Holy crap, that Woodentops tune just brought back the whole Friday night ritual in the 80s, watching endless hours of videos on Night Flight ... god, that was essential viewing.

Well, I'm glad I hit another nerve this week, Davy.

And say, ...isn't it about that time?

Haven't heard Rain Parade in quite some time. I think I've got this on cassette somewhere. Thanks!

Wow, the Woodentops! I thought they were a great band. They were kind of in the same vein as The Jazz Butcher to me, one of my all time favs. Thanks for the reminder!

I kicked-off quite a few mix-tapes with "Cruiser's Creek", back in the day.

Pretty much all winners but a few real faves with Bragg, L+R, Loft and Rain parade and especially The Woodentops. I covered them in my column at byt two weeks back. Still amazing.

You could say you inspired me on that one, John...saw the cover review..
