I'm sure you've noted that the last two weeks have been a little light @ The Hut.  In keeping with this approach a while longer, I'd like to share this live performance, which is as good if not better than the original (and that is saying something), of an early rock classic by San Francisco's We Five:





There is something about this tune that has always reminded me of "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers, so, hey why not:




If you can ever point to a handful of cuts that bridged the folk revival of the late 50s to the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the 60s, this certainly is one.

By the way, I just love these YouTube folks who show a 45 playing for the duration of the song.  One thing that can be said, the sound of this one is certainly HQ.

Finally, since there won't be a Sunday Service this week, I can't resist slipping in another song, one I happen to be listening to right now:










As to why things have been a tad on the lightweight side, I hope to be addressing that in full in the coming week or two, so stay tuned.

This week's dip into the archive is from March 2009, Lilliput Review, #168, and finds us at that most magic of moments, when all the best poems are written, all the great thoughts conjured, all the greatest loves declared, and all the passing on of things noted: twilight.  Enjoy.
