1967 BONUS #39

Our planned third part to The Cryan' Shames trilogy had to be postponed until Jim Pilster and I could find adequate time to spend together to recap his memories ... but I promise you, it's coming.  

Meanwhile, it was great to get this from James Fairs of The Cryan' Shames after our special spotlight pieces on the band ran earlier this week ... as well as a few comments from the fans as well ...


Nice job on the Cryan' Shames info as you collected it ... thanks Kent. 
(Once again, I NEVER read your site*, and have no idea who is writing these emails.) 
*except for all the times I read your site   

I am plagued by almost insanely detailed memories of those days ... like it was yesterday that I got my Gretsch Country Gentleman, and was appalled by how poorly it played. This sent me on a lifetime study of neck shapes, fret sizes, scalloped necks, strings, pickups, bridges, and electronics. This stuff is second nature to guitarists today, but we didn't have Internet pages dedicated to these studies back then. 


 When you met a guitarist from another band, it went one of two ways:

1) he wouldn't talk to you (?) or

2) "Hey Man!!!! What do YOU do???" ... because you had to do something, since the guitars were almost unplayable out of the box.

I clearly recall meeting Hendrix and hanging with him ... such a nice guy, yet he thoroughly understood who he was. A rare combination. There's a story to be told there. 

I met and hung with Tony Maiden (Chaka Khan) ... and watched him sit, holding a metronome running along, for hours. I began to see his relationship to time as a unique understanding of the intervals between events ... patterns all around us that can be explained in algorithms ... or intuited by Tony Maiden.  (Tony actually shared an apartment with me for months ... what an education!)

I toured with Gregg Allman, and watched him as he immediately found the heart and soul of any piece of music that he came across. It was amazing to see him walk on with only the most important elements of songs and music sticking to him. No clutter (but a few fatal flaws). 

As I mentioned, we were off the map of the CBS 'mindset' (a euphemism for an unknowable state of mind) ...

But the gigs changed, in the sense that the crowd knew that at one moment, there would be a pause ... a moment before the first lines of "It Could Be We're In Love" would begin ... and each person might have latched onto a different phrase or thought, and internalized it in their own way ... 

For example:
  • Someone leaving to head off to college or the Viet Nam war might focus on "and I don't want to go ... you know I love her so ... 
  • Some one who hadn't found romance might focus on the metaphysics of 'just the way things are, can be reflected in a star'
And ... a hit is a hit:  it brings people together. That song made sense of a time of remarkable change, because each person could share in it.   

I felt like we all went through it together. 

The musicians weren't the only ones exploring. I'd meet people building geodesic domes (Dennis Conroy was one of them) ... getting into hydroponic plant cultivation ... 
And they were traveling ... with no gigs to play! Free spirits! 
I remember one night at the New Place in Algonquin ... "It Could Be We're In Love" was (and would be, for awhile) number one on the charts. The guys (mostly) who had come to check us out in the early days had bands of their own; good bands ... and we were the established artists!!??!! How terribly strange ... as Paul Simon wrote, in another context.

I looked out, saw a number of familiar faces (the hills were packed with them) ... and they were so alive! I had that moment ... the one where it was plain and clear that we were all one. I thought "look how far we've all come in these two years ..."  Then I counted off 'Hey Joe', and we all had a great time!
Thanks to all of you. 

The success of "It Could Be We're In Love" helped Sugar and Spice, Sunshine Psalm, and other songs to have their own moment ... their own space ... and, for a period of time, there was a balance in the band.

But balances will shift ... and it seemed to me that we never found the next step ... we would have been an ideal band to shift into a 'police-like' phase with 'every step you take' ... whatever ... but we didn't find it. 

We had a great run; these were very special times. That's what we're on stage to commemorate, doing these Cornerstones shows. The new show starts with a great version of  "First Train to California," kicks into ''Sunshine Psalm,' followed by "It Could Be We're In Love" and ends with a rousing Sugar and Spice. I'd love to add our (killer version) of "Hey Joe", and a song that I wrote for the show but we're only allowed four songs. 

