Nothing too crazy. I'm going out to eat with a friend tonight. Tomorrow I'm going with another friend to see a southern Iranian traditional music concert. Hopefully, that will get me put on some sort of list - haha.
The Happy Together package is coming to Champaign this summer - haha! It's packed, man. The Association, Ron Dante, The Cowsills, the singer of Chicago post Peter Cetera,The Vogues and Gary Pucket.
One could probably do a whole show of inappropriately apostrophe'd groups!

I'd rather see the Cowsills by themselves for sure. I'm gonna skip that show. Tickets match the ages of the performers - in the 70s and 80s range - haha!

In addition to today’s fine programming at FMU, there’s a 24hr marathon at WKCR today celebrating the birthday and arrival to this planet of Sun Ra And His Arkestra. Listened in this morning and it’s FANTASTIC
Yo Tim! Yep, Ra and Thee Arkestra landed here many times, and for more than musical performances. They had serious ties to the Black Panther/Power movement in thee East Bay. A few of the recorded lectures I heard on WKCR this morning were from locations in Oakland & Berkeley
That’d be cool if you had a show! I heard a song on Little Danny’s last night that reminded me of you: www.discogs.com... unfortunately I can’t find a link to play the song cos it gets confused with Debbie Reynolds and an Irish vocal group with the same name of the same year
