – Holy Mackerel23    Days When We Are Free – Mashmakhan24    Finally Found You Out – Brian Auger & Trinity25    Bad Tough Luck Girl (Live) – The Iveys26    You Can’t be Serious – The Mirage27    The Wind Blows Your Hair – The Seeds28    Rolling With My Baby – Silverhead29    Miss Judy’s farm – Faces30    The Truth Is Plain to See – Freedom31    Smile At the Sad Sun – Champagne32    Buffalo – Writing on The Wall33    I Can’t keep From Crying Sometimes – Ten Years After