All the best,
James  

I used this opportunity to ask a few other questions about future plans ... and reflections on "back in the day" ...  

kk (Kent Kotal) / Forgotten Hits:  Are The Shames going to stick together and do some shows outside the realm of Cornerstones? 
James Fairs:  I have a tune called "A Teen Poem To God" that could be a great new single (we'd need one). We should do 'Hey Joe' ...  lots of ideas ...  

kk:  There are SO many great songs that could be played again. (Even when I was at the Bloomington gig I heard fans in the audience clamoring for things like "Cobblestone Road" and "Dennis Dupree From Danville".) 
JF:  We only get four songs. 

kk:  For a Cornerstones show, yes ... but if this launches the opportunity to do more Cryan' Shames shows, I have to believe the fans will be there.  If you grew up in Chicago in 1967, you owned a copy of "A Scratch In The Sky".  I've always been curious, too, about the album version of "It Could Be We're In Love" ... the weird interlude that breaks up the song and then rolls into laughter.  I know that was "of the times" (thinking of what James Guercio did to "Susan" by The Bucks) but it always felt to me (if I can be so bold to say so ... 'cause I will always call it as I see it) that you intentionally stuck that in there to break the mood ... almost like you felt guilty for having created something so beautiful ... am I even close here?  The single edit is literally perfection from end to end ... it deserved to be one of the biggest songs of The Summer Of Love (and was, at least here in Chicago).   
JF:  Thank you.  A friend of Nancy Priddy, one of the NY singers, stopped by, and it just happened. I didn't (and don't) know anything about the Guercio bit. I looked at it as a way to incorporate a female perspective into the LP version, but it was just a shot, not a big deal.  

kk:  I remember Hooke telling me one time that when "Greenburg Glickstein" came out he was SO confident it was going to be a monster hit that he bought a house and got married!!!  There are SO many instances when The Cryan' Shames should have been a major '60's act ... I honestly feel like nobody got short-changed the way you guys did.  
JF:  Greenburg Glickstein was a good LP tune ... but it changed the dial in the listener's mind to a new Cryan' Shames radio station. It was like they couldn't find a place to get the Shames they loved ... Jim Golden said he felt doomed when it was released: the band loved it, he knew the DJ's would hate it. But who really knows? 

 kk:  Were you involved with The Ides - Shames Union at all ... or were you long gone by then? 
JF:  I jumped in for a bit. I was hoping it would recapture the magic of the Shames Reunion at Navy Pier ... but it was not to be.  

As for the future ... it just may be more of a reflection of the past than one might think ...

I believe that the 'infinite possibilities of the Internet' may have given way to 'the new standard look and feel of the month'. If you look at the differences between the Flock, Four Days and a Knight, The Cryan' Shames, Chaka Kahn and the music at The Earl of Old Town (just to name one set) ... you get a sense of the chaotic (and remarkable) diversity of the times. 
All the best,
James

LOVED reading James Fairs' comments on the Shames hit and FAVE tune for yours truly in '67, too.  I can imagine he might have come home to the Feb '67 Chicago snow storm that launched the American Breed ... and a GREAT Christmas-y tune, "A Carol for Lorelei"!!!  How cool is that? Here's an ad for the Shames 45 as pictured in Billboard in July 67 when it was "taking off."




 Also, a photo Jim sent to me years ago with the band (I believe) in that 2nd story hotel room area where things transpired into a four-week #1 hit in Chicago and on my personal chart as well.  



As to James' comments on CBS not promoting them, see the ad above from Columbia in Billboard, although these ads only reached the media people.  My friend Mike swears he saw a Columbia promo video for the song when it was out.  WLS DJ Ron Riley's brother was a Columbia rep, so I asked Ron years ago if his brother might have such a video still.  He told me that he had sold his stuff off ages ago.  I did find that in mid-67, there was a story in Billboard about Columbia starting to use promo videos for upcoming 45s.  They mentioned a Lou Christie song as the first.  To date, I have yet to see THAT video either, so maybe there WAS one for the Shames song?
He's pretty right on Moby Grape.  Columbia rushed FIVE singles out from their album and all bombed.  NONE of the five reached even as high as the Shames 45 did on the Hot 100!  Yet, they spent quite a bit on that first album.
The June / July, 1967 Cryan' Shames Fan Letter mentions regrets that Columbia's promised national tour for the Shames (mentioned in the previous newsletter) has been cancelled due to promotion of Moby Grape, and the Shames would have to wait until "next year."  However, the Billboard ad shown above would tend to indicate that the Shames' 45 hitting big in Chicago DID get them out on a smaller tour, albeit a southeast, east and Midwest one only.  The newsletter also mentions that the Shames' single was recorded in New York over four days after flying to NYC on May 22.
James' band member description is just great.  Gives me goose bumps just to think about how this quickly became my fave band of all as a kid.  Sure wish we could hear a bit of Denny's song "A Chance At Loving You" that the Shames performed onstage back then ... the lyrics were printed in the Shames newsletter at the time.  Sending along a photo of Denny from then as well.  (It sounds like he's not in the best of health these days ... and doesn't really like to discuss his days with The Cryan' Shames ... otherwise it'd be great to get his perspective on this exciting time in the band's history.)


