This reminds me that I have to do a Lee Hazlewood show this summer   🥁 ♥ 3:21pm

It`s Paul McCartney`s birthday today! ♥ 3:25pm
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Funky16Corners @3:16

This fine cover of an unforgettable song is new to me. I just now learned that it was written by Jim Hendricks, co-founder of the Mugwumps with his then-wife and ex-wife-to-be Cass Elliot. 3:28pm
Erica:

↳ Song: "Summer Samba" by "Walter Wanderley"

Ah nothing says summer like elevator music. ♥ 3:28pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ (Mr) Bill @3:25

I think Hendricks wrote it himself. Where did you see it attributed to Cass?   3:29pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Funky16Corners @3:28

It`s Paul McCartney`s birthday today! ♥ 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ Erica @3:28

PLEASE stp calling it elevator music. It's mellow, it's groovy, but it's nut MUZAK ♥ 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:29

Happy Birthday Paulie! 🥁 ♥ 3:29pm
kwatts: We are in "meteorological" summer which started on June 1 as opposed to "astronomical" summer which starts on Sunday. :) 🥁 ♥ 3:30pm
David The Splatter: Greetings, Brother Larry. Indeed, the Summer is officially here. The crippling humidity at 5 this morning told me so. 3:31pm
Erica:

↳ Funky16Corners @3:29

Call it what you want Larry, but it's no doubt chill instrumental music that sounds like muzak. ♥ 3:31pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ kwatts @3:29

Hey kwatts! I'd never heard that distinction before, but it makes a tremendous amount of sense ♥ 3:31pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ David The Splatter @3:30

Hi David! 🥁 ♥ 3:31pm
David The Splatter:

↳ Song: "Summer Breeze" by "Gabor Szabo"

THIS sounds like Muzak! ♥ 3:32pm
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Funky16Corners @3:28

Sorry for the mangled syntax. The song is Hendricks's alone. 3:32pm
Erica:

↳ David The Splatter @3:31

Kinda. It's more jazzy though. ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ David The Splatter @3:31

This is prime CTI/Gabor Szabo 🥁 ♥ 3:33pm
David The Splatter:

↳ Erica @3:32

Either way, it definitely sounds like something I would hear at K-Mart.   🥁 ♥ 3:33pm
Mollywog:

↳ Song: "Summer Breeze" by "Gabor Szabo"

It's amazing how many different covers there are of this song! ♥ 3:33pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ (Mr) Bill @3:32

No sweat. Hendricks was also in a cool band called The Lamp of Childhood that did some very cool 45s for Dunhill ♥ 3:34pm
Funky16Corners:

Another one coming at the end of this set   🥁 ♥ 3:35pm

David The Splatter:

↳ Funky16Corners @3:32

Reading a quick summary on him now. ♥ 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

↳ Song: "Summer Dreams" by "Rubin Mitchell"

I had this 45 for years before I saw Rubin Mitchell on The Ed Sullivan Show. He was kind of like a Black Liberace, in that he played standards in a very florid. busy style. This 45 on the other hand was written and produced by King Curtis, and is nothing like the rest of his discography 3:42pm
Erica:

↳ Song: "In the Summer of His Years" by "The Bee Gees"

The Bee Gee? ♥ 3:43pm

↳ Song: "Delius: Summer Evening/Summer Night On the River"...

Delius was a really interesting guy. Born into a wealthy merchant family in England, they eventually packed him off to an orange grove in Florida, where he experienced the things that would lead to these particular pieces.   🥁 ♥ 4:36pm
Mollywog:

↳ Funky16Corners @4:30
