"When it came to 1973 Dead, I was always drawn to the big second-set jams, 'Dark Star' or 'The Other One,' and all of the places those songs could go that year. One week during my initial stint with the Dead, Dick was spending a lot of time listening to 9/8/73, and he could not stop raving about it. He was very intent on pointing out that despite the absence of the 'Big Two' from 1973, every song, every solo, every moment was out-of-this-world excellent. He played me the first set, giving a play-by-play of each song and what made it special. In those listening sessions, Dick taught me a lot about how to listen critically and objectively. Of course, the subjective self always creeps in, those moments when you whoop and holler at how good a performance is, but that objective listening is critical. After many days of listening, Dick moved to other eras, as was his wont, since he carried the responsibility of selecting the best Dead shows from all eras to represent the Dead’s recorded legacy. But he made it clear and inarguable that he felt 9/8/73 was one of the best-played shows from one of the Dead’s best years." - David Lemieux

With a double endorsement from archivists Dick Latvala and David Lemieux, you know it's a MUST HAVE. This one's got inspired playing from start to finish, with soon-to-be-minted Wake Of The Flood classics, a first-ever "Weather Report Suite," Keith polishing his chops on "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away," Jerry tapping into era-defining sound with his Wolf guitar, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Bob's exquisite playing too.

Among our 2021 Dave's Picks subscribers? The subscribers-only bonus disc featuring nearly an hour and a half from 9/7/73 is coming your way too. (P.S. there's 35 minutes of 9/7/73 on Dave's Picks Vol. 38, to boot)

38 production issues cont....

Wow, lol, this is all over the place.
I’ve tried twice to go through with the intention of noting precise instances with pad and paper, but didn’t because I didn’t want to waste a whole day on this but it obviously needs to be done lol. The situation is the boss!
It’s a dirty job but somebody needs to do it, so guess that’s what I’m doing today lol.
First, a few reply’s in an attempt to clear some things up or perhaps get more of us on the same page?

- FIRST THE SOUND: there is nothing wrong with the “sound” of this, it’s some kind of production anomaly that hurts the “sound”
- THE LEVELS TOO HIGH: I don’t believe this is the problems since the peak level is at -1db, which is perfect. You’ll notice on discs that are over mastered set at 0db with hard compression to make them LOUDER. IMHO this style of mastering is obnoxious and sucks! There has been much discussion on this the last ten years or so about this elsewhere if your interested. I stopped buying “remastered” stuff after getting some Floyd and Stones Some Girls since they sound like shit. All their doing is compressing the hell out of the mix to make it louder, but that ruins the dynamic range, which is one of the most important elements of good music I.e., see the GD! Luckily, the GOGD folks don’t do this!
- BAD COMPRESSION: sometimes if the recording levels were too low there can be a bad signal to noise ratio. You’ve all probably heard this with a beloved tape that you have to turn up extra loud to hear, which then makes tape noise and hiss super noticeable. BITD sometimes folks would use a compressor. This cuts off some of the level peaks but boosts some of the quieter sounds, hopefully making the ratio of noise to sound more tolerable. But there are limits to how much you can use this method without causing hard compression or limiting which can cause the processor to distort.
This is referring to all analog too, digital is even more unforgiving about clipping etc. I wouldn’t think they’d use this methodology on a distributed piece of professional work, but it could be possible? If they wanted this show released bad enough and the tape was noisy...? And/or If they felt that the vast majority of people would never notice it, who knows?
- TYPICAL 73: agree, besides these issues, and perhaps some differences in the mix I.e., Bob is really nicely present, this sounds very 73...
- THE MIX: this is not the mix. Whatever your feelings are on the mix, that isn’t the problem
- THE USUAL: yes there are the “usual” “dropouts”, “unevenness”, etc, but none of these or the usual stuff people comment on, are the problem, this is different. In all my years I’ve never experienced this!
- WASHY: not sure what that means, but I doubt that’s it either. Washy sounds like more of the “normal” idiosyncrasies found on 50 year old non professionally recorded tape.
- WOBBLY: : same with this, not sure exactly what is meant as I’ve never heard it used in professional audio terms before lol, but I’m guessing it’s same as above in that it’s a “normal” item that occasionally is noticeable? If it’s meant in regards to variable tape speed issues, that is not the problem we’re referring to here.
-“IN THE BEGINNING”: this problem has nothing to do with the often occurrence of the mix taking awhile to be dialed in by the mixer etc.
DARK-STAR: though there is definitely a clipping factor here, I can assure you it’s not due to amplifier clipping. My MC 601 mono blocks have circuitry to prevent clipping, plus, I don’t push them that loud. That’s the whole point of having 600 watt amps, headroom! It’s all about phat tone, not volume! I don’t like super loud anymore, so I find around 90 db peaks or so at the listening position of about 7-8’ is plenty loud. At that volume, the amp meters usually are registering 60 watt peaks, so no where near clipping.
I’m curious what you mean about your equalizer “evening” out the sound besides the eq? I’m assuming you have some kind of limiter in the unit? I’m curious what unit your using? EQ itself has nothing to do with this problem.

