Wow, so much to dig and dig into in this, Michael! "Hey, Mika!" Terry Cashman was a minor league ballplayer in the Tigers org, late '50s/early-'60s, plus he co-wrote a fave song, the Top Ten "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" by Spanky and Our Gang in '67. I liked the Fallon track...never heard of him before.
Loved the Jackson Browne "These Days" inclusion on the Playlist, as well as my fave Gin Blossoms song, "Found Out About You"! I did about 3 of their songs at karaoke, including "Hey Jealousy," and "Til I Hear it From You." Fun stuff, Michael!
Thanks Brad!!! “Sunday Will Never Be The Same” was always a favorite of mine as was the American City Suite - forgot all about it until something was on a playlist and reminded me of it. Brian Fallon was the lead singer/frontman for Gaslight Anthem - one of my youngest son’s fav’s - he had gone to one of their shows - he and his friend were skateboarding around the venue the afternoon before the show that night, ran into one of the members near the tour bus who invited him in, and they met Mr. Fallon and the rest of the band, who were very cool talking with them. Unforgettable for my son! After Gaslight Anthem went on hiatus, Mr. Fallon began his solo career - caught him in concert a few years ago - great show! He had a tough life growing up in NJ - a great story of overcoming adversity to be a successful artist and family man now.