I'm wondering if the "Christmas Song" that James wrote for the Children's Ward of the Cook County Hospital is still kicking around in his head?  Maybe it is "A Carol for Lorelei" before it became that title? 
I'm so sad that WLS came in so poorly when "It Could Be We're In Love" was on top in Chicago.  I certainly remember hearing it at #1 on Art Roberts' Top 3 Most Requested when it came out.  I could only catch it being very buried in static and AM noise once with reception at a minimum that summer even at 10 PM when WLS normally would be at least listenable. 
One thing I know is that one Saturday night, the night Art let guest teen disc jockeys come on WLS and be heard by thousands nationally, his DAUGHTER got to play the Shames' amazing new single as #3 in the countdown.  Listen closely to the attached and you'll hear Art talk over the end of "Could Be" as his daughter stammers thru the countdown, followed by the Monkees at #2.  Cannot tell for sure, but wouldn't doubt that "Words" is the early played TV version.  This came from Art's tape used by Jeff Davis in the WLS tribute to Art when he passed away.  You need to listen closely at the start of this clip.  IF you were a teen DJ for Art, you were an everlasting part of WLS lore.

>>>The Monkees film music video sequences here in Chicago with the colorful rainbow backdrop later seen in the song clips for "Daydream Believer", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "Randy Scouse Git", "No Time", "Love Is Only Sleeping" and "She Hangs Out".  These became some of the best episode endings of the second season.  (kk)  

I'd venture to bet that like a lot of great places in that city, the building in which that filming took place is no longer standing or is close to being gone ... the old Oprah studio, maybe? 
BOB FRABLE

Looks like you were right ... I found this on a website called Steve Hoffman Music Forum ... The Rainbow Room (originally part of The Fred Niles Studios ... and later Harpo Studios, from which Oprah broadcast her talk show) was demolished last year.  

The former Fred Niles Studio building here in Chicago is being demolished, to be replaced with the new corporate HQ for McDonald's. It's where the 'rainbow room' scenes used in Monkees episodes were filmed. The producers of the Monkees' television show booked time for the band at the Fred Niles Studios, a giant film and production studio facility in Chicago's West Loop area. (Fun fact: The building that was once Fred Niles Studios is now the home of Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios. Previously, long before Fred Niles converted the building, it was the location for Chicago's Second Regiment Armory.) 
Inside Fred Niles Studios was a production area known as the Rainbow Room, a largely robin's egg blue-colored room with multiple thick stripes of color painted vertically on the walls, curving out from the center of the room. On August 2nd, 1967, The Monkees filmed most of the music sequences that would later be included in much of the second season of "The Monkees" episodes. Among the music videos shot in the Rainbow Room that day were: "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Randy Scouse Git," "Love is Only Sleeping," "She Hangs Out," and most famously, "Daydream Believer." 
Being bored with using the psychedelic Rainbow Room all day, the band and the Chicago film crew used different backgrounds to then record a video for Mike Nesmith's "What Am I Doing Hanging Round." Some of the completed versions of these songs were not even ready yet, so the band sang over the basic tracks of the recordings at the time. A promotional photo session also took place within the Rainbow Room.

