This is the first in an irregular series of posts where I’m going to reflect on some music from my formative years…all via the wonder of YouTube (where I firmly believe you can find ANYTHING). First up – Dat by Pluto Shervington.
I vividly remember this tune spinning at my parents parties when I was a boy, and years later I used to drop it as a DJ – its a purely feelgood tune with a great big skankin’ melody.

No more words for this one…I hope he gets humiliated at the polls in return.

After seeing Glen Campbell on Later with Jools Holland last night, I was reminded of how much I love this song, possibly the first existential country song – and truly a classic:
I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the main road.
Lookin’ in the sun for another overload.I hear you singing in the wire.
I can hear you thru the whine.
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line.I know I need a small vacation.
But it don’t look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south, won’t ever stand the strain.And I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line.
