I remember a voice track on an automated station in the early '80s which said "I ran from a flock of seagulls"!radioman148 said:

I'd run from a flock of seagulls too.

I saw a bird up in the sky
It flew so very high
It looked at me
I looked at it
I never knew a bird could spit

Trivia: "Tobacco Road" was penned (and first recorded) by John D. Loudermilk in 1960. The Nashville Teens, a British pop band, had a hit with it in 1964 with it going number 6 on the UK Singles Chart and number 14 on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100 chart. Jimmy Page played guitar on the studio cut of "Tobacco Road".radioman148 said:

I knew they were a UK group, but didn't know about Jimmy Page.

The Nashville Teens were not a Nashville-based group, but Ronny and the Daytonas (a "surf" group, no less!), ironically enough, were based in Nashville. Every time I hear the line "Take it out to Pomona" in their big hit, "Little G.T.O.," I wonder if they are referring to the "Pomona" out in Dickson County, about 40 miles west of Nashville. That Pomona was probably a very rural community about that time (early '60s), but since that area now sits just right off a major exit from interstate 40, it now has a major seven-lane highway running through it! Times change!

Ronny & The Daytonas had so many different members. Jimmy Buffet once said he played with them.

"Big Noise from Winnetka" was composed and arranged by Bob Haggart, bassist with the Bob Crosby Bob Cats. "Big Noise" was recorded for the first time in 1938 as a feature for bass, drums and whistling, featuring Ray Bauduc on drums. See the original pair at:

When thinking of great jazz drummers, names such as Ruddy Rich, Max Roach, Gene Krupa, Chick Webb and Nick Fatool come to mind. Seems no one remembers Ray Bauduc – a drummer’s drummer from the 30s.