A little info on EQ though: it is usually used for 1 of 2 reasons; professionally, it is used as little as possible to tune a room, like a studio or dedicated listening room using sophisticated analyzers and testing equipment.
The second general use is for preference; the way many of you use it to suit your personal taste influenced by the gear, and speakers/headphones your using. It is also used similarly to mix individual sources for live and recorded music. Though live EQ is also used for room issues, it is more often used to “color” sound to preference, not to make things accurate. Whole nother thing there that the reader can look up about accurate vs “good” sound...
But research increasingly shows that phase/timing issues are the biggest negative factor on sound and unfortunately EQ can cause unwanted phase issues. If you ever wondered why Mickeys studio stuff is the gold standard it’s because he doesn’t use EQ but instead painstakingly uses appropriate mics and mic placement. If you must use EQ, you should try to cut prominent frequency’s instead of boosting others. Like turn down the bass versus turning up the treble. You should never boost if possible. The little op amps in the knobs were not intended to be used as amplifiers, but that’s what your doing when you boost! Sorry, I don’t explain this stuff vert well. So if your having to boost all those upper frequencies, no offense, but you might have bad sounding speakers and/or significant hearing loss, something more common in us older folks than most might be aware of. Like you could have hearing loss and not even realize it unless you get tested! Of course all that really matters is if your happy with your rig, no matter how much or how little it costs etc, the only thing that matters is if your happy with it!
- SMALL BATCHES: I disagree that it’s not possible for damaged small batches. Yes their using the same master, that’s why it’s called a master, but that doesn’t mean that batches of blank/raw discs couldn’t be flawed or that somehow a setting got changed during the master transferring. I don’t think it’s the former but could be the latter?
It could be something as esoteric as there were weird power issues on the grid at the plant during part of the run? Again, I don’t think that’d be the case as any real professional facility would have isolated, professionally treated power, but it’s an example of the many weird things that can happen with electronics and electricity that most folks have no idea about.
HOW PEOPLE ARE LISTENING: what your listening on may well be a factor if your not hearing it, but I doubt this is caused by what your listening on. This is definitely a production issue, either on the original tape, or during the subsequent production.
I’m still wondering if they ever used a limiter and/or compressor on the original recording? It would make sense to have one since Kidd et el can’t be sitting there the whole time riding the mix like that. These guys had other responsibilities, so to ensure that something/someone doesn’t occasionally clip the recording, using a soft limit could smooth out those occasional peaks. But there are limits to this (no pun intended), if someone turns up significantly louder, it’ll still clip and can cause audible distortion by overdriving the limiter/compressor etc.
This to me would explain the phenomena. If your sharing a unit via a aux mix on a mixing console, that means everything, all sources potentially get bussed through that unit. If the unit isn’t set just right, any time anything engages the unit, there could be audible artifacts caused by this. That’s why I think this may be it, since it’s not effecting only one source, and it’s not everything all the time. It’s effecting most sources but not all the time...

LOL, being such an audio nut, not knowing what’s going on is more annoying to me than the actual problem, though I think it’s bad enough that I’ll need to look into replacements. It is definitely very interesting, at least to this geek!
Anyway, I’ll go through song by song and document as much as I can and report back.

I hear some loud hi-hat in places. Like the beginning of Jack Straw. If you get a chance can tell me if you hear the same kind of loud symbols on the "Big Railroad Blues" on PNW boxed set June 24, 1973 Portland? I sure do.

Sir James

That is pretty much what I currently have.

