This month's Special Guest - Cliff Hitchcock !

THIS MONTH'S GUEST:

Cliff Hitchcock

"Emily"

When Cliff Hitchcock does a Ron Ryan song, well, two of my favorite musicians are honored. Here, Cliff puts his trademark 60's style to Ron's latest creation: a song about a wild chick who drives him crazy! (I assume the story line is ficticious...)

"The Boltons" Continued... Two more Covers of DC5 songs:

"Glad All Over"

Each month we do two DC5 songs. This was the one that knocked the Beatles out of #1. Okay, their version's better than ours, but we still loved doing it.

"I Know You"

Always loved the "b" side to Glad-All-Over: Here's another interactive one, with a little twist.

"Back In the Day" - The Boltons LIVE in the 1990's:

"Some Old Familiar Songs"

Each month we put up two of our LIVE performances from "Back In the Day" when we played out. (1996-2003). And here's one of our hits: often a concert-opener. And it charted in New York state!

UNITED WONDER - That great folk-acid band from the 70's!

"The Crack"

From 1977 through 1980, "United Wonder" played their original music for a variety of audiences in western New York. The lineup included Rob Bolton, Lou Lander, Bob Borland, and ocassionally others.

"Stick Together"

UNITED WONDER released four cassette albums. These have since been restored, enhanced, and moved to CD. Each month we'll put up one each of originals by Rob & Lou.

Special Note: QUICKTIME SUCKS! If you're using the "Quicktime" music player to play our songs, we have a suggestion: UNINSTALL QUICKTIME from your computer! Use Windows Media Player instead. Much better tone quality, and you can "minimize it" and move on to other web pages, allowing you to surf and listen to music at the same time. Quicktime doesn't let you do that. Why do you have to uninstall Quicktime? Because their program is so aggressive, it over-rides your other preferences, and in the case of our songs, forces you to use it. There is no incentive to keep QUICKTIME in your computer. Most other web downloads will automatically go to WMP or RealPlayer if your Quicktime player is gone. The Quicktime program is invasive and inferior.
