Hello, my dear friends, and welcome to another Dusty Show Accuplaylist entry. It has been a while since I neglected my archives, but now, it has happened. Checking the archives themselves, it seems that this archival neglect initially occured from Sept. 2008 through February of 2009. A five month span of failing to tend to the archives, of dropping the ball, of being too busy to keep up. And now, it's happening again. I'm falling behind. Let's pinpoint where it happened. December 13th, maybe? And ever since. Over a month. I keep waiting to snap out of it, but life is interceding. I must find a way to work around work. We all must. This week's show was originally supposed to feature a lengthy story I wrote last weekend while on retreat. However, I have experienced a number of computer problems after dropping mine on it's edge on the concrete. It worked fine for a week, but now I see that te back panel is half-loose and slightly bent. My cursor has a mind of its own, and I find that whole sections of my story were oddly altered by the injured brain of my computer. Perhaps its brain isn't injured. Perhaps it is a simple malfunction of the typing mechanism. At any rate, I'm sure it will cost in excess of $500 and I don't want to spend that right now. They will say something about possible hard-drive damage and start bellowing on and on about data retrieval and additional costs and lack of warranty and might take three to four weeks and .... I'm going analog again. That's all there is to it. AND. That's IF I ever get out on the streets again. Haven't done a proper interview since the slump began. Maybe it's been some type of post-election letdown. I'm not sure, but I'm running on creative fumes and sucking up valuable airspace that some youngster could use to launch him/her self to wherever they dream of being launched to. The moon! I say we go to the moon in this de-cade and do the other thing! I found these 12 LP's upstate in my secret antique store. $1.50 ech. Buy 5, get one free. It had been a while since I lost my mind and bought too many crappy albums. I really did it this time. Here are the Dandy Dozen. 12 picks that each intrigued me on some level and promised (at least to me) to deliver at least 15-seconds each of something transcendant. Fabio sits in with me at the beginning of the show, and then bails as he often does to meet 'a friend' somewhere. Later in the show, I take some listener calls. Hope you enjoy this episode. Things aren't as they once were, but ... they never are. CPnyc12413 |

Jo Jo Gunne talk with Fabio. |
||||||||||
Jo Jo Gunne | Rhoda | Bite Down Hard | Asylum | 1973 | Featuring Jay Ferguson of "Thunder Island" fame | |||||
Turntable Three - Total FAIL! Missing a Channel. Ground Wire Dangling |
||||||||||
Again ... Jo Jo Gunne |
||||||||||
What intrigued me about Rhoda was the thought that it was a BAND composition, as opposed to a Jay Ferguson composition, so everyone in the group puts their two-cents in. Drum solo, guitar work-out - unusual prog time-signatures. A throw down Jo Jo Gunne jam! Of course, it's relegated to the last track on the LP, where good songs often wind up. I like this track and think it worthy. | ||||||||||
Fabio predictably trashes the drum solo. |

AccuPlaylist Comments |
||||||||||
Parker McGee | Talkin' 'Bout Loving You | Parker McGee | Big Tree | 1976 | LP | McGee wrote big hits for England Dan and John Ford Coley | ||||
I had never heard of Parker McGee before, but guessed that it would sound pretty much as it does. Mid-'70's soft-rock, a format I mostly enjoy. Parker wrote some big hits, and this is no doubt his chance to shine as a performer AND writer. |
||||||||||
Fabio Mocks the Synth Solo |
||||||||||
Yoke Shirt and Latticed Piano Music Holder |
||||||||||
This Sucks! |
||||||||||
Dan Fogelberg Discussed |
||||||||||
We actually did play a lot of Fogelberg on our retreat. He has many sturdy and sometimes moving songs. Sad he died of cancer not long ago. Dan Fogelberg, of Peoria, Illinois, always remembered, on Dusty. | ||||||||||
Fabio ... Hardened Old Reptile |
||||||||||
The Rings | It's Not Enough | The Rhythm Method | MCA | 1981 | LP | Boston band? | ||||
This Rings sounds pretty damned good to me. I like it. Nice ambient drum sound. A hook. Pleasant tones. Accepted into my library with a 6 rating, sax solo and all. I am letting sax back in because the hating of it is fascist. Blow, Danny! (Rick James) | ||||||||||
Fabio Hates It |
||||||||||
Stink Banned |
||||||||||
Nancy Sinatra | Long Time Woman | Nancy | Warner/Reprise | 1969 | LP | Featuring many Wrecking Crew members | ||||
Co-Ramp |
||||||||||
Something touches me about this Nancy track. Pretty melody. Evocative of the past to me. Makes me feel a little sadness that isn't altogether unpleasant. . | ||||||||||
Johnny Most and Glenn Ordway | Excerpt | Not To Be Denied -The Road to the Boston Celtics 15th NBA World Championship | Columbia Special Products | 1984 | LP | Celtics Championship Commemorative LP | ||||
Sports Talk with Fabio |
||||||||||
Santorum |
||||||||||
Bacon Thins@ How I Miss Them |
||||||||||
Trevor Rabin | Red Desert | Trevor Rabin | Chrysalis | 1978 | LP | Fabio Says Farewell | ||||
Cool effort from a young South African man bound for bigger glories. Pretty ambitious. Interesting where it led. Worthy, I'd say. Doesn't mean I love it, but it interests me. You? dusty@wfmu.org | ||||||||||
My Imaginary Mind |
||||||||||
Humpy Talk |
||||||||||
Engelbert Humperdinck | Too Beautiful To Last | In Time | London | 1972 | LP |
I love humpy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdalton/4434076369/in/photostream |
||||
Fabio Returns to Say Goodbye ... Again ... and get Humpy with it. |
||||||||||
The Dodgers | Don't Know What You're Doing | Love on the Rebound | Polydor | 1978 | LP | I was too lazy to actually flesh out the story of The Dodgers Badfinger roots. I'll leave that to you. | ||||
I do notice a definite Mott The Hoople influence on this song. The guitar tone (Ariel Bender or Mick Ralphs .... more Mick-Like) and the song structure. SOunds like Marionette from "The Hoople." Then it sounds like Day Tripper, and then it gets psychedelic and backwards. I guess that's all GOOD! The Dodgers! | ||||||||||
Dodger Talk with the Lingering Fab |

