In Dan's Garage...#31 (Instrumental Edition)

Greetings friends and followers!!! How've you been for the last week or so??? I got caught up in a lot of family stuff last weekend, and was totally unable to complete the weekly post. Fortunately, there was a lot of good food and drink to keep me happy, so it wasn't a total loss. I went to a local record show here in Rochester yesterday, and came home with some cool stuff. We have this old factory that's been converted to a "mall"of sorts called "The Village Gate". It's full of real eclectic type shops and restaurants, and a groovy record store called "The Bop Shop". The Bop Shop is run by a guy named Tom Kohn who is probably the most preeminent collector of records in the city of Rochester, NY. I've been shopping there for years and a lot of what you see in this blog was acquired in his establishment. Well this year he commandeered an old restaurant that went belly up, and filled the place with records at $1 apiece!!!! I managed to score some nice stuff which I will feature in a future blog. As I promised earlier, I'm posting an "Instrumental Edition" of "In Dan's Garage" today. I'm going to dispense with comments on this one because a) I don't have a handle on all the info for these 45's and b) I just don't have the time today. What I will tell you though, is that these run the gamut from the late 50's to the late 60's, and it's fascinating to hear how in a ten year span ,you can see how Rock & Roll developed from the rather primitive sounds of The Rockin' R's to the psychedelic studio "wizardry" of The Music Explosion. Apologies for the condition of some of these, they are rather "crispy" to say the least. So sit back and enjoy this one. In Dan's Garage...#31.
