On this episode:
Big Maybelle meets Norman Greenbaum and his eggplant that ate Chicago (but not the South Side!).
Red Simpson, the "Bard of Bakersfield" wrote 30 songs for Buck Owens, some for Merle, never drove a truck, and recorded in Vancouver, WA. He played Portland this past Labor Day (age 81).
Thomas Jefferson Kaye's production style was to invite as many friends to the studio as possible. This is the guy who spent $100K on Gene Clark's No Other, brought Jerry Garcia and Commander Cody to Link Wray's session, & Steely Dan to his.
