Vanilla String Orchestra does a lot of rock covers similar to the London Symphony
Tom is a stitch
The Prisonaires great group Just Walkin Ine Rain- beautiful
Shout out to you guys thanks for the mention
I was an artist in residence at The California Medical Facility in Vacaville in 1990-91- under the leadership of Arts in Correction facilitator Jeff Hesemeyer (Winters resident) who brought me in to teach harmonies to the inmates, put on concerts through out the facility- housing more than 3000 inmates.
The Marigolds- got ripped off by the Bihari Brothers group The Cadets (Jacks) who covered their Rollin Stone and outsold the Marigolds version. The Cadets covered everyone- all the more reason to question the business model of records and distribution and sales mechanisms-
The Cadets did Stranded on The Jungle copying the Jayhawks recording and again outsold the original
As the Jacks-their other name they covered a tune originally recorded by The Feathers entitled Why Don't You Write Me , and once again, they had the hit with it.
Bring me on to talk with Tom-and play some vintage moooosic.
