Secret Agent Man- incidental music

    WHO: Pat & Bob
    WHEN: the late 80's

LISTEN
In the days of BetaMax and top-loading VHS machines, it was rare to have anything worthwhile on video tape. One such snippet was an episode of Secret Agent Man with the incidental music used behind the opening credits in the hour-long series.
The boys listened to that tape over and over, until the hiss became part of them. Then they turned on the sound modules and drum machine an out came this nice little arrangement.
I Don't Want to Spoil the Party (Lennon/McCartney)

WHO: Bob, Hal, Pat
WHEN: May '98
LISTEN
The One & Only ChickenSlayer Demonstrating a longstanding affection for the music of John & Paul, these three cousins dove into this classic with characteristic gusto.

Take special note of the instruments standing in for the Harrison guitar solo in the middle 16... We like to think J & P would have considered it an improvement.

Pop'n'Blue (R. Maley)
WHO: Bob
WHEN: the early 90's
LISTEN
A light-hearted experimental piece Bob multitracked with several different guitar and keyboard sounds.
The middle changes mood entirely, but without jarring the listener.
Then it's back to the Pop portion of our program.

WHEN: May '98
LISTEN
A 3-chord masterpiece from the author of Talk Show Queen.
No, really- 3 chords. Count 'em.
Griffin seems pleased with the outcome of this one-take wonder by his comments at the end.
