Strawberry Alarm Clock. One of the bands of the psychedelic movement in America. An LA band, right? But not part of the Laurel Canyon cabal. I believe the psychedelic stuff was much more progressive in England ... Cream, The Yardbirds, The Move, Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett.
I have a great personal story to tell you about the San Diego music scene in the 60s ... involving Gary Puckett and the Union Gap and Iron Butterfly. Remind me to tell it sometime.
Also, I enjoyed the video of Mississippi John Hurt. Jeez, his picking and changes are so effortless. What a wonderful surprise for a Friday morning. A young YouTuber -- English musician Phil (Wings of Pegasus) -- does a complete analysis of Hurt's track here:

Thanks, Michael, for the Tune Tag shout-out! For your readers, here's a direct route to that particular Tune Tag (with Strawberry Alarm Clock and others!) with Andres! https://bradkyle.substack.com/p/tune-tag-26-with-andres-of-the-vinyl
Great snap of the mighty Mika! That straight-on pose really shows off her amazing face....I've made it my new phone wallpaper!
That “someone” was me. I know I’m nowhere near Brad, the King of Tune Tag himself, but am I that forgettable? 😅
I loved the sample of "Long Road Back" and am eager to hear more. Congratulations!
