Added two new pages to https://thevillagerockers.com/

The Young Rascals https://thevillagerockers.com/the-rascals/

and

Song Of The Day https://thevillagerockers.com/song-of-the-day/

View the first Youtube video linked on "The Rascals" page. I have two interesting and personal stories about the band and Stevie Van Zandt. But, I will save them for one of our first meetings.

And, "Song Of The Day" will allow you to show us your favorite song. Use the "Submit A Song" page.

Today's song is my pick for 1967, "How Can I Be Sure". I saw The Rascals perform this song, twice, both times at the UNC Chapel Hill, Carmichael Auditorium. The song captivated my imagination and has stayed with me for 53 years.

Hey Rocknroller, did you get the green light from TV Rec yet? I'm looking forward to your group.

And yeah that was something when all four original Rascals reunited recently. But they didn't tour so I didn't get to see them. Darn it all! Loved their album Once Upon a Dream. Saw Felix solo a few years ago. Great show but he did confess he wanted to retire. Can't blame our heros for wanting to pack it in. It is a job after all.

No, and I have noticed that there have not been any new clubs displayed on the inside front cover of the weekly Rec News supplement for some weeks.

Thanks for asking, I will call the Rec Dept tomorrow.

Do you mean on this video? That would be Phil. If you mean in general, I'd have to say Ringo. But I might be a tad biased.

Yes, LpW, that is Phil Collins, you win the vaulted, and much admired, cardboard record, to be presented at our first meeting.

Huh? Just curious - you think most people wouldn't be able to recognize him? Maybe I'm biased there, too, having been a huge Genesis fan for a large part of my life, but I thought he pretty much became a household name when he went the mainstream pop route in his solo career and became at least as recognizable as say Billy Joel or Rod Stewart, no?

Thanks for the cardboard, btw.
