Wednesday May 6, 2020 “Daydream” Lovin Spoonfull
Sure we don’t need to repeat artists with the song of the day but there are always exceptions to any rule and well, the Lovin Spoonfull will always be that exception. This delightful tune, according to it’s author John Sebastian, was inspired by the Supremes’ song “Baby Love” (not really hearing that) and it was suggested by Paul McCartney that “Daydream” was the foundation for the Beatles song “Good Day Sunshine”.
Back in the mid to late sixties the Lovin Spoonfull achieved significant chart success with a variety of musical styles against the then overwhelming rush of Beatles songs and unlike many bands it wasn’t really internal strife that led to their breakup but rather a drug bust that created a swell of negative underground press against them…fake news?
Today is a fine day for a daydream and also to dive into the Lovin Spoonfull’s catalog to find out about Nashville cats, just what is special about six o’clock in the morning, why she is still a mystery, how to make up your mind, what kind of bait catches fish and so much more.
Stay safe and well...and believe in the magic of the music.