 Kent,
We all seem to THINK we remember the "Summer of Love '67" as a great time.  I know I do. 
I took a vacation trip with family to Texas in August, which is when I finally heard the new Cryan' Shames single, 'It Could Be We're In Love" and because it was charting on KFJZ in Ft. Worth, I was in 7th Heaven when I found the actual 45 in a store and WITH A PIC SLEEVE!  WOW!  I was 11 years old and already a HUGE Shames fan. 
I could not receive WLS and WCFL well that month or summer, but over the decades have propped up my missing pieces with tapes acquired from friends who DID cover my lapses.  Thanks goes especially to FH members Stu Shea and Ed Erxleben (and Tom Konard) for their tapes that helped me compile the 18 minute retrospective of selected moments from summer of 67 on WLS / WCFL.
From Big 10 radio and the Big 89, enclosed, you will get to relive the magic of the classic Chicago Top 40 AM battle that was building for two years in the "Super Summer" of 67.  Kent will enjoy some of his fave moments like songs by the Doors, Sagittarius, the Hombres, a song written by PF Sloan and even a clip from TV's "the Fugitive!".  FH members abound in this bit as well.  Tommy James, the Lettermen, Davie Allan and more appear.  As often happened, Davie Allan's "Blues' Theme" shows up in an Adventureland advertisement (he likely should have made more money of these ad backings than the 45 sales!) as well as Larry Lujack's Silver Dollar Survey show.  There's WLS' Ron Riley making fun of the new Levi's commercials (which were quite weird that year) and his August 14 commentary on the British Pirate ships demise.  A couple of great Ban Roll On ads appear -- one a dead ringer for the Supremes and the other much alike the Yellow Balloon (is it them?) or Happenings!
There's gig announcements for the Mauds, Riddles, HP Lovecraft, the Shadows of Knight, the New Colony Six.  The NC6 get airplay for songs as oldies and new songs that summer.  AND, the Cryan' Shames hit #1 fifty years ago with one of my all-time fave songs.  Somehow, I included it MORE THAN ONCE!  I wonder why?
While the Cubs were sliding down the standings, the Cards and Red Sox were headed for a World Series battle.  For Charlie OFD, I attached Lujack's post summer Oct 12, 1967, comments about the Cards' game 7 victory over "his" Red Sox.  He could lay some claim to the Sox, as he had started 1967 as a DJ at Boston's WMEX AM.  Bob Gibson pitched a three-hitter and even hit a homer, himself, in ending an epic battle.
However, as you have mentioned a lot recently, there was rioting going on.  One thing that may have escaped our memories was the upheavals in Chicago radio that summer.  The summer started with the first big change in years for WLS in the last week of June.  Larry Lujack was installed as the new director of the WLS Silver Dollar Survey countdown (Super Summer Survey, at the time), replacing the ousted years long WLS veteran fave, Dex Card.  Lujack had been stolen away from WCFL where he'd been for a few months as the overnight jock.  This would start a DJ trading trend that continued until WCFL's top 40 format ended in 1976!  When I finally was receiving WLS in fall, I was shocked and dismayed at Dex being canned, but Lujack quickly found a new space in my heart. 
For a short time Dex would move to WCFL and count the CFL "Sound 10 Countdown" chart that summer.  Thus, the attached clip begins with Dex promoting the upcoming "Super Summer" WLS promotion the week of April 14 featuring a fast rising Jefferson Airplane song, "Somebody to Love".  That is followed by the station "switch" with Dex playing the JA follow-up "White Rabbit" at #17 on WCFL the same week as Lujack playing it on WLS at #20 -- the last week of July!  Dex uses his same lingo he used at WLS while Lujack sets his new style for the Big 89!  Keeping the great WCFL "in this mix" with Riley's opposition, Ron Britain, presenting his incredibly great "drop ins" humorous mixes of fun with songs.
Besides the survey show changes, the stations had lots of other things occurring.  Riley returned from a working vacation in England and spent much of his August 14 show talking about that trip.  Card ended the short CFL stint and opened his Wild Goose teen club.  Lujack began his various "address to the nation" speeches.  WLS's DJ's would go on strike in early September, prompting GM Gene Taylor and secretaries (and music director Clark Weber, I believe) to take to air shifts.  Gene would tell me that some DJs had a tough time going without pay checks while Dex would leave uncashed paychecks lying around often over the years! 
As heard on this tape, WLS long-term overnight man, Don Phillips, would leave WLS the last week of August.  Don makes a politically incorrect comment (acceptable in those days), even tho it pales in comparison to our president today.  Don is eventually replaced by Jerry Kay.  Jerry had been handpicked by Lujack, who had worked with him years earlier in Seattle at KJR.  Within the coming year, WCFL would start losing to WLS with the exiting of genius PD Ken Draper in spring 1968.  WLS would move DJ time slots around and Riley would move to later in the evening, making way for FH member, Chuck Buell, who I had heard at KIMN Denver since 1961.  Buell would take the evening slot and in coming months, Bernie Allen would leave and Art Roberts would move to mid-morning
Eventually, Lew Witz at 'CFL would bring Clark Weber and Riley to CFL in '69 too.  Things changed quickly as the decade ended.
Personally, I kept making my own charts in hopes of my dream of becoming a WLS DJ.  How cool that my faves, the Cryan' Shames, would hit #1 with "It Could Be We're in Love" on WLS the exact week that it would hit #1 (FIRST WEEK of hearing it for me) the same week!  Here's MY chart for August 3rd, typed on colored construction paper.  Of note, "Words" by the Monkees was charting for 6 weeks prior to "Pleasant Valley Sunday" due to WCFL and LS playing the TV version ahead of 45 release.  Their LP cut, "Zilch" was a charter for me.  "Sgt. Pepper" tracks were charting, too.   Obviously, I had HEARD Sagittarius' song, but was yet to catch who the artist was of this great song.  How I heard the Buckinghams' VERY RARE last USA Records release is a mystery to me as well.  I also was getting my first taste of American Breed songs as they entered my top 10 for the first of many many times to come.  As an FH exclusive info, the American Breed recorded some very special and excellent material recently before Gary Loizzo's passing.  Hopefully, we will heard some of these excellent tracks in the future.

