From the Sam Eliot's Mustache collection!

Early stuff... lots of unreleased songs here.  If you're a fan of the Hooters, you'll find this tape interesting.  Sound quality is pretty great for a forty year old cassette tape.

The last song ("Man In The Street") cuts off just before the end of the show, right at 59 minutes and 50 seconds.  This was likely the last song.  It's a cover of a Don Drummond & the Skatalites song that was a Top 10 hit in the UK in the fall of 1965. 

They dedicate the song to WYSP program director Michael Picozzi.  

Now...that's a pretty obscure cover.  These days, here in the future where we can hear every song by saying "Alexa, play "Man In The Street" by Don Drummond" it seems like nothing...but in 1983?  Who the HECK knew Don Drummond in 1983?

And yes, I just walked out into the kitchen, and said "Alexa, play Don Drummond "Man In The Street" and sure enough, the 1964 Studio Records 45 started playing.  Just like that, I ask for music and I get it.

The future is both wonderful (in that everything is available) and terrible for the same reason. Being ahead of the curve...like the Hooters... isn't special anymore.

But seriously...the Hooters had interesting, diverse, and obscure influences.