About 6-7 years ago, I was looking for a new car. Well, new to me. Buying a new car is one of the biggest rip-offs known to mankind. You are much better off purchasing a slightly used one for a 1/3 or more less. Anyway, I went about my search by bringing a copy of DaP1 to the dealerships. The whole point was that since I spend so much time in the car, I wanted a nice sound system. I would simply turn on the car and listen to the music. After a minute or so, the salesperson would ask if I was ready for a drive. "Not needed" I would reply to a perplexed look. "Thank you for your time." Most wanted thousands more for an upgraded sound system. I wound up going with Acura because the sound was excellent and the price was significantly lower.

Ha!

Jim, you had me at "There is really only one solution". I sensed some chortle-worthy shenanigans on the way.

Awesome Version Alert -

My favorite part of Casey Jones is the finale where they repeat the chorus a bunch of times and everyone joins in and plays "denser" I guess you would say. The combo of Pigpen's Hammond, Jerry and Bobby laying it on thick, and Keith's piano gradually building in tempo - it's just fantastic on this night.

I think Pigpen was really wielding that Hammond with some exceptional skill at that point. Never flashy, but he could play fast at need, was always on time, and always picked his spots with musical know-how. That was quite a period when they had both Keith and Pigpen playing together.

Edit - whoops - would help if I provided a date - 5/18/72. I'm still rummaging through that show.

Follow up

So, I listened to the release in the car this morning. Now I am more baffled by the fact that most folks can't seem to hear the distortion. The best way I can describe it, as I stated in my initial post, is that the cymbals are way to high in the mix. It's quite a nuisance. I also recant my earlier comment on the problem not being on the 9/7 release. It is very evident on HCS. Hell, even our dog can hear it.

It's a shame because it detracts from an otherwise fine release.

Fleury

He certainly is a game changer, VGuy. He is one of three guys up for the Vezina Trophy as top dog goalie, and I think it would be spooktacular if he won! You’re right - we have a series, same with Tampa Bay & Isles.

BTK - I am just reading Bill Graham’s bio, and I’m at the part where he talks about the closing of Winterland. I would have loved to have heard a show or two there, or either of the Fillmores, or the Carousel Ballroom. Legacy concert halls.

Whew

Big thanks to whoever from this site talked VGuy off that ledge at Caesar's Palace last night. Assuming it was AJS or Mike, anyway.. a big thanks from all of us.

Back to your regularly scheduled Cumberland Blues.

Lotta poor VGuy got the Cumberland Blues

Where’s the love for the GOGD?

Homeless Joe and Hockey

Gary, CEDIA= custom electronics design and install association...
Boss used to take us all kinds of places, them we merged and went corporate and we go nowhere : (
Homeless Joe was this cool black dude who works that corner. But rather than just pan handle, he liked to try and help you in some way rather than just take, a symbiotic relationship. I heard him give some of our crew restaurant tips and one of my associates who knew about such things said his advice was spot on! He turned me on to a handy little convenience store that I wouldn’t have otherwise found, so I bought him a meal. I’ve never seen a person j walk/cross a street through traffic as well as homeless Joe (that’s what he called himself) Unfortunately, there were many other beggars that were not like him, and they seem to come outta the woodwork.
The GT was a cool old place though, loved parting on the pool/roof!

NAMM, always wanted to go, never did, bet it was fun!

HOCKEY
Yes, price was good, but it seemed eerily similar to AVs. The slight mojo shift; the Habs seemed to come out skating harder then I’ve seen, while the Knights seemed ever so slightly less jacked than usual. And like the AVs tge game could of easily gone the other way, so yeah, good hockey eh!

Hey Jiminmd

You do know why the box hasn't been announced don't you? They won't do a thing until the playoffs are over!!! Enough already. Hockey in late June wtf? Go back to 6 teams already

And...

Yeah I'm from Boston originally, what's it to ya

I

moved here in '78 just in time to prep myself to see every Greek, Frost, Kaiser, Civic Center, show they played. And a lot more that they wiped out when they put this new God forsaken site update in. I'm not gonna try and remember them all again. And forget the east coast shows. I don't even remember living there

RE: PF

Yeah, that post holiday depression is a bitch!
After six months of no work, it’s been three weeks and I still have it! ; )

SNAFU, you might be on to something as Dave is Canadian!
and I think playoffs are a national holiday?

Me and My Hockey

Played a little bit as a kid. Predators fan but channel that shows them has dispute with cable provider and dropped them. Do have a local college that plays good hockey and a minor league team that plays well also.