We went to go see the film "Detroit" opening weekend and were a little disappointed to see that it was less about the riots ... deemed the worst riots in our country's history ... than the specific events that took place at The Algiers Hotel that night.  Still, it was pretty intense ... and shows you the mind-set of a nation (including a police force) in the midst of the so-called Summer Of Love.  The film "In The Heat Of The Night" provides another example of the racial prejudice that still plagued our country ... and is a far more satisfying film.  If you haven't seen it recently, may I suggest that you take a couple of hours out of your weekend and give it another shot.  INCREDIBLE acting ... and an incredible film.  (kk)

Hi Kent:  
I don’t know if you tuned in our Summer of ’67 Radio show on Friday but one thing we got into was the inaccuracy of the Charts (Billboard) when we played “It Could Be We’re In Love” by The Cryan’ Shames. It’s just apparent that the Big Charts mostly forgot about Fly-Over Country (Like Politicians). You had a Monster Hit in Chicago WLS, WCFL. Top 10 for the year. Chicago was the #2 or 3 market in US. Up here in Milwaukee it also was huge getting to #2. Milwaukee Was around the 10th biggest city in US, and that record could only muster a #85 Chart position? I don’t think so. That doesn’t take in to account any of the other cities it charted in. It just shows the Coastal Bias of the Big Boys over the Midwest and other places. Sad that it happened to some of these records and artists.
Ken
PS - Got a little plug in for Forgotten Hits, too!  And here is another 50 year old August '67 survey for you, too.


No, I missed the show ... but thanks for the mention!  We've seen it time and time again, the way some of these artists got short-changed ... and when we find HUGE discrepancies between the three national charts, one has to wonder just how accurate ANY of this information was once you got past The Top 20.  Again, hopefully The Super Charts account for some of this ... but unless a record was a flat out, across the boards, monster hit, it's hard to gauge just how popular any of these tunes really were.  That's what makes these local charts so much fun.  (Plus, of course, our own memories of this music.)  kk

It just dawned on me that I haven't been running the British Charts each month like we had begun doing at the beginning of the year.  (Looks like we left off with May ... which means we've still got the entire Summer Of Love Charts to run ... was there a Summer Of Love in The UK or was that just an American thing???  Anyway, here's a brand new batch of British Charts to bring us current thru the month of August, 1967.)  Rockin' Lord Geoff spent a lot of time putting this all together for us ... so the least we can do is run them!!!  (lol)  kk

Take care, 
Rockin’ Lord Geoff (in England)
 
