The Livers and Arlo

In the last post, I metioned that there was a song called "Beatle Time" by the Liver s on the WLS Top 40 for April 10, 1964. I'd never heard of it before, but went on You Tube and found it. I's have to say it was the Beatles meet the Ventures and Surf Guitar. //// The Feb. 9-15, 2014, American Profile Maazine had an answer about Arlo Guthrie in its "Ask American Profile." Frances Elliott, from West Union, S.C. asked: "When did Arlo Guthrie record 'City of New Orleans'" Is he still performing?" //// Answer: The folk singer, 66, had a Top 20 hit with "City of New Orleans" in 1972. (Of interest, the song was written by Chicago's Steve Goodman.) Still touring about ten months out of the year, he say, "Music is good for the soul, whether you're playing it or just listening." //// He was born in Coney Island, NY, the son of famed folk singer Woody Guthrie. Probably best-known for his great masterpiece, "Alice's Restaurant." //// You Can Get Anything You Want From .... --RoadDog
