<div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Nice call on Don McLean.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Do get that album, besides American Pie there are many beauts on it- and the even better album previous called Tapestry.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I considered Old Man by Neil Young, but those two just go together so nicely by themselves.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">I considered Old Man by Neil Young, but those two just go together so nicely by themselves.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Dutchman and Hello In There just flow together, like you say it's almost like a continuation.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I wonder if I flipped them how that would sound?</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Don't think I ever have, The Dutchman first, and then Hello In There.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I wasn't sure how California Dreaming by Jose Feliciano would go over, but I thought of it, found it and popped it on.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It doesn't compare to the superior Mamas and the Papas version, but part of the fun in the 60's was hearing cover versions of songs that weren't even old yet.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But each artist or group would put their own stamp on it!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Funny, I had forgotten the part done in Spanish near the end, and it surprised me- not sure how I feel about it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">By then it was too late, it was IN the show, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I thought I'd throw in the real beginning of that The Moody Blues song, it wasn't long and I thought it was cool.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Damn but that Moonglows song is good- I hadn't even heard it growing up with the Oldies we'd hear at parties- before CBS-FM played it I never knew it existed, took me a while to track it down.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">See though, even just playing Favorites, my mind automatically makes those Musical Connections!<br/>The Old People, See Saws- seems I can't play music any other way, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And the Golden Pell awarded to...John Prine for Hello In There!<br/>Excellent choice!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That one always touches me, and makes me think of my old girlfriend Loretta!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Anything you heard in the 2 halves...you know!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That's right, hearing new "old music" makes it NEW!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Oh Podomatic was down it seems, took hours for it to come back- wonder how many people gave up and never listened?- and Spreaker doesn't seem to have the same sound fidelity.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks for listening and writing,</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Jon,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">A unique moment in Radio History- the host telling the listeners they are unimportant to the show!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But I said it with a chuckle...and that's the way I roll, LOL!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The next two songs I played were unrelated to that.</font></div>

<p>By the way, podomatic seems to be down, so I had to listen on spreaker. Which is why the comment wasn't copied to podomatic.</p>

<p>Hey Mike.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I thought that first song sounded like Don McLean. And it was. And it's a very cool song. I guess I should get that album. I believe we may have had this discussion before concerning McLean.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Out of the two old people songs, I thought the second one was best. Hello In There by John Prine was just beautiful. It almost sounded like a continuation of the first song, like the first one didn't end. My favorite old person song would have to be Old Man…</p>

<p>Superb version of California Dreaming by Jose Feliciano. Although nothing beats the popular version by the Mamas and the Papas (mainly because of the harmonies), this one is very good. I love the part done in Spanish near the end, and I'm not a fan of foreign language songs. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The Tokens were okay, The Moody Blues I've heard before (the second part, not the first part), but I really dig the song by The Moon Glows (See Saw). Just really cool.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Well, the Golden Pell will now be awarded to.............John Prine for Hello In There. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Good subject Mike. I can always count on hearing new "old music" from you buddy.</p> We're unimportant to the show…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2014-05-29:6060463:Comment:1023892014-05-29T11:43:59.658ZJonhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JonCStephenson
<p>We're unimportant to the show? I'm unimportant to the show? Funny how you said that and then the next songs you played were about old people so I still believe your mind is slowing slipping away. However, that's unimportant to me. Fly away, little birdie. Fly away.</p>
<p>That first song I haven't heard before, but then the voice sounded familiar and I knew who it was. Isn't that cool? Well, not to you. It's unimportant. </p>

<p>What happened with the rest of the show? Don't know. It's unimportant. </p>
<p>Moody Blues? Unimportant.</p>
<p>B-side? Unimportant (that's why they're b-sides).</p>
<p>Me cutting the grass today? Important. Me telling you? Unimportant.</p>
<p>Me scratching that scab off my leg? Unimportant. Me typing with bloody fingers? Important, just because I said so.</p>
<p>I have nothing more unimportant to say.</p>
<p>Good day, sir.</p>
