I Do, The Marvelows (1965) Formed in Chicago in the 1950s  as Little Satan & The Demons, later as The Mystics, the group landed a recording deal with ABC-Paramount in 1964 and became The Marvelows.

Freddie’s Boogie, Freddie Mitchell And His Orchestra (1953) Saxophonist Freddie Mitchell was among other things “a session musician and bandleader for multi-artist rock shows held by Alan Freed. Mitchell had previously recorded Moondog Boogie named in honor of the disc jockey and the two of them appeared together in the 1956 film Rock, Rock, Rock.”

Lotsa stuff to do: stuff that I need to do, stuff that I probably oughta do, and stuff that’s a total waste of time.  Seems I’m doing a lot of the third type of stuff these days, but at least it’s fun. Have a Superbowl weekend, and we’ll be back tomorrow. For stuff.

Don’t forget to.
