Tom Lehrer's passing last week at 97 reminded me that he released all of his recordings to the public domain a few years ago, so I downloaded his albums and have been revisiting his work.

This is good surf rock guitar for your evening listening. Put it on and let it be the background music for 40 minutes. Good for evaluating new speakers!

I've been enjoying the fictional duo "The Coward Brothers" (Elvis Costello and T Bone Burnett). The album is the soundtrack to an Audible play written by EC featuring the pair and Directed by Christopher Guest. I haven't listened to the play yet (looking forward to that), but the music is excellent. So many good tracks to chose from, including "Early Shirley"

Follow up... I listened to the Audible play, The True Story of the Coward Brothers, and it was hilarious. Highly recommended. It also gave a lot of context to some of the odd tunes on the soundtrack.

As much as I adore Elvis, the tracks I've been playing more often feature T-Bone Burnett's vocals.

I was recently having flashbacks of the early 70s and college. Saw two very good groups early in their early “campus tour” years before they’d made a name for themselves: The Fifth Dimension (unbelievable musicality), and, with the future Ms. SWMBO’d, Blood, Sweat and Tears. Gonna’ have to dust off those old LPs.

BS&T played at my high school, in the football stadium, in the late 60's or very early 70's. Funny, I tried googling it to find out the date but I came up empty, even though I'm 100% certain it happened.

They were full-on instrumentalists, just like early Chicago, both with strong lead vocalists. Good sounds, fond memories.

This weekend I'll be in the garage with an old friend, taking a second stab at rebuilding the engine on my '62 VW Beetle. Maybe it'll work this time .
Consequently I've had VWs on the brain a lot, so it only made sense to drop the needle (figuratively) on this one.

Hope you have this handy

I wore this LP out.

Yeah, that one too. But probably TEE was the one I played most.

Oh, HECK yeah!
Read that back in the 70s. Since then I've ways wanted to rebuild a Bug engine.

Seems like this song is getting kinda timely again;
