Comment:

here's a bit of trivia: my father was a square-dance caller for the Wagon Wheelers Square-Dance Club in Yakima, Washington from the mid-'70s to the end of the '80s (the red Subaru I drove to high school even had personalized license plates that read CALLER, which made me very popular). anyway, this past summer, my dad dug up the one and only demo single he'd recorded as a "caller" in the '80s and presented me with a copy. and now I present it to you. yup, that's my pop singing there on side two along with Ben and the Boys. I think it's safe to say that this is his AotM debut. listen to side
one.
listen to side
two.

Glad it wasn't just me then. I spent literally minutes last night trying to download part 1 with no luck. After refreshing the page countless times I suddenly struck gold and got the link. It then took 2 hours to download. Patience is a virtue, though, and this was worth the wait. I got hold of the 'Dennis Williams with Ben and the Boys' 12" on white label a couple of years ago btw...

This looks great. I'm definitely going to be downloading this one. I even like your "guilty pleasures" (my phrase for them, not yours) tracks on this one. ;-)

The Vogues, Air Supply, Shirley Bassey, even Saint-Sadns - this is wild, and that is not to mention Dennis Williams with Ben and the Boys.
(PS Saw you note, tell your co-workers to go back to their Justin Timberlake and stop complaining.)

Oh, rubbish. Not your mix, obviously - looks like a stonker - but the fact I missed it (was slowly wobbling my way down a mountain on a snowboard when you posted this). Damn those file-sharers and their accursed time limits. Well, looks ace, and if you were to *ahem* re-post this, perchance, there'd be one happy listener here. And how cool is your dad?
