We’re just putting another shortwave mix together and picked this tune from Tommy McCook & The Supersonics called Second Fiddle. It starts off with a “Popeye the sailor man” type motif then into a very interesting rock steady number.
Then we found out by accident that The Incredible String Band did a cover of it. Well we never knew that! There’s a lot we don’t know we reckon, music is one big can of beans.
Fantastic!!! Just picked up another used ISB vinyl for 6 bucks that I didnt have. Always love’em.
I know and I had no idea about the cover version!
Great, but not the Incredible String Band that I remember! (“…but me, I remember her long red hair, falling in our faces as I kissed her… etc”.
And it’s such an obscure record to cover as well Debby!

Sublime.
Brilliant! I am glad you like that tune. It’s goes from Popeye the sailor man to somewhere else in a few minutes.
