Fergus and I made new friends at the great Thomaston Dog Park.
His is Buddy - a 3 y.o. German Shepherd. Mine is Larry Goldsmith - Buddy's dad. Who tonight December 17 is in Red Bank at the reunion of Looking Glass - a band for which he was the road manager. It's the fiftieth birthday of their now classic hit:
Brandy - you're a fine girl. You know it - it's THAT song. The barmaid and girlfriend of dreams (kinda like Sugar Magnolia) "Brandy - you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be...
Elliot Lurie, lyricist, and bandmates Larry Gonsky and Jeffrey Grob are performing tonight at the Count Basie Theatre in the Monmouth County town near where that other guy played at the Stone Pony. Larry is there, of course. And they'll remember "the band’s other songwriter and guitarist Pieter Sweval, who sadly died of AIDS in 1990."
Since, like me, you couldn't be there it would not be anachronistic to do as I did, roll a bone, put on my new Baux BLX earbuds, crank up the volume and listen to Brandy, you're a fine girl.
