Thank you! > > [Get Ready|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gyeGudMMYU] I always have liked Rare Earth too. I still have most of their albums, including their first (1968, before they went to Motown, and including their original, first recording of "Get Ready") and the original 1970 "Get Ready" LP with the rare first-pressing rounded top. Looking through the YouTube listings I counted what appeared to be almost a hundred different posts of various versions of "Get Ready" but I was surprised not to see anywhere the original version, from that 1968 album on YouTube. I wonder, in fact, even when the song was a hit in 1970, how many fans even were aware (then and now) that the hit version everyone knows was a remake of an older song from the band's first album.

casablancalover Posted March 29, 2012 This is so awesome. Thank you all! I was feeling so down this morning. I looked at my calendar and saw I had taken one day off from working my jobs in the last 22 days, and I shouldn't do that. Wears me out. I have been so busy that I didn't even have time to post a calendar in one place to incorporate it all. Then I read your comments about Rare Earth and GFR most excellent number. Rare Earth did that so many times and so many subtle ways (had the great 2 disc concert set--the one in the "Army Surplus backpack" design) I loved that version too! In radio, the disc jockeys thought it perfect break music- they could actually take the break and few listeners complained.. I always thought it was something they didn't want to repeat the same every time, with each member providing his own interpretation to the tune. I will now listen to Grand Funk Railroad again. Yeah, I need to get to work again this morning. No time.. Wasn't that a Guess Who hit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casablancalover Posted April 3, 2012 Scottman- Is it a lovely morning yet on the West Coast? I am in SWFL, and so its a bit like the West Coast, but it is truly filled with some real cranks and more than it fair share of wingnuts. In spite of what other's may say, the crazies are here, sporting sidearms, with mullets and a twang. It's a great place to write comedy. Peace reigns here again; the "snowbirds" for the most part have returned home up north and we can enjoy our Spring. Good morning!

scottman1932 Posted April 3, 2012 Hi, Casablancalover, It is a beautiful morning here California! B-) Glad to hear that things are staring to return to "normal" there in SWFL. It appears that both coasts seem to attract the crazies (we've got our share too), must be the great weather that attracts them. Hope you're enjoying your morning.

casablancalover Posted April 4, 2012 I like the Little Rascals theme.. Never knew the title, I must have listened to it hundreds of times. And, Moonlight Becomes You is a favorite!

scottman1932 Posted April 4, 2012 Yes, Marvin Harley and LeRoy Shield wrote some great music for the hal Roach studio. More about the moon: Kate Smith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3JUsu8Xv48 Ethel Ennis: Artie Shaw & Peg LaCentra: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
casablancalover Posted April 4, 2012 Kate Smith, and yet you didn't go with the obvious.. Very good. I like Sinatra's version too. [Frank Sinatra|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Q1zDFRtC4] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted April 4, 2012 Like that Sinatra version too. Good choice! Yes, I thought about using "When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain", but I thought it was a little too obvious. "Makin' Faces At The Man In The Moon" was the flip side on the 78 rpm issue of "When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain" when it was first issued in 1931.
