Last Train To Clarksville

[JPSmit]

I thought records were things that athletes broke.

So,when did he change his name to Peter -
I'll always refer to him as "Pete".
I have a friend who met a guy,Bobb Allen,if
I remember correctly,who said that he actually
did a lot of the work on the Cobra coupe that
Brock took credit for.
I don't know if the story's true.He later
went to making fuel cells for race cars.He was
living in Grants Pass,Oregon last I heard.

Wow! - I still can't believe that a modified
GTO could beat a Cobra.

I distinctly remember the one where they raced the Monkeymobile against a Cobra Daytona coupe.

Yes. By the way, that particular Daytona is the famous "lost" car that was found in a storage locker a few years back. Here's that race:

(ps-I met Peter Brock, designer of the Daytona Coupe, along with his wife Gayle three weeks ago at a race. ~Here's~ proof

That is a <span style="text-decoration: underline">great</span> score of 45s! :jealous:

I'm guessing that many folks know this, but David Bowie was originally named David Jones.
He changed his name so he would not be confused with Davy Jones from the Monkees.

On a related note, I was listening to <span style="font-style: italic">A Prairie Home Companion</span> with Garrison Keillor yesterday on NPR.
The Show was airing from Shreveport LA and one of the guests was the fabulous southern guitarist, James Burton .
Burton did an amazing version of <span style="font-style: italic">Last Train to Clarksville</span> on the guitar.

Tuned in just as it was ending yesterday. Cajun group BeauSoleil, with Michael Doucet were also on the show. I happened to hear him live at the Columns Hotel in New Orleans last fall. Less than twenty or so people in the room where he was playing - great performer! I'll catch the rerun this afternoon!

.....I'll catch the rerun this afternoon!

Yes...Doucet was also great.

Too bad that PHC does <span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span> do podcasts.
I guess you snooze, you lose!

The musicians used by the Monkees were The Wrecking Crew and they were used by most of the bands of the day. Check out You Tube for videos of any performnces of the era and almost all were lip synced.

Milli Vanilli was a whole different thing.

Ah, the Wrecking Crew! Even the Byrds wouldn't have "gotten off the ground" if it weren't for the Wrecking Crew doing most of the playing on "Mr. Tamborine Man"! Read up on them, and go see the movie about them if it comes near your area.

Oh, meanwhile, "Last Train to Clarksville" is also the name of a new Dave Clark Five compilation!

My friend's dad was a member of the Wrecking Crew (Tony Terran). Seriously talented folks.

A moped will beat a Daytona coupe, if that's what the script called for.....
