Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

So I looked up other songs from this group while I drank my first cup of tea. And I found this one.

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show ~ "Sylvia's Mother"​

 
This song isn't particularly main stream (which is what was intended when I created this thread). But since my cats knocked over my modern Hammond keyboard today... I am reminded of the Hammond organ master, Jimmy Smith. If you haven't heard him (or of him), here is a taste. @Hornymwtxn ... you might dig this too.

Jimmy Smith - The Cat
 
This song popped into my head... I always loved the drums in this... maybe I was thinking about @Qky75 ?

The Beach Boys - Our Car Club
 
Good evening all.

Today I read of the death of Toronto keyboardist Kevan Staples. I don't know if his band, Rough Trade ever had a hit in the States, but this song was huge up here. Carol Pope on vocals, "Highschool Confidential".


Edited to add: Nineteen Eighty fucking One? Are you kidding me? It seems to me like it was just last summer I was driving my old Duster down Yonge Street at 3am blasting this out the open windows. RIP Kevan.
