A drumming machine...

Love most of the Hall and Oates Singles, (Private Eyes being numero uno), but never delved too much into their lps...I am sure I am missing a lot of good stuff...They remind me a bit of the Grass Roots or Three Dog Night, not in a stylistic sense, but all three of them were singles machines whose lps did not garner much traction with consumers...Hall and Oates, 10 to 15 years from now, will be the headliners on those packaged oldies tour, similar to Peter Noone, on the 60’s Circuit and the Grass Roots on the 70’s shows... P.S...Eric would fit in on those packaged tours perfectly...

Todd and Daryl, at times, can be stylistically similar...Would love to see a collaborative Album from them...Great clip...

Firstly...the name had to go...Has nothing but “fruity” or “sweet” connotations...If you are gonna be 70’s “contemporary“, you needed some kind of name that had masculine connotations or if you were dedicated to being a derivative band, your moniker could have reflected that...“Perjury”, “the Factory”, “Astigmatism“, “Camera“, or something that shows what you see is not what you get... Second, the cover of the first album sucks, from the blurry photo to the scratch and sniff...the whole thing junky...Maybe, a picture of the band performing “live” would have been a better cover or the concept of the fourth album photo should have been utililized for the debut... Thirdly, the songs, while Go All The Way is great, the biggest criticism you get from all your friends was after the bombastic intro, the verse rolls back waaaaaaaay too much into poppy territory...It needs to get toughened up... Fourth, the choice of songs for the first lp need to be analyzed and many need to be sliced off the album...Waiting, and I Saw The Light sounds like a girl singing...Way too feminine for that era...With You In My Life is Not pastiche enough, while I Can Remember(a superb piece of music) needed to have a more variant instrumentation Lineup...The drums, bass, piano(violin) format needed to be more, instrumentally vibrant and dynamic...Brass, possibly...This song is comparable to any long form piece, such as Bohemian Rhapsody or even Funeral For A Friend, but in all its varietal segments, still is rather banal...An edited “radio friendly” version should have been the second single release...Also, they should have included a “cover” song...Something familiar for their first album grabs the attention of the listener... Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye was the wrong choice for the first single...Go All The Way was the ideal choice followed by an abbreviated I Can Remember...Once Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye was stillborn, it made it impossible to pull a third single from this record... Next, Craig; you were absolutely right, none of the stupid interviews, “Foxiest “ contest and, above all, keep them out of the “Sweet Sixteen”, Tiger Beat and Hit Parader Magazines of the day...No self respecting fans, except us, was gonna get into a band that our little sisters were swooning over... That’s it for now...I have many more “revisionist” history moments yet to come, but I would love to hear of any changes or fine tuning of my “managerial” maneuvers...

We all agree that Raspberries should have been bigger than they were/are...So, if you were their manager from Day1, what would you have done differently?... Anything is fair game... What changes would you have made in their career choices...? I ‘ll post my ideas after you guys have had a chance to post some of your ideas..

Wow...that’s a rare one to hear..

Great to see new member Doreen here...

Got a new name...?

To date, the song (S.O.S) is the only Hot 100 single (or #1 single in Australia[20]) in which both the title and the credited act (and also the musical genre) are palindromes.[21]

Don’t forget...a song like Snowbird fits many different formats...Any station that plays, pop, country, , “lite” music or folk would play Snowbird, but only a couple of those stations would have Pina Colada on their Playlist...Afternoon Delight would have a better chance to crack some of those formats...

This is a pretty accurate list according to ASCAP who tracks these things and pays out royalties...I believe these are based on most plays in the history of American radio...

if you click on each one of these subheadings, you’ll see a ton of statistics about EC.com...I don’t have a freakin’ clue what most of it means... https://web.archive.org/details/http://ericcarmen.com/

Hurricane...ugh!!!

Gilbert O ‘Sullivan will be performing at City Winery NYC on July 9, 2019...It will be his only U.S. appearance and hasn’t performed in America in at least 35 years, I think...

