    marye, any idea of the search tags you used? could you please find the vid again and embed it here or post up the tiny urls (see I'm learning) to the link. I searched on youtube right after I first saw the vid, but couldn't find it, then I searched again using Hippie Temptation, and other combinations, and other words, documentary, Harry reasoner, etc. etc. Haight, naturally 'hippie' gets a million hits... so it is impossible to wade through all of that... any ideas? I was going to go at this from the other end - and look for an original full copy, any idea what station broadcasted it or who owns the rights? was it on the history channel or something? I was even thinking if I called up Harry Reasoner, he might be 'reasonable' enough to share a copy... ( -: thankx and peace.

    I think I found about a dozen versions of it on YouTube but that was a while ago. For some reason all the online versions I've seen are very purple.

    dude, check you local public library, if they have a video lending library, sometimes you would be amazed at what you will find... or if you have access to a big city University library... good luck, if you find it, please send me a private message. thanks, CC Joe

    that clip is from a CBS documentary, circa 1967, called "The Hippie Temptation." Narrated by Harry Reasoner, who usually had better sense, as I recall. It's about half an hour long. Let's just say it will probably provoke mixed emotions.

    yeah, the thought about the road...
    yeah, the thought about the 'road' occurred to me, too. hopefully so. which, by the by, I'm heading EAST (the far east - that is) in a few weeks. long story, but the 'rats' in my life (you dirty rat) are keeping me from RatDog... I will bop back to the east coast and Hawaii for a bit, but point is, I will be 'offline' for about 3 months-- July, Aug, Sept. anyone wanna guest host 'Call the Tune'??? peace.

    One possible explanation
    Good old Occam's Razor. Re: gypsy soul, leadbelly, lou, etc: Maybe, just maybe, they are on the road following RatDog or going to music festivals and generally enjoying the summer music party scene whilest we are here in cyber-land, they may be experiencing the joys of real life actual reality hippiedom. In which case, they'll be back! | I'm just a, well...porpoise. |

    yeah...
    I agree GRTUD... and where is Lou Davenport?? so many folks who were posting almost every day... and then suddenly stop. one issue: they might not never see this post or your post, and never hear of our concern. Still no answer from Gypsy or leadbelly from the private message I sent them a couple of weeks ago... peace.

    I was wondering about gypsysoul, leadbelly and others myself. We had such a good time on the old board. Kind of sad that it's all gone, although I do like the new board (I wish I had my old name though). "This aggression will not stand, man....."

nope, nice guesses, but neither Peggy O or CC Rider and the show was from 1982... pretty close with the year, though!! peace "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

Upon further review I've concluded that the sound bit is "Touch." If it isn't "Touch" then it's "Bertha."

Oh, yeah, about the "Playin'" Controversy: I couldn't find a real good comparison with Keith on keys as it seemed he used the Wah-Wah until Keith left and ditched it around the time that Brent came around. I definitely like both styles, but the Stratocaster + Wah-Wah is a tone that just really did something for me. Now, its not like I'd ever complain about hearing it either way, but yes, Joe, you did point out many other factors that contributed to the "not quite the samedness" of the two versions, but I did the same thing you did: I listened to so many versions of Playin' that just floored me that I forgot what I was doing! Bozo Bus: I was in a band called "San Pedro Circus" back in 2001 when I played there. We were on tour and I had a bunch of my Denver buddies show up so it was kind of extra special for me. That and I actually played well that night which I had been struggling with at the time. I think there was an opening band, but green cookies and two hours worth of basketball in the hot sun before the gig make most of it very blurry. Somebody call this tune quick before Joe starts thinking he is a genius or something. (nyuk nyuk nyuk!) )(I'm just a, well...porpoise.)(

not touch, not Bertha... nice guesses. Sken, I used to be a genius, then I realized it is more fun to be a 'fool' on the ship of fools... You thought you was the cool fool, and never would do no wrong... Heaven help the fool; guess I showed the sons of bitches Heaven help the fool, professional gimme-fiver... The wisdom of hypocrisy, the common sense of fools... Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools... peace. by the by, I've been waiting for Gypsy Soul to try this round... she was the one who coaxed me into hosting this gameshow in the first place. ain't it always the way? just when you think you are developing a fan base, they skip out on you... the show must go on.

http://img142.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_30735_oscar_122_544lo.jpg but with imagevenue.com, use the url that says 'Hotlink Image on a Website or Auction' for some reason on this board, it does not take the other ones... and it will end up looking like this shit at the top of this post... not the cool pic of Oscar. peace.

not Cold rain and snow... please try again. I'm gonna give this round another 24 or 48 hours before I ditch it and start round two. I'll admit, the sound quality on that old audience recording sucked. peace. "The highway is for gamblers, you'd better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence"

the only thing the clock is suggesting is where I left my brain all those years ago... every clock in my house is set to 5:15. (my old lady is a total Who fanatic) but, it is not Stella, not Row Jimmy, Not Uncle John's, and not Baby blue... nice tries, but nope. ( -; please try again. peace.

nice try, but nope. not Sugar Mag. OK, one hint... this particular song is the first song of a second set played in 1982. if no one guesses this one in the next 48 hours, I'll tell the answer and move on to round two. please don't touch that dial.

that the light strumming isn't the part to be keying in on. I may be wrong. Right before the clip ends it sounds like the onset of Victim.
