From Dave McAleer's book again.
Some side notes that Dave had for January to March 1965:
*** America's first successful answers to the British Invasion were Gary Lewis & the Playboys and the Beau Brummels.
*** Capitol Records second-biggest album-selling artist, Nat King Cole, died from cancer. The Beatles held three of the top ten LP chart positions. Beatles won the Grammy for Best New Artist 1964. Wonder why?
*** "Downtown" by Petula Clark won Grammy for Best Rock and Roll Record. Well, if Jethro Tull can win the Grammy for Heavy Metal, I guess anything is possible.
*** Alan Freed died at age 42 while awaiting trial for income tax evasion. As Little Steven says, "Thank you Alan Freed."
Back when a 45 cost 99 cents and an album $3.99 to $4.99.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