Peter Wade , excellent cook, son of two chefs Updated Sun Which national chain has the best hamburger? I’m assuming you mean national chains of the United States? Indeed, America is a country known for many fabulous foods, not the least of which is the almighty hamburger. Of course, we all know that the best hamburgers are found at individually owned, mom-and-pop burger joints, not chains. In fact, I did a tour of the top 20 highest-rated burgers in the U.S.! And I was raised by two chefs. So I admit that I’m spoiled when it comes to food! With such lofty standards, can I admit that there is ANY national chain with a burger so worthy it even remotely competes with the best non-franchised burger spots in America? Which national chains are in contention? It’s ludicrous to only consider the three franchises that cover all 50 states (Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s). For instance, Chick-Fil-A is ranked the most popular fast food chain in America and has locations in 49 states. Just because they have no presence in Vermont, does that strip them of “national” chain status? Nope! To define a national chain, we’ll require two simple rules: The franchise must operate stores in at least three of the four time zones of the 48 contiguous states to be considered “national” The franchise must be recognized by Restaurant Business Online as a “burger chain” These rules allow for the consideration of chains that occupy fewer than half of the 50 states. For example, Whataburger is spread from coast to coast, ranks among the top six most profitable burger chains, and is widely recognizable by Americans. It shouldn’t be overlooked even though they only occupy 10 states. It is hardly a regional chain. It’s a national chain. By the above definition, we can identify 24 nationwide chains officially listed as burger franchises and covering at least three American time zones. Who’s out? Krystal has the 18th highest annual revenue among designated burger chains, but it’s only confined to the Southeast. So they’re out. Big Boy was once a big deal across America, but they’ve dwindled down to only eight locations outside of Michigan. A place like Ruth’s Chris Steak House serves a great hamburger and certainly qualifies as a national “restaurant” chain. But this is hardly a burger joint. It violates the spirit of the question and is understandably not included as a “burger” franchise on Restaurant Business Online. Best to worst Here is our average family rating of the 24 national burger chains in America on a scale from 1 to 10. I’ve included the number of states they occupy and their national rank in annual revenue among American burger chains. Sadly, only four national chains were above mediocre. Read below to see why our family is qualified to produce these rankings, but we understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Pretty good for a chain restaurant: 1.) Shake Shack - 9.1 (30 states, #14 in sales) 2.) BurgerFi - 8.2 (21 states, #28 in sales) 3.) The Habit Burger Grill - 7.9 (12 states, #18 in sales) 4.) Fuddruckers - 6.5 (24 states, #25 in sales) Mediocre and not worth a return visit: 5.) In-N-Out Burger - 5.4 (6 states, #12 in sales) 6.) Five Guys - 5.2 (49 states, #9 in sales) 7.) Red Robin - 5.1 (44 states, #11 in sales) 8.) Hardee’s - 5.0 (30 states, #7 in sales) 9.) A&W - 4.9 (42 states, #24 in sales) 10.) Freddy’s - 4.8 (32 states, #16 in sales) 11.) Smashburger - 4.7 (34 states, #23 in sales) 12.) Jack in the Box - 4.4 (21 states, #5 in sales) 13.) Culver’s - 4.2 (25 states, #8 in sales) 14.) Carl’s Jr. - 4.1 (14 states, #10 in sales) Nearly inedible: 15.) Whataburger - 3.6 (10 states, #6 in sales) 16.) Steak ‘n Shake - 3.4 (29 states, #13 in sales) 17.) Wendy’s - 3.3 (50 states, #3 in sales) 18.) Checkers Drive-In - 2.5 (25 states, #17 in sales) 19.) Rally’s - 2.4 (16 states, #22 in sales) 20.) Burger King - 2.3 (50 states, #2 in sales) Absolutely deplorable: 21.) Sonic - 1.9 (46 states, #4 in sales) 22.) Johnny Rockets - 1.3 (30 states, #20 in sales) 23.) McDonald’s - 1.1 (50 states, #1 in sales) 24.) White Castle - 1.0 (13 states, #15 in sales) It’s too bad Farm Burger (picture above) is only located in four Southeastern states. That’s as close as a multi-state burger chain can get to a perfect 10! It’s also too bad that Hugh-Baby’s locations only exist in Tennessee. Now that’s an amazing burger! Why are we qualified to answer this question? First, we don’t consider our answer the only answer to the question. It’s just one possible interpretation. We understand that people have different preferences, even when professional chefs scratch their heads over weird culinary choices. Heck, some people eat well done steak! We’ll never all agree on one answer here. Eat where you want to eat. We simply wanted to offer the opinion of professionals in the restaurant industry. Eleven members of my family have now voted on this. Four of them are professionally trained chefs, and the other seven are very good gourmet cooks with restaurant experience. We deeply understand food. We’ve owned restaurants. We’ve cooked for decades. All 10 voting members of the family can produce a perfect 10 burger at home. Funny note: My wife abstained from voting because she doesn’t care about food. Another Note: Growing up in a family of trained chefs and restaurateurs, you get spoiled on really good food. But we’ll never understand why people rave about the substandard beef at Five Guys and In-N-Out. Widely traveled family: If you haven’t been to all of the 24 chains above, can you truly claim which is America’s best burger franchise? No, but you can still name your favorite. Fortunately, everyone in our travel-obsessed family has visited all 50 states. Along the way, we’ve all eaten at each of these 24 restaurants, so we are able to provide a rating for every national burger chain in America. Unfortunately, that adds up to a lot of poor quality junk food on road trips. Honestly, we truly prefer not to eat fast food at all, and avoid it at all costs. Disclaimer: Don’t tell me that Five Guys or In-N-Out is the best thing ever, and then admit you haven’t eaten at any of the chains that are ranked higher. That’s just as ignorant as saying Florida is the greatest state, oh, but I’ve only been to two states. Yes, I’ve seen that on Quora. Trying to convince us that either of those burgers is of good quality is fruitless. My family members are trained professionals and can easily spot mediocre quality. All you’re doing is broadcasting that you’ve never had a real burger and you’re adding nothing to the discussion.

