Is that a teaser or a coming attraction?

Not sure. It's a lot to write up. Could be a chapter in a book. I'll have to work on it.

Todd said...

As a "Constant Reader," I look forward to hearing it. Especially because I've never heard of "Creme Soda" and it seems you enjoyed it. (Three stars is a pretty good day.)

Sal Nunziato said...

I wrote up a short version. It'll be on Burning Wood tomorrow.

I bought this by mail order like Bomp or similar. It is a strange one. Not to over inflate but your story will be interesting.

Superman Lover use to be a part of Jon Cleary's regular set list about 15 years ago. Great song.

Pleased To Meet Me is perfect for any occasion. I imagine it’s my favorite because in 1987 it was a constant companion - and there was significant competition that year. Heavy rotation, everywhere. Thanks for the memories :)

Sal Nunziato said...

He still does it occasionally.

It took me a few years but, if you listen to JGW's "A Real Mother For Ya" and "Ain't That A Bitch," you'll realize this is where Cleary got his act.

Dr Wu said...

Excellent story, sir. :)
Thought initially you might be going to write about this:
