♫ Hard To Say I'm Sorry ♫ (Redux)

I haven’t played this one in over three years, and tonight I was digging through my archives, looking for … I didn’t really know what, just something to make me smile.  And BINGO … this one made me smile, so I hope it will do the same for you! I’m hungry … and therefore, it is inevitable that I would play something by Chicago tonight, right? This song marked a resurgence for Chicago, who had…

These albums in the vein of Supernatural work. I mean, they get their jobs done, though the musicians who make them should be wary of them. Ask Chicago about what happens afterwards. Yes, they went through their Supernatural phase from Chicago 16 to the end of the 80's. Still, we shouldn't hold the platters from the period against them, they merely wished to be relevant again. Thus, their success with Chicago 16 caused them to rethink their sonic approach and they began to chase the success. However, I am not sure what else they could've done then, they were a group for the 60's and the 70's, the 80's had no use for them, unless they went crazily current. Of course, their peers had the same dilemmas, i.e. they gained their biggest sales with the discs few admire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Fairuza Balk, David Bowie’s 1983 “Let’s Dance” single, Raymond Burr, Martin Carthy, Bill Champlin, Vincent Crane, John Dalton (The Kinks), Albrecht Dürer, ELO’s 1977 “Telephone Line” UK single, Noel Fielding, Sonny Forriest (Ray Charles, The Coasters), Marvin Gaye’s 1971 WHAT’S GOING ON album, Gotye, Richard Hatch, Ronald Isley, Sam Jaffe, The Kingsmen’s 1966 “Louie Louie” single, Stan Lynch, Mrs. Miller’s 1966 “Downtown” single, Robert Montgomery, Rebecca Moore, Richard Morrison, Alexander Pope, Judge Reinhold, Marc Ribot, Todd Rundgren’s 1983 “Bang on the Drum” single, Fayçal Salhi, Leo Sayer, Mr. T, Hilton Valentine, Fats Waller, Shot Williams, Stevie Wonder’s 1977 “Sir Duke” single, and the lively entertainer/singer-songwriter Tony Sheridan. He’s mostly remembered as a footnote in the legacy of The Beatles, but he had his own showbiz trajectory. As a wild, energetic front man and guitarist, his star rose in the late 1950s. Due to a glitch he missed nabbing a spot in The Shadows. Then he went to Germany where, for a few years, there was more interest in him than in his “pick up band” i.e. The Beatles—who called Sheridan “The Teacher” despite (or because of) his crazy ways and occasional fisticuffs. After Beatlemania, Sheridan kept on as a successful German-based pop star, segueing into blues and jazz and involving himself in bizarre side hustles, anti-Communist platforms, and for a time he ran with Bagwhan Sri Rajneesh. Sheridan was secretive about his personal life, but he was wide open on the public stage.

The Tony Sheridan & The Beatles cover of “My Bonnie” prompted me to impulsively record it in a grunge-y San Francisco warehouse loft: Fast, dirty, and just for fun. On a cosmic jukebox, this track would play next to “Hang On to Yourself” (David Bowie), “I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock’n’Roll” (Dave Edmunds), “Jailhouse Rock” (Elvis Presley), and “God Save the Queen” (Sex Pistols). Meanwhile, HB TS and thank you for your instructive energy! https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/my-bonnie-remastered-2021-2
