During the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's first three albums(pre -CircleUnbroken) when they appeared to be a sort of left-coast Kweskinjug (with J. Browne, whose "Buy For Me the Rain" was a sort-of hit for them), they did "Euphoria", with the couplet, "When your mind starts reelin and a-rockin"/Your inside voice starts squeakin' and a-squawkin'" This was, I think, before J. McKuen, the banjo player, and his brother W. got hooked up with Steve (banjo music is happy music) Martin. Intersections:"Auntie Grizelda" by the Monkees or " Mr. Bass Man" ( with Lloyd Thaxton and his rubber caveman mask?)
