Music Deaths: Billy Joe Royal
I was especially saddened to read about his death yesterday in the Northwest (Ill.) Herald.
BILLY JOE ROYAL, 73. Died October 6, 2015.
Roomed for awhile with Joe South, who got Billy to record a demo of his "Down in the Boondocks" which turned out to be a huge milestone in Royal's career as it was picked up by Columbia Records and went to #9 in 1965. he had several big hits in the early part of his career with "I Knew You When" (#14-1965), "Hush" (#52-1967) and "Cherry Hill Park" (#15-1969). Deep Purple had a bigger hit with "Hush."
In the 1980s, Billy Joe Royal invented himself as a country performer with several hits including "Burned Like a Rocket" and "Boardwalk Angel." These songs also were quite popular with the Beach Music crowd.
It was 50 years ago that Billy Joe Royal was enjoying his greatest success. "Down in the Boondocks" had just dropped off the charts and "I Knew You When" was just climbing them. "Down in the Boondocks" is one of those remember songs for me. It takes me right back to my parent's gift to me for my graduation from eighth grade when they sent me to Canada on a fishing trip. This song and "I Got You babe" were played over and over.
He'll be Missed.

WLS Top 40 Survey for October 8, 1965-- Part 1: "Spider Song"
Fifty years ago, these were the songs on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey in Chicago. That was pre-FM on good old 890 AM.
Sings that I am not familiar with will have more information.
40. TRY TO REMEMBER-- Bros. 4 (as in Brothers Four) Great vocals by four guys who sit around a lot when they're singing. In the style of all those great 50s male singing groups Went to #91 Billboard.
39. SPIDER SONG-- Kids Next Door. Folkie group with a little more rock to "Itsy-Bitsy Spider." Went to #89 on Billboard.
38. BUT YOU'RE MINE-- Sonny & Cher. Debuted it on the "Ed Sullivan Show." Went to #15 on Billboard. One of their lesser-known songs.
37. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY-- Dolly Parton. The old Tune Weavers song. Didn't chart on Billboard pop chart. That didn't happen until 1974 with "Jolene."
36. RANG DANG DOO-- Sam the Sam. Actually "Ring Dang Doo." Went to #33 on Billboard. As good of a garage rock song as it gets.
35. CARALIN-- Strangeloves. Follow Up to "I Want Candy" and sounds a bit like it as well. Went to #39 on Billboard.
34. MAKE ME YOUR BABY-- Barbara Lewis
33. NOT THE LOVING KIND-- Dino, Desi & Billy Looking a lot like a really young Beatles on the video in suits, ties and haircuts. Big-time jangling guitar. Went to #25 on Billboard.
32. KEEP ON DANCING-- Gentrys
31. LOOK THROUGH ANY WINDOW-- Hollies. Very familiar with this one as it might have been the very first 45 I ever bought. If it wasn't this one, it was "Any Way You Want It" by the Dave Clark Five.
Remember, you can check out these songs and videos at You Tube.

Pat Dailey at Skeeter's October 3, 2015-- Part 2: The Songs
Pat Dailey was supposed to start at 4, but didn't take the stage until 4:51
As usual, he would say all sorts of preposterous things evoking choruses of "B-S, B-S, B-S." And, he pretty much had a story to go with every song. Pat performs alone. But his six-string covers the whole band sound. Like one reviewer of a Pat Dailey show said that the instrument Pat plays best is the crowd. It is constant interaction.
His set list:
It's Gonna Be Alright (This is his usual first song.)
Out Drinking With Me (Imagine going out drinking with Pat. You could get in trouble.)
My Father's Last Words (Never turn down a chance to get laid.)
I Got to be Drunk to Do That (Written by Pat Dailey and Shel Silverstein) (Some things he just won't do.)
You Don't Have to Be Drunk to be an A-Hole (Written by Pat Dailey & Shel Silverstein) (And, Pat sure proves it.)
Body Parts (Beer bellies, broad butts and hearts.)
We'll All be Together (One that I'd never heard. He said that Waylon Jennings sang with him on it.)
More to Come. --RoadDog
YOGI-ISMS: 90% of the game (baseball) is half mental.

Pat Dailey at Skeeter's in Carpentersville, Illinois, October 3, 2015-- Part 1
We drove the miles to Carpentersville, hitting most every one of the many, many stoplights along Illinois Highway 31 and 22 on red, so it took considerably longer to get there than we had planned. But, fortunately, we had left in plenty of time, expecting a huge crowd there, especially since we knew parking would be very limited.
Plenty of parking when we arrived, an hour before Pat Dailey was to start at 4 p.m.. Tickets cost $10 each with part of the proceeds going to breast cancer research. This was not a nice day to have an outside concert. Overcast, threatening rain and a bit cool. We waited in the adjacent Tiki Bar for the start of the concert.
Skeeter's Saloon used to be a house and a bar was built in the garage, so it is very small. It is primarily a biker bar.
I was impressed with the juke box in the Tiki Bar as it was one that played CDs, something you don't much see anymore. Even better was 2 plays for $1 or 5 for $2. The new ones you see these days have a much larger selection, but most songs are $1 for one except a small number of 2 for $1 ones.
Another guy in there was playing lots of John Denver and Beach Boys. I had him put on the "Rodeo Song" and the "I-95 Song" which got a lot of others to singing. And, of course, "You Never Even Call Me By My Name."

Thanks A Lot Pat Dailey: My Cold Came Back
As I sit here coughing my fool head off and typing away with my two lil' fingers, I remember that Pat Dailey, the singer, has a lot to do with it. Had he not been playing outside in the cool temperature and light mist at Skeeter's Saloon in Carpentersville, Illinois, on Saturday afternoon, I probably would have been feeling much better right now.
So, thanks a lot, Pat.
Well, it is almost worth it because Liz and I sure had a good time after not seeing "The Coolest SOB in the World" for around ten years. This was one of the few times he ventures this far west from home base out at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, or north from the Keys.
And, it was just like we hadn't had that long of a break from him. We were singing right along and enjoying the expressions of those who'd never seen him before.
I'll be writing down the songs Pat played tomorrow.

A Better Way to Have the Major League Baseball Wild Card Playoff
How about having a best of three series. The National League one-game playoff will be this Wednesday, something that folks around here (Chicagoland) are mighty excited about for some reason.
I'd say it would be better to start the games today and play home, away, home for the team with the better record.
