Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 12, 2015 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Hate that I missed the Genesis track. I got the 45 for my 11th or 12th birthday. I remember feeling sorry for the kid who brought it because two other guests gave me more expensive LPs (Rush and ELO, I think), so I made a really big deal out of what a great song it was.

Phoebe Snow was awesome. I don't know who Titus is but pretty sure everyone from the record was there. Had really good seats that my friend hooked us up with. I think Walter Becker may have been there but I could be wrong. Drew Zing is a smokin player.
