Wow Kathy, you really nailed some good tunes. This is fucking brilliant! I hardly know where to start. The Fortunes, The Stampeders, Grass Roots and Grand Funk Railroad, Badfinger! What a trip down Nostalgia Way. AM radio, eternal grooves for sure. It always blows my mind how a good tune with a great hook stays alive in the head moves to the heart, and just makes any day so much better. The Fortunes 'You've Got Your Troubles' is also one of those unforgettable tracks in transistor radio land. 'The Stampeders,' (I forgot the name of the group) but as soon as I heard that banjo, I knew it by heart. Grass Roots founding member P.F. Sloan also wrote 'Eve of Destruction' and 'Secret Agent Man'. The Grass Roots were remarkably talented dudes. Grand Funk Railroad. Awesome choice. Truly an American Band. Cornelius Brother's and Sister Rose is like the cherry on top of a Dairy Queen banana split, what sweetness. True ear candy. Cruising with the windows down in my Canary yellow '71 Dodge Swinger and singing harmony.' I believe,

I believe, I believe I'm falling in love... Also, 'Treat Her Like a Lady' I gotta dance... Thanks for this, you made my day I think you're great!
