I’m betting that Townsman Berlyant will know what became of Special Delivery‘s bassist. That synth player showed promise. The Captain was obviously impressed.

Actually I had no idea who he was, but I looked him up and he was Savage Republic’s drummer as well as the leader of a band called Medicine. More recently, he released a solo album last year.
However, what’s just as interesting is that he not only apparently worked with Bruce Johnston and Carl Wilson in the late ’70s, but that they all did background vocals on Pink Floyd’s The Wall (maybe as the kids in “Another Brick in the Wall”).
The Captain was kinda hogging up the space over on his side. Tennille was much more willing to share the wealth. Overall, while it may have inspired it, this team-up has nothing on the epic Donna Summer/Musical Youth collaboration from a few years later.
Was The Captain playing out of his league when he landed Tennille? This would be a fine time for the Townswomen, and Townsmen so inclined, to step forward and finally weigh in on the sensual appeal of Daryl Dragon.
Every time I hear “Muskrat Love,” I think “Man, I would be the coolest, hippest, most contrarian kid on the block if I could make any kind of case for the underrated qualities of this song.”
Can we institute a new requirement here at RTH? I suggest that all youtube posts come with an etymology. I’m giving the benefit of the doubt as I don’t expect Mr. Mod was searching for Muskrat Love when he stumbled across this but I am curious what led to the discovery.
Al, I was searching for some Bearded Beach Boys material, when I got sidetracked by The Captain, in an oversized captain’s hat, playing keyboards on a Bearded Beach Boys performance. I quickly shifted gears and came across this gem.

Toothy chicks dig a man in uniform?
Even if it’s a yachtsman.

Also, when were Crest White Stripes invented?
