If Herb Geller was in the band (as he often was in the 70s), I would certainly give it a listen. There are such things...

I mean, yeah, there's a lot of schlock to be had there. But the General Boomer Musical Militant Illiteracy cast its plagueish pall over all of music, meaning that people could no longer listen to the actual music, they could just respond to Pavlovian "feelings" of "me". So. ok, "easy listening" "sounded like" "square" music, when in fact, sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't, but those idiots were completely unequipped intellectually or emotionally to tell the difference. And has it gotten any better? No.

On my Robert Farnon Pandora channel, they keep pumping me a big log of Hollyridge Strings cuts, all of which I enjoy immensely, especially the Bech Boys covers. I thought they only did Beatles covers, but as it turns out, no, they did more than that. See, Boomer vanity would not allow for this being an actually very good interpretation of the song.

Boomer narcissism, that's what killed it.

The super hot (distorted) hi-hat on Surrey, nobody ever talks about that,

Earl is mentioned in the Sonny Rollins biography. One mention only. But check the index, he's in there.

Good.