Who was the photographer that shot the “butcher” cover...?

Another father/daughter duet that gives the Sinatra’s a run for their money...

Absolutely, the same chord sequence...

WWHILE 22nd June, 2020 by admin The travel-retail exclusive Dewar’s Double Double comprises three whiskies aged for 21, 27 and 32 years “Some people think only single malts have flavour and complexity, but I believe with the [Dewar’s] Double Double range we’ve shown that blends can be just as interesting and complex as a single malt,” Stephanie Macleod, master blender at John Dewar & Sons told The Spirits Business this year. Consumers have voted with their money when it comes to Dewar’s blended Scotch whisky, pushing volumes up by 6.4% to reach 3 million nine‐litre cases in 2019. Consistent innovation and clever marketing have taken the brand past its 2013 volumes again, and secured Dewar’s the title of Scotch Whisky Brand Champion 2020. Adam Oakley, global vice president of Bacardi‐owned Dewar’s, says: “Dewar’s was built on innovation, including our unique ‘double‐aged’‐ for‐extra‐smoothness‐process, pioneered in 1881. “Over the past 12 months we’ve continue to marry an experimental outlook with our unique smooth mouthfeel to launch three innovations for Dewar’s.” The first of the trio was brought out in March 2019 exclusively for the global travel retail market: Dewar’s Double Double, comprising three whiskies aged for 21, 27 and 32 years that have each undergone a four‐stage maturation process. The series was supported by a four‐part short film, created in partnership with actor Tuppence Middleton, best known for her roles in The Imitation Game and Black Mirror. Dewar’s followed this with its Cask Finish Series, which started with the launch of Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask, created by finishing eight‐year‐old Dewar’s in ex‐rum casks. The Cask Finish Series was extended further this year with the launch of eight‐year‐old, mezcal‐cask‐finished Dewar’s Ilegal Mezcal. “Dewar’s innovation and positioning as a smooth, accessible, quality whisky has helped accelerate recruitment of new drinkers,” adds Oakley. “In the US, for example, [legal drinking age]‐34‐year‐old drinkers of Dewar’s White Label have increased threefold over the past four years. For new drinkers, reinforcing quality credentials is just as important as establishing a clear, emotional brand point of view. Double‐aging is by no means the easiest way to make a blended Scotch, but we believe in quality.” Dewar’s did well to increase volumes as it did in 2019. The overall Scotch whisky category faced its fair share of challenges last year, triggered by trade wars with the US. Total Scotch whisky exports by volume grew by 2.4% to 1.31 billion 700ml bottles in 2019, according to HMRC figures released by the Scotch Whisky Association. However, export volumes to the US dropped by 7% to 127m 700ml bottles last year because of the introduction of a 25% tariff on single malt Scotch. However, the million‐case‐selling single malt Scotch brands – The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich – delivered a solid performance in 2019. William Grant & Sons‐owned Glenfiddich continues to be the world’s leading single malt Scotch, growing sales by 9.4% in 2019 to reach 1.5m cases. And Pernod Ricard’s The Glenlivet experienced a 6.8% volume increase last year to reach 1.3m cases. *The Brand Champions data is listed to one decimal place for ease of reading, but the percentage changes are based on the full data supplied. All brand data is supplied in millions of nine-­litre cases. While Dewars was voted Brand Champion of the year, it ranks only 6th largest selling Scotch in the world...