My dealio, I wish the Stanley Cup was the week after the Super Bowl. Why start in the fall with playoffs in the summer. Nothing like watching hockey when it is 100 degrees outside. Wonder if any others feel the same way?

5/3/72 vinyl

Icecrmcnkd - sorry to read that you have had some problems with the above album. Mine arrived this morning, and so far, I have been lucky. I have played the first two LPs, and there hasn't been anything wrong. Hopefully, you will be able to get the sticking and jumping sorted out...its a great sounding record.

I remember when I had problems with a new cd player last year, and SimonRob ( I think) suggested it could have been due to the fact that I had gone for a high end player. There seemed to me to be some truth in this. The shop who sold me the cd player replaced it with an identical model, which works like a dream....almost. It has recently started taking longer to initial cds, and they can take longer to start than they should. Anyway....I wondered if your turntable was high end ,and had increased sensitivity as a result. Mine sounds great...its a Pro-Ject, but its not the most expensive model out there.

Simon

check pm

6/17/75

probably not a soundboard available

but I wish there were

6/17/94: it rained like a mofo (wet and cold), but I enjoyed the show none-the-less. Pretty, pretty good for 1994.

CAPTCHA after every single post?

They are trying to drive us away. Gardening aprons and now this.

grr.

Thanks Gary

I will reply in full in due course. Right now I'm preparing to watch football (soccer, right). European Championship 2020 (delayed) - Netherlands v Austria.

Proudfoot/ 6/17/75

Proudfoot, they have a copy of 6/17/75 in the vault. So, I'm. sure we will see it released one day, probably for the Blues For Allah 50th. Let's hope they release the whole show and. don't chop it up.

Simon

Awesome I am sure it is go Nederlands!!!

PF

guess you can see why I was upset yesterday.

We just need to watch and hope for a little moderation and self-correction. We tried to warn them years ago about all of the hackers, now we seem to be thrown in with the hackers instead of part of the family trying to push this old ship forward to the new generation. Shoot, and I aint even old school head like others.

RE: Me and My hockey

GF
I watched the last game of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals between Flyers and Blackhawks on a giant tv in an outdoor patio in Aruba. Wearing shorts and no shoes with the water and beach in the background. The combination of summer and hockey made for a oddly memorable experience. Would have been much better if the Flyers had won.

I get it, GF

I should just avoid coming here so much, but it's my little hit of distraction crack. Plus, I have a thing for GD.

I have told myself to limit myself to one visit per day. The Captcha stuff _each time_ might be the grain of rice that tips the scales.

Identify bridges, Deadhead! Identify them! "has anybody seen the bridge?" "where's that confounded bridge?" Please add Led Zeppelin and the Doors to my earlier list of palette cleansers.

Speaking of old school

If I have my mind right the list of old schoolers here:

For number one, and forgive me if I leave some out, we have Nappy and Bolo or Bolo and Nappy. Fight amongst yourselves. Bolo said he was out walking with his mom when they came across the Human Be-In so that is January 1967. He also stated that he was intrigued (if memory serves) with what was going on but was a young lad. He also said his first show was Winterland 1973, cant remember which show. While Nappy saw his first show in 1969 (or was it earlier than that). Obviously some serious cred for both.

Then, I would assume is SimonRob with Bickershaw E72 for which he wrote the liner notes.

Then, I am assuming ForensicDoc with his November 30th (think I have that right Doc) Dicks Picks 14 concert.

Now I would assume BTK would be right in there, maybe even a little earlier.

Hmmm, I know I am missing some that saw pre-hiatus. Please speak up or correct this humbled servant.

Think it was SNAFU today mentioned his pedigree but maybe his first show was Boston some time.

I know there many others, I consider myself to be second generation some may reckon time as third generation but at least I got on board.

But as Jeff Smith always says, Onward, let's push this space ship Onward to infinity and beyond!

Edit: Or, at least , the Bus did come by!

PF

and this goes to Keithfan also. I have a little ADD, very introverted, usually in my head. So when you wrote about Bridges and re Captcha, I didnt even tie in with the Zep remark. All, please forgive me as I am slow, just like the Mouse Avatar, a fine outstanding slack-jawed yokel.

With Keith the other day, it took me a while to get your subject as the response to the Chemistry call I gave. I didn't even think of my subject line as a call. It is I was just thinking of Chemistry when the melody came into my head.

