9/4/18 - Catch the Wind - Donovan

HarpFac: This is the slow version. Safe to say, all versions of this song from OGR are the slow version.

 

[Harpua]

9/5/18 - House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

HarpFac: TK was surprised to find out they were British

 

[Harpua]

9/6/18 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles

HarpFac: I assume TK knew they were British, as well as Eric Clapton, who, despite being British, lives in Columbus OH

 

[Harpua]

9/7/18 - Peggy Sue - Buddy Holly

HarpFac: From Lubbock TX, not in England

 

[Harpua]

9/10/18 - Turn Turn Turn - The Byrds

HarpFac: can sorta name the Byrds. Not sure what his fascination is with Roger Mcguinn's name change

 

[Harpua]

9/11/18 - My Way - Frank Sinatra

HarpFac: Frank disliked the song.... who knew

 

[Harpua]

9/12/18 - Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees

HarpFac: Song is either about going to Canada to avoid Vietnam or going to an army base to fight in Vietnam

 

[Harpua]

9/13/18 - Tiny Dancer - Elton John

HarpFac: Dave Grohl essentially explains why this is OGR

 

[Harpua]

9/17/18 - Piano Man - Billy Joel

HarpFac: Did you know he is from Long Island.... of course you did. Song is only 5+ min long (not 7), still too long for OGR

 

[Harpua]

9/18/18 - Heroes and Villains - The Beach Boys

HarpFac: Off the overrated Smile Album. I don't understand TK's fascination with this song

 

[Harpua]

HarpFac: ugh.... TK says the most famous bass line... somehow I don't know is that is measurable

 

[Harpua]

9/26/18 - Book of Love - The Monotones

HarpFac: A OGR debut. Nigel's songfact has something to do about toothpaste

 

[Harpua]

9/27/18 - A Hard Rains gonna Fall - Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

HarpFac: In the old show, they would let this song run in all its glory in the background of the entire segment... but that was before the podcast was just a mechanism to advertise for a restaurant and paying for music rights fees didn't hurt the bottom line...

 

[Harpua]

9/28/18 - To Know him is to Love Him - The Teddy Bears

HarpFac: This song has been OGR for the past four Sept 28ths.... way to keep it fresh

 

[Harpua]

10/1/18 - Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

HarpFac: Jimmy Steinman, check - The Will Ferrel Movie (Old School) - check. The Old Man's critical commentary is getting stale

10/2/18 - Every breath you take - The Police

HarpFac: Kinda a stalker song....

 

[Harpua]

10/3/18 - The Twist - Chubby Checker

HarpFac: Critical commentary - Dick Clark's wife gave him his name... I don't think TK knows what critical commentary means. Oh, Marty Balin died, but this must have been in the can

 

[Harpua]

10/4/18 - Whats the Frequency Kenneth - REM

HarpFac: on this date in '86, Dan Rather was hit in the head with a shoe. Tis must be a Nigel pick

 

[Harpua]

10/8/18 - Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

HarpFac: did he mention the marriage? what do you think?
