The Night People. A great Pacific Northwest band.
I always wondered if they took their name from the great Jean Shepherd essay.

Right on! Now's the time to ramp up self-care, etc. It's gloomy, and not just because of the weather/season.

Mr Fab:

Interesting, that version of “Another Man Done Gone,” It was originally a pretty grim old folk song about a hanging, but that put a more pop spin on it.
Avatar 6:45pm
shangri-lounge:

oh, cool. thanks for that tid-bit, mr. fab. is there a more well recognized version i should check out?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm
Rich in Washington:

I am tempted to make an oldschool fish stick casserole.
Avatar 6:58pm

Honestly, I'd still fux with some fish sticks. They were one of my favs as a kid.

I'm listening and thoroughly puzzled by most of your selections today.
Avatar 6:59pm
Mr Fab:

Johnny Cash did a great version of “Another Man Done Gone,” way back. Pretty scary goth stuff. One can imagine Nick Cave covering it.
Avatar 7:00pm
shangri-lounge:

Ah, interesting! Thanks, Mr. Fab!
Avatar 7:01pm
shangri-lounge:

Thanks, WR. Come back next week for some more thoroughly puzzling content!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:02pm

I love being puzzled by DJs playing amazing songs that are new to me.
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:02pm
WR:

For one example:
The Fortune Tellers ‎from an album named Song Of The Nairobi Trio doing a song called Pagliacci Cha Cha Cha. I just can't keep up with the references. ;))

And shake it? Shake the tingle tingle?

Well, dang, gotta put all those in my shopping cart.
Avatar 7:25pm
shangri-lounge:

they're all pretty reasonably priced on discogs. about $20-ish per.
Avatar 7:26pm
shangri-lounge:

And that's for VG+. From my memory.

I Got Loaded became a standard for Zydeco bands. This may be the first time I've heard Little Bob's version. Now trying to remember whose version is most burned into my memory.
Avatar 7:30pm

Ah, cool. Little Bob's is the first version I've heard. And, he's actually French!

Wow. This isn't the kind of music I associate with Norman Luboff, but what do I know?

wait.... that was THEE John Williams?!
Avatar 7:42pm
shangri-lounge:

you'd be schoolin' me here, Notsokwyet!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:42pm
Rich in Washington:

There was also a classical guitarist named John Williams. I remember as a Star Wars fanatic kid hearing a PBS show go 'next up, John Williams' and was so disappointed.
Avatar 7:43pm
shangri-lounge:

that was a much better example of Normal Luboff's music than what I could have played. we have at least one LP here, and it's not the greatest...
Avatar 7:44pm
shangri-lounge:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh wow. Unless someone's entered that song wrong on Discogs, Johnny Williams does indeed point to movie composer John Williams!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:45pm
Rich in Washington:

So, yeah. That's John Williams playing Sadaba.
Avatar 7:49pm
notsoKWYET:

I used discogs as well... So I wasn't schooling anyone lol ...

LOL, appreciate your honesty.

I've only just recently watched Star Wars.

perhaps that's why Kylo Ren didn't offend me.

Also - that John Williams guitarist kinda looks like John Williams without a beard lol
