The Coachmen's Turntable 10/23/2017

Howdy!

Another fine fall day.  We have been fortunate lately.  Temps have been in the 60's and 70's for several weeks now.  Look out!  This won't last!  We're living in the Great White North for heaven's sake!  We don't have to look too far back to find snow knee deep and temps in the 20's this time of year.  

Fortunately there are activities that fit in nicely with the cold weather.  Skiing, sledding, snowboarding, snowblowing . . . ooops, there I went and spoiled it!  Oh well, we're all hearty northerners and know how to stay in the house, sit by the fire with a good book and a hot toddy.  Right??   Ouch!  just found out that we might be shoveling in a week???

The Turntable features Bobby Darin and Buddy Holly this week.  Anyone been to Branson Missouri?  Mickey Gilley has a Saloon there where he shows up time to time to sing some of the oldies he's known for.  Don't remember him?  You will today on The flipSide!  On Sucks News JL regales us with his, as always, Brilliant Substantive material.  Check it out!
                               Till Next week / Stay safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!

"Dream Lover" is a song written by Bobby Darin and recorded by him on April 6, 1959. Darin decided to stretch out some chord changes he found on the piano and add strings and voices.[1] It was released as a single on Atco Records in the U.S. in 1959. It became a multi-million seller, reaching No.2 on the U.S. charts for a week and No.4 on the R&B charts.[2] ​

"Oh, Boy!" is a song written by Sonny West, Bill Tilghman and Norman Petty. It was originally recorded by Sonny West in the late 1950s but did not achieve commercial success.

The song is in AABA form.[5] The song sold one million copies in its first 10 days of release in the United States and sold over five million copies, making it both one of the best-selling singles in the United States, as well as one of the world's best-selling singles of all time.
