Thread Name: Lovin' Spoonful....again.
Subject: RE: Lovin' Spoonful....again.
Hooray for John, world's only rocknroll Lead Zither. Damn fine harmonica player too(like Father,like son). Sebastian would be singin "I remember her eyes, soft warm and brown" with his eyes closed and that blissful grin so that you knew he did remember. All the sad business with Zal and the drug bust. John in his Nudie Suit with the marijuana leaves on the lapels being interviewed by Dick Cavett.Say, I heard he had a new band together, mainly jug-band stuff? NRBQ and Joey Scampinato are devoted to that Spoonful sound,still.

The Spoonies always bring one of those Sebastian grins to my face

I was surfin in the ocean greasin' sun tan lotion
When I got wiped out by a Beach Boy
He was surfin' when he hit me, but jumped off his board to get me
and he dragged me to the shore just like a child's toy
How we stumbled into land with all the waiters eatin' sandwiches
and tried to mooch a towel from the hoi palloi
He emptied out his eardrums, I emptied out mine
and everybody knows that the very last line
Is "the doctor said give him jug band music,it seems to make him feel just fine."

John.Steve.Joe.Zal. Wherever you guys are...what a treat it was. Ya didn't have to be so nice....
