[Editor’s Note: This is the latest edition of Tick’s Notes and Tunes. It is a transcript of a fictional radio broadcast with direct links to the tunes being played. The transcript is in 3 parts.
(1.)The first is the first half of a transcript of the radio broadcast with tune links; (2.) The Editorial [however there is no editorial in this edition); and (3.) The second half of the radio broadcast with tune links.
The purpose of this blog is to discuss, enlighten and educate the reader about relevant political, economic and business matters and to help maintain both a record and an appreciation for good old man-made music before AI makes man and real music a mere afterthought. ]
Good evenin’ folks
Suzi here
Fillin’ in for Stony
Who’s sick tonight
I’m gonna do the best I can
But I’m no DJ
No Stony for sure
Unlike Stony
I don’t have a research department
…which is usually yours truly…
And I’ve been scramblin’ around
Trying to put together tonights show
But it’s no use
So…please for give us here at DJ Ltd
And me in particular
Because I’m going straight on memory
For some of this stuff
So everything I say…is subject to
…frankly….being nothin’ but bull dukey
Okay
First we have one of my personal favs
A guy who I think go his start
Doin’ James Brown impersonatioins
…musically speaking
Unfortunately he died a couple of years ago
But I love this tune
And I hope you will too..
So…please enjoy
Charles Bradley Ain’t it a Sin

Next, up
Is an artist that Stony remembers from his youth
Stony always talks about some ancient
Radio show in Richmond
Who had a DJ named Alden
Who apparently loved this next artist.
She’s obviously from a bygone era
…late 40s and 50s mostly
…maybe leaking into the 60s
But I have to confess
She’s mighty talented
I’ll just stop yaking and let
All of you folks enjoy
Peggy Lee with Alright Okay You Win
https://youtu.be/1x2JM4cTRwM?si=8wmsEwPb0JxM05Me
Yeah, Ms. Lee just oozes class.
Great voice singing a great tune
Alright, here’s one of those
60s acts who got a lot of airplay
…and TV play for that matter
Back in the 60s
Here are The Turtles with their mega hit
Happy Together
I know everyone’s going to be crestfallin’
but Rufus is off tonight
So no editorial
Yeah, ole Buck is just a sobbin’ away over there in the control booth
He just have to have that editorial fix
But be that as it may
I did have a chance this afternoon
Whilst rushin’ around
To grab 3 45s…meaning records
Lookin’ at my trusty laptop here
About this first one
Wikipedia says that this next group is from
Lake Charles Louisiana
And recorded this next tune sometime in
…you guessed it
the mid 60s
Here’s
Bad Roads with Blue Girl
https://youtu.be/Wj0WAGKJVgw?si=WmrybOEklrceCUvQ
Yes folks the action is fast and furious here
I’ve been racing trying to learn about our next group
….and right now my research is giving me mixed results
So, I’ll confess ignorance and
Just say that I think that this next group
Is part of the Delaware garage rock scene
…again from the 60s
Here’s
State of Mind with Move
https://youtu.be/EPNUQ84_I6I?si=78cJrsBumPCzOXAu
Okay
ya gotta admit
that was a cool tune that
one doesn’t hear often
Well, as Stony would say
The Big hand
And the little one
…not to mention ole Bucko
Over in the control booth
Are tellin’ little Suzi here
To wrap this baby up
So let’s say goodnight
With a tune that
According to the Oracle of Wiki
reached number 5
On the Billboard charts back in 1966
This group even got on Dick Clark’s show
And the Smother’s Brothers.
and by the way
I happen to personally know that
Stony loves the guitar run on this baby
But in any event here are…
The Blue Magoos with their hit
We Ain’t Got Nothin’ Yet
https://youtu.be/6jNXRr2aINw?si=KoYZyCMzjJTX4VSJ
Well,
As Stony would say
that’s it
That’s all
There ain’t no more
Buck is frantically signallin’ me to wrap this up
So for Buck, Rufus
…and Guru..whereever he is.
Thanks so much.
I’m Suzi
The Assistant Producer of Everything
here at DJ Ltd
And I guess
now I’m also the part-time substitute DJ sayin’
Good night
And
Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
