Beau Brummels - Laugh, laugh

1. Definitely lip-synced.

The harmonica player jumps in to sing vocals before the harmonica part is completed. The wardrobe department also didn't do the band any favors with the black turtlenecks and the dingy poorly-cut suits.

Despite all of that, it's still a good song.

2. I just listen while I work. This was a struggling midwest band. I saw them live in 75 in a ...

... bar in Cleveland, Ohio. Couldn't have been 30 people there including me and five or so friends. McKendry Springs played first, including a psychedelic National Anthem.

Great concert. Both bands played their hearts out. Red Dog Saloon on 25th street just north of the zoo.

4. I was in Fort Ord when this was released...

on my way to Fort Benning.

This song played twice a hour for weeks. Definitely a favorite of home-sick soldiers.

Thanks Marble Falls for the memories.

5. IIt was one of those programed stations where they played fifteen songs twice an hour ...

... in the same rotation. America was breaking with Horse with No Name and Jackson Browne had a hot hit when I was in boot camp.

6. Was the Jackson Browne song Doctor My Eyes?

Just wondering. That's his biggest hit that I know of.

7. That was it. Browne had maybe three or four big hits. He became a popular touring band ...

... and a band other musicians went to see and jam in.

9. There's A Great Guitar Solo...

...on "Doctor My Eyes" played by Jesse Ed Davis. He was a native american session player who played with a bunch of people, including Leon Russell.
Super tasty, musical solo.

8. Fun Old Tune

Has that 60s stomp feel to it.

10. About this time the Brummels were featured on a Flintstone's episodes as the Beau Brummelstones ...