All of these things relate to perception. I am slow to perceive but I chew cud a long time which leads to some depth of understanding.

Oh well, Ramble On.

Great news hopefully!!....

....I reported my broken Dave's glass to damage report and just got an email that a replacement is en route. Fingers crossed that the second time is the charm. Bubble wrap people!! Please and thank you.

FWIW... 6-17-75

6-17-75 is listed as being among the returned Betty Boards, the implication being that the soundboard is in the vault.

This show is special to me because in summer '75 (I've told this story before), a friend arrived from California with a large tape reel. We located a playback machine and hooked up a cassette deck and listened to and copied a killer audience tape of this show, just recently performed a month earlier. We were starved for live Dead so we busted out the Thai stick and grooved out.

Yes, I believe this is the only possible companion to the 50th Blues for Allah.

That is all.

hopefully, Vguy...

your replacement will be packaged inside a Stanley Cup for your GKs.

I will be in Las Vegas next week, but my wife _would not_ approve of contacting someone from online.

I understand it will be HOT. If you hear an ongoing, high-pitched screaming whine, that's me.

I was in LV in June 94 when it was 115 or something at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. That was horrendous (the heat and the show on 6/25...I missed 6/26). How do you LIVE there?

I plan on mornings in the pool, afternoons inside AC, nights out and about (for short periods of time).

6/17/75 one of the returned Betty shows?

:)))

If that happens....

....screw the glass. I'm keeping that Cup!
117 degrees yesterday. 114 today. 111 tomorrow. Things are looking.....up!

117

Ouch

Daverock

Audio-Technica AT-LP-120-USB turntable.

Not super high-end but also way better than the suitcase turntable I played my Looney Tunes records on as a kid

This turntable has a lot of adjustments that can be made to the arm so maybe I just need to tweak things a bit to stop the skipping at the beginning of the album.
Once it settles in the sound of this new release is quite nice.

Proudfoot

Without humidity it will feel like 85.
You’ll be fine.

And, you don’t have to let your wife know that you partied with Vguy.

Unless he get’s you arrested and you need your wife to post bail for your.

Extra reCRAPTCHA?
A few days ago it was letting me skip the quiz.

What about Gainesville?

OK after reading numerous comments about this stellar show, I finally hooked it up last night for a good listen. That second set rips! Awesome sounding FOB! I'm ready for this one to be released, also.

Jerry Garcia and Friends 6/17/75

Yeah I was there at Winterland for this artist benefit. Fun times.

Triple reCRAPTCHA

I fixed a typo in a previous post and had to take 3 quizzes to move forward.

I suspect that the different appearance of the site last week was due to the scrubbing and cleansing that was going on.
Sadly, it’s probably a knee-jerk reaction to the keys to the vault being stolen in a just detected hack from weeks ago.
Now we know why we haven’t received a seaside chat about the hypothetical upcoming Box, the recording of the chat was lost along with all the releases that had been prepared for the next 5 years…..

Unfortunately, dead net was not on Biden’s list to Putin of things to stop hacking….

No need for Count Vlad to tunnel into the vault.
He just hacked his way in.

OK, cramming for my next reCRAPTCHA quiz.
Crosswalks, bridges, traffic lights,…..

GF

Boston Music Hall '71. Not a clue which one, didn't know it would be important to me 50 years later lol.
Damn when I saw the email I was hoping I was wrong about the playoffs

June 94

before the crazy heat in the Silver Bowl they played Seattle and Eugene. Nice and cool, even rain for the 1st night of Eugene. Photos of Jerry playing in leather bomber jacket I think from 6/13. memorial coliseum in seattle was an intimate venue for the time - show was GA and you could walk anywhere i think not many people. and 6/13 is an excellent show. I mean it. Huge Scarlet-Fire to open Set II. And set ends with a fantastic, and I mean fantastic, Morning Dew. Jerry crushes it. Unfortunately the only SBD source for the show is the 1st 1/2 of Set II. 6/14 is an unusual set list but really well played, another fun show. During That Would Be Something I was thinking that Hunter wrote some lyrics that even '94 Jerry couldn't forget - didn't realize it was a McCartney tune from "bowl of cherries". Oh - the second Samba - I really dug it, its a super solid Vince song (Hunter lyrics no less) - change my mind!! 1st night of Eugene was the only night show of the 3 Eugene shows. I missed it for work - goddang it - the only NW show I missed from '90 on. My friend got dropped in the eye - it had been awhile but he was like ah yes I remember this. It poured rain. He loved it. Maybe best show of the 3 in Eugene that year. Alas, no circulating SBD for that night.

