The passing of Reg Pressley of the Troggs took me back to the summer of 1966. I was 18 years old at the time and Wild Thing bent the borders of radio at the time. Chip Taylor wrote the song, as well as Angel in the Morning among many others. It wasn’t until 2004 when Chip Taylor got on my radar again. Cat’s and I caught him and Carrie Rodriguez at the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival. Bluegrass, of course is where the money ain’t, but when you blow a cool fortune on a gambling habit, you gotta start over somewhere. Then and now- Chip Taylor, a damn good songwriter.
(“Wild Thing” … cool)
The under appreciated Richard Thompson with animation by the much admired Sally Cruikshank:
I don’t underapprecriate Richard ‘Vincent Black Lightning 1952′ Thompson
The greatest drummer that ever drew a breath Carter Beauford..
oooh, yes indeed!
Somebody should have told those boys that they were playing the Van Halen single at 33 1/3, when it was recorded at 45. They learned it too slow.
