And I was just getting started I just got back from my belated honeymoon two nights ago, and until then, it was not certain that I would be able to pull together a show in time. Fortunately, while I was abroad, I spent an irresponsible amount of money on vinyl, and had plenty of things up my sleeve. I spent all day yesterday, and most of today, plowing through records purchased in Naples and Barcelona. It should come as no surprise that most of it was prog rock and jazz fusion. Don’t worry, there’s a bit of a palate cleanser of blues and more rootsy fare. I would say that, overall, the show today was eclectic without being overly random.

Who wouldn’t want to be Flo & Eddie? You have numerous smash hits with The Turtles, go on to record and tour with Frank Zappa, then make a bunch of records that are as welcome on the Dr. Demento show as the rock charts.

I have been celebrating his life and catalog since, playing The Turtles, the 1970-71 iteration of The Mothers, and Flo & Eddie recordings constantly. Now it’s your turn to bask in the wonderful, warm, harmonic wackiness that is Flo & Eddie. In addition here are several other great live recordings from the likes of The Stones, Humble Pie, and Prince. Also, you get to hear Björk talk about farts.   Click here to check it out: LIC Radio 9/9/2025 ...
