Thanks as always for stopping by Ellen. If you haven't seen the clip of Beth Hart performing "Am I The One" at the Paradiso, it's about as out there as anything I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgrBn072lMU
Nice collection of heart songs, Charles! I had no idea Spanky & Our Gang backed George Gobel....hard to believe Mason Williams wrote that! Gobel's place in comedy history is assured, as he's the one who broke Johnny Carson up somethin' fierce with his, "John, you ever feel like the world's a tuxedo, and you're a pair of brown shoes?" That was late '60s/early-'70s.
"The Andy Griffith Show," as you may know, had The Dillards (a real bluegrass recording group) guesting as The Darlings, a family of hillbillies who'd visit Mayberry kinda regular like! Denver Pyle played Pa, and when he'd call for a particular song for the boys to play, Charlene would sometimes complain: "Now, boys, let's do 'Never Hit Your Grandma With a Great Big Stick,' at which point, Charlene would whine, "Aw Pa, you know that one makes me cry!"
And, even if you've heard all those, there was this one my dad used to regale my bro and I with in the '60s, in the days of landlines: "I Can't Get Over You Babe, So Answer the Phone Yourself."
Thanks for stopping by and adding those extra bits of history. I largely missed the Andy Griffiths show, so most of that story is new to me. Hilarious though! Gobel was unique--he played the straight man and the wise guy simultaneously, which is not easy!
Great collection of songs, have encountered most of these artists in your other posts but great to be reminded.
I discovered Beth Hart and her collaboration with Joe Bonamassa recently. Like, whoa.
Wardruna is new to me and what a song. It just feels and sounds primeval.

That was extraordinary. I hadn't seen it, so thanks for sharing it.

Thank you! G'night, everybody!
