Follow Up on Mark Dawson of the GrassRoots Show
I got to meet Mark Dawson of the GrassRoots on Feb. 8, 2013 for the first time in person. Great show by Mark and the band at St. Francis Prep. He will be playing at Westbury in the spring and I hope to have him up the the studio to hang out and/or play DJ. One of his songs is "Fantasy" - also the same title of the song by Earth, Wind, and Fire. The theme of the second hour of last week's show was "Different songs with the same title", so here are the rest of them played that night (since some of you have asked for the playlist):
Wild Thing - Tone Luc / The Throggs
Imaginary Lover - Al Kooper / Atlanta Rhythm Section
Charlie Brown - Coldplay**/ Coasters
Try - Pink** / Crabby Appleton / Janis Joplin
Lonely Boy - The Black Keys** / Andrew Gold
** Grammy Nominated Artist for 2012
PS - Time didn't allow me to play Hold On by Alabama Shakes** which has the same title as Herman's Hermits and Wilson Philips. Time also ran out for Madness by Madness and Muse**.
We will get to them in a future show.