The Dandy Dozen |

Lobo ... real name? Kent LaVoie |
||||||||||
Lobo | Thinking Of You | A Cowboy Afraid of Horses | Big Tree | 1975 | LP | Lobo ... of Me and You and a Dog Named Boo fame. | ||||

Constructive Criticism from Steve |
||||||||||
Harnessing the Power ... Again .... but ... Spent ..... Spent! |
||||||||||
Cock Robin | When Your Heart Is Weak | Cock Robin | Columbia | 1985 | U.S. band, big in Europe in the mid-'80's. I like the singer's voice. Peter Kingsbery, A female vocalist, Anna LaCazio, shares lead vocal duties. Steve Hillage-produced. I like their unusual song-structures on the record. Pop production, but unorthodox tuneflow, ala Pet Shop Boys. | |||||
Phonedeth™ |
||||||||||
Stuff - Red Sauce - War - AWB - |
||||||||||
Sky King | Secret Sauce | Secret Sauce | Columbia | 1975 | LP | Someone informed me that this was the Tower of Power horns on this track. I just like how CRAZY it is, even though it's not my 'type' of music. Still have to appreciate the freneticism! !!!! | ||||

That's it for another episode of The Dusty Show. Thanks for listening, and for your continued support. I know it's been a while since I did interviews, and the show has been a bit more thrown-together than usual. I'll admit it, the 'job' gets in the way a bit, but I have to do it. Bills and all. Just like you. Still, I'll try to do my best and I hope you'll keep listening when you can. Fun times ahead, I'm sure. You enjoy these cold winter months and tune in next week, my friend. Until then ... take care and ... Always Remember ... Clay Pigeon - NYC |

His big break as a singer came in 1965. It was at this point that Gordon Mills, the then manager of Tom Jones, gave Arnold the new name of Engelbert Humperdinck, which is also the name of a 19th century German composer

@MarmKitty: I don't want to speak for Clay, but I'm guessing that having a job now = less time to spend on the streets doing interviews.
I hate The Man!

'E acts like a babe an' 'e drinks like a beast,
An' 'e wonders because 'e is frequent deceased
Ere 'e's fit for to serve as a soldier.
Serve, serve, serve as a soldier,
Serve, serve, serve as a soldier,
Serve, serve, serve as a soldier,
So-oldier OF the Queen!
Now all you recruities what's drafted to-day,
You shut up your rag-box an' 'ark to my lay,
An' I'll sing you a soldier as far as I may:
A soldier what's fit for a soldier.
Fit, fit, fit for a soldier . . .
First mind you steer clear o' the grog-sellers' huts,
For they sell you Fixed Bay'nets that rots out your guts --
Ay, drink that 'ud eat the live steel from your butts --
An' it's bad for the young British soldier.
Bad, bad, bad for the soldier . . .
When the cholera comes -- as it will past a doubt --
Keep out of the wet and don't go on the shout,
For the sickness gets in as the liquor dies out,
An' it crumples the young British soldier.
Crum-, crum-, crumples the soldier . . .
But the worst o' your foes is the sun over'ead:
You must wear your 'elmet for all that is said:
If 'e finds you uncovered 'e'll knock you down dead,
An' you'll die like a fool of a soldier.
Fool, fool, fool of a soldier . . .
If you're cast for fatigue by a sergeant unkind,
Don't grouse like a woman nor crack on nor blind;
Be handy and civil, and then you will find
That it's beer for the young British soldier.
Beer, beer, beer for the soldier . . .
Now, if you must marry, take care she is old --
A troop-sergeant's widow's the nicest I'm told,
For beauty won't help if your rations is cold,
Nor love ain't enough for a soldier.
'Nough, 'nough, 'nough for a soldier . . .
If the wife should go wrong with a comrade, be loath
To shoot when you catch 'em -- you'll swing, on my oath! --
Make 'im take 'er and keep 'er: that's Hell for them both,
An' you're shut o' the curse of a soldier.
Curse, curse, curse of a soldier . . .
When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck,
Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck,
Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck
And march to your front like a soldier.
Front, front, front like a soldier . . .
When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch,
Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch;
She's human as you are -- you treat her as sich,
An' she'll fight for the young British soldier.
Fight, fight, fight for the soldier . . .
When shakin' their bustles like ladies so fine,
The guns o' the enemy wheel into line,
Shoot low at the limbers an' don't mind the shine,
For noise never startles the soldier.
Start-, start-, startles the soldier . . .
If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white,
Remember it's ruin to run from a fight:
So take open order, lie down, and sit tight,
And wait for supports like a soldier.
Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . .
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!
