Thanks, Jacki, and may I add my own wishes as well. May your blessings around the table last longer than the feast, itself!

we prepped to have my family here, this year, but, unfortunately, it became impossible for all of them, so Aletheia and I are alone, together, this year. My fam will, however, be straggling in over the next few weeks, so we’ll be having several, smaller, Thankgivings.

Just before hearing this, I listened to Haley Reinhart’s version on her album of 60’s covers “What’s That Sound?”. Haley’s version was stunning, damn near unbeatable!

The Twins version beat it anyway.

I had a discussion like this on FaceBook the other day. We agreed that it’s harder to tell avreally successful band now than it was in the 1960s. At that time, you rose to success on radio and TV music and variety shows (Ed Sullivan and American Bandstand, in the US.), as well as the music press, Mersy Beat and Rolling Stone. The TV formats don’t even exist any more, radio and the music press carry nowhere near the weight they once did. So Billboard charts, word-of-mouth, and YouTube viewership are about all thats left to tell if someone has broken through. The chat shows are still around, but bands have performed on many of them several times and never been noticed.
