Good morning, musicologists and welcome to midweek mayhem in The Mermaid Lounge! We’ve immersed in the sixties today, and that’s a good thing!
Here’s your midweek musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. The Original Sixties Rotation: Various Artists
We kick the day off with our first playlist and, yes, it was small at first. Today you’ll hear The Beatles, The Monkees, Sonny & Cher, Joe Cocker, Simon & Garfunkel, Little Eva, The Everly Brothers, The Searchers, Dusty Springfield, The Drifters, The Dave Clark Five, Johnny Rivers, Bob Dylan, The Animals, Petula Clark, The Rolling Stones, Procol Harum, The Turtles, Del Shannon, The Temptations, James Brown, Fontella Bass, The Box Tops, Blues Image, The Four Tops, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Booker T & The MG’s and more!
4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Blood, Sweat & Tears
BS&T is another of those bands with two lives, one with the great Al Kooper at the helm and another with David Clayton Thomas. In either iteration, they were pretty damned great.
8:00 p.m. Jethro Tull Live at The Capital Center, Landover, MD, November 21, 1977
We close out the festivities this evening with Jethro Tull live in Landover. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys a few times in my lifetime. They never disappointed.
Get on it, people. We are here 24/7 completely free to the public with no commercial interruptions and no chatty DJ’s to clog up the flow. All you need to do is hit the button below. We’re not kidding.
