Huh. I not only saw the Point, I'm pretty sure they showed it in school at least once.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I discovered The Point when I discovered Harry Nilsson. A great songwriter, great singer and world class carouser.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Huge Harry Nilsson fan here.

I've never heard of The Point before today, but I'm not much of a Nilsson fan, either.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am indulging in launch.com today to pull me through the workday. I am easily amused at the juxtaposition of songs on my station, but I am hard pressed to decide which is better - Kelly Willis leading into PM Dawn's "Die without you" or Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley PTA" following it.

I think my friend George played on this. AMG doesn't have the players listed. I just asked him & he said he doesn't remember the names of the tunes, but given the recording date he's pretty sure it's him.
I had never heard of The Point before I gave my niece a copy a couple years ago, and I am a Nilsson fan. I was definitely watching a lot of tv in 1971, but it's a year or two away from when I can remember stuff now. I don't remember it being on a lot like the various Charlie Brown specials or Rikki Tikki Tavi.

Go for the transition to "Harper Valley PTA," msbelle!

What does he play? Telegraph is one of my favorite lost albums.

What does he play?
Low frequency instruments (upright & electric bass, tuba). He was EDO's first real bassist (the first recordings were done with the two guitar players taking turns.) He's also the Raymond Scott Orchestrette's bassist, and played a key role in getting the NYC Buffistas together inasmuch as he was the Kustard Kings' bassist - the Losers' Lounge house band - for a few years, and our initial F2F was at the Losers' Lounge. If you make the trip this summer, Hayden, you'll meet him.

I got the trip on the mind. In fact, I've been looking at tickets, but I'm worried about affording a place to stay.

hayden, is there any chance I could get a copy of the second mix? I know you're pretty busy with the new person, and won't be offended if you can't do it. It just sounds *exactly* like the kind of thing that would broaden my horizons in a non-spinachy way.