Life long Blackhawks fan here. fun to see all the hockey talk. didn't really follow this season much cause my energy was necessarily elsewhere. all I can say is may the best team take the cup

recaptcha has been green lighting me as of late - just get the green check mark. what i saw during the weird times on this site literally had me not logging in.

117?

That’s uninhabitable.

RIP - Frank Bonner. One of the most underrated sitcoms of all time.

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

6/17/75

yeah this definitely needs to be released - as suggested maybe with the Blues for Allah 50th.

Gary, old school, old and in the way

Add me to the list, bought the first album on day of UK release, saw them at Hollywood Newcastle under Lyme (in the summer time, Mungo Jerrys breakout would you beleive, lol), and by the time 72 rolled around, had convinced a fair few friends to get on the bus with me, Dark Star night at Wembly, Bickershaw ( hi Simon!) and 3 Lyceum shows.
Also saw 2 of the 3 Ally Pally Wall of Sound shows on their next visit, but was very disapointed, something didnt click, they were demonstrably a lesser band in my opinion, I put it down to the coke, this is the moment my interest began to wane for a long while, I also hated Mars Hotel for the generic songs, Loose Lucy, US Blues. Look at the words and compare with anything off Workingmans...your milage may vary!

To start things off , Dave’s Picks #39 has no filler

Thank God!! Now we know!!!!!!

I was waiting patiently for news on upcoming Dead releases, and now we have it. You may not believe this, but……Dave’s 39 will have……NO BONUS MATERIAL!! As this is the case with 90% of the Dave’s releases, I was stunned.
And now finally, news on the box!! Wait for it……it’s delayed!! Holy shit, I just dookied my drawers. As always, we owe LoveMyGurrl a SUPER large debt of gratitude for digging this revelatory information out of the depths of silence.
I have a scoop of my own……tomorrow will be….. Wait for it…… Saturday!!

Enough of this delusional GARBAGE already.

117

But it’s a dry heat!
Was in Phoenix once, before cell phones, 115, needed to use pay phone, sneakers melting to the hot asphalt...

Shakedown Stream

The Box announcement will come before next Wednesday’s Shakedown Stream.

The Heat Is On

It’s a cool 104 degrees here at 5000’ in southwest New Mexico.
The hottest summer I ever spent was a winter in Phoenix.” I said that.

here's to Frank Bonner

WKRP was a favorite show in my youth.

Chat's, boxes and re-craptcha

Wow in battle for security, they now want even let company names be placed into posts? Smells like Europe 1940.

And to Bailey Quarters, Too

A big shout out to Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers) too, who is still among us, thankfully!
What. A. Dish!!! It was a very funny show, but had it been filmed in Mandarin, I would have still watched it to see the lovely Ms Quarters!!

Sorry about that

I was trying to write about last month's purchase of Warner by Discovery.

I believe

Box announcement and issues with website has to do with that purchase. If I am correct Rhino, controlled by Warner, now controlled by Discovery. They really need to use a white listing (websites with strong security and registered) instead of security by black listing (unsecure, dark web) sites that should be banned. That is all for now. More in a bit.

Bailey Q

Loni Anderson was supposed to be the looker, but Jan Smithers had a certain attractiveness that mere mortal teen boys like me could aspire to get with.

Yeah. WKRP. The outro song is great.

Misheard Lyrics:
Back to the boys didda, I like to have you here now
Zam to the bar in a room on me, uh-huh
But, we're looking far and I'm, I'm happy here to hear now
I need a woman through it, in a woman up-a here, uh-huh
Original Lyrics:
Mad tooth bar chin-up, box zing outta her hair now
Still do the modern day whack-a-mole ditto-o-o
What's that? Good bartender, i'da hat-beer 'n' head out
I said I wouldn't do it if a poodle had a lid on

I wonder if that poodle was actually the Yellow Dog...

BQ Lyrics to the music of CCR’s Susie Q

PF - Ms Quarters was definitely that sweet gal next door, whereas the Lonnie Anderson gal was the type that gave you the number of the local pizza joint for a phone number if you asked for a date.
A really funny show, great cast, I hadn’t thought of in years until hearing the unfortunate news about Frank Bonner. RIP, FB, you made us laugh!
