I've written about snippets of this before, but..........., I'm going to try to tie it together here.

Once upon a time in Wash. DC there was a band named Fat City. They were the top band, well except for Grin (more about that later). Fat City was Bill and Taffy (Nivert) Danoff. Bill was a gifted song craftsman and Taffy had the voice.

Along about the late 60's early 70's a young fellow named John Denver (Henry John Deutschendorf Jr) came to town. The three hit it off musically and personally. Bill wrote a song, John sang it.

Fat City and John Denver.

Yeah, John got top billing, but he had the 'hit.'

Bill and Taffy's son, Owen, was on 'The Voice' last year. Didn't win, too much like his parents and time has passed that music by.

Owen

Bill, Taffy, and John went their separate ways but always stayed together.

Bill and Taffy formed a group called "Starland Vocal Band' and had a hit called;

Afternoon Delight

They all went through changes. Bill and Taffy split, John moved west. All of their careers were on the down slope. But sometimes going back to where you started pays off. So Bill and Taffy wrote this for John.

He'd Rather be in Colorado.

I had a guy on my crew from Boston and he knows Norman Greenbaum who never had a follow-up hit but still lives off the royalties.


That song has probably been is a tenth of all the movies ever made.

There ya go. Write a hit Xmas song and your great-grandchildren will never have to work. (And I'm not sure that's a good thing).

Terry Bradshaw comes to mind. :D


Of course, you mean it in a different way then I'm reading it. I hate Christmas music unless it is in Latin or German.

Them ultralights are dangerous little fuckers.

Royalties, good.
 
The Croats all lived down on Strawberry Hill, so I never learned to croak Croat...



:D ;) ;)


I guess I would have found my thrill.

Croats are croakers. Living in cramped quarters suppresses enthusiastic expressions.

I avoided the BAMs, because, well, they almost all were...



I had one as a watch leader for about 15 minutes before they gave me a watch of my own.

Was that collateral so you'd make sure she'd "call you in the morning?" *snicker*