Americans who only remember his string of hits in the late Seventies and early Eighties probably don't realize what an institution Cliff Richard is in the UK.
Rock 'n' Roll was strictly an American phenomenon until his 1958 hit, "Move It," became the UK's first homegrown rock record. It was the beginning of the end for the skiffle craze. He was proclaimed Great Britain's answer to Elvis. John Lennon once said that before Richard there was no British music worth listening to.
He was born Harry Webb in colonial British India and his family emigrated to England after India declared it's independence in the late Forties. As a teenage performer he took his show business name from his musical hero Little Richard. Young men in the UK grew up wanting to be like Cliff and / or his backing band, The Shadows. Both together and separately they dominated the UK charts before The Beatles. They were the original UK rock superstars.
Richard had only limited success in the US until 1976. The Shadows, the UK's most successful instrumental group with five UK#1's in the Sixties, has never charted in the US. One of The Beatle's earliest compositions (Lennon - Harrison) was their 1961 instrumental tribute, "Cry For a Shadow".
I remember while living in London in the late Sixties that Richard's signature song from 1962, "Bachelor Boy,"
was still getting a lot of radio airplay. He is the UK's most successful solo artist and biggest seller behind Elvis and The Beatles.
"The Day I Met Marie" was released in early August, 1967, and peaked at UK #10. For many years he called it his favorite of his own many recordings. It was written by The Shadow's lead guitarist Hank Marvin, who also recorded it on an album with 18 year old Olivia Newton-John on backing vocals. In the 1967 year end NME Poll Awards the song came in fourth in the Best Disc Of The Year category.
Richard was named NME's 1967 Best Vocal Personality. He was also voted Top British Male Singer by readers of Melody Maker for the seventh time. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Sir Cliff is just about Britain's most popular all around entertainer (TV, stage, screen, and music) of all time.

Although Cliff Richard had limited chart success here in The States, he officially broke thru in a big way in 1973 with his Top Five Hit "Devil Woman."  Prior to that he had placed an incredible SEVENTY HITS on The British Charts, including nine #1 Records.  Many of these are GREAT recordings that should have crossed over in a very big way here in America ... but he just couldn't get his records played here.  (One of the things The Beatles worried most about, prior to coming to The United States, was the fact that Cliff Richard bombed here ... yet was the biggest thing happening in England for years and years.  George Harrison recalled that when we went to go visit his sister Louise in Illinois in 1963, a Cliff Richard movie was reduced to bottom of the bill of a three picture showing at the local drive-in there.)
Since we're talking 1967 here, let's salute Cliff's #1 British Hit "Congratulations" today.  (It managed a #98 showing here in The States.)   kk

Hi Kent -
This is fab!  It really highlights the Pirates.  Thanks for posting.
The work you have done on this tribute is great.  Many thanks.
Just to advise ...
It was midnight our time on 14th August when Radio Caroline - the last of the pirates - closed down
The other very big STATION - Radio London BIG L - closed at 3 pm UK time - 50 years ago today  
I will send you audio from last night during which I gave a further "insight" to the day and history of Radio Caroline.
I expect quite a response to all the hard yards you put into this piece.
Regards -
Geoff

Due to some last minute scheduling conflicts, I was unable to appear on Geoff's radio programme ... which is a REAL shame because we had planned to do a nice tribute to Pirate Radio on the 50th Anniversary of The British Government shutting things down.
But Geoff, being the trouper that he is, percevered without me!  And we now have the audio to share with you.  Just click the link and listen to the Pirate Radio portion of the show.  (kk)

Hi Kent -
Although we did not manage to get together on Monday (pity that), I did put a section together live on air on Express FM for the 14th August 50th Anniversary of the closing of Pirate Radio.  (Shame as I really gave it one hell of a build up on social media and live on the show) 
I did some speeches to explain pirate radio as a substitute ... hopefully you can use it ?  (I know you are upset, too.)
Meanwhile, here is the promised audio:

Yeah, it broke my heart to miss the show, especially since we had timed it so well to honor the anniversary.  (It's still so hard for me to believe that back in 1964 and 1965, when our entire country was being engulfed by The British Invasion, the folks back home in "Jolly Ol'" weren't able to listen with the freedom that WE were, some thousands of miles away here in The States.  Weird, too, since all those "Beatles At The Beeb" sessions came out a few years ago ... so obviously SOME amount of time was being spent nurturing the pop market.)
You did a real nice piece.  Thanks, Geoff.  (kk)

Here's a download link to one of the radio specials Geoff Dorsett did commemorating the days of Pirate Radio ...

Just a thought re the Pirates of 1967 ... This was the signature of Radio Caroline.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYmTJ9uA5AQ
Take care,
Rockin’ Lord Geoff (in England)
