Give a Little Laughter--What happened?
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 9:33 pm
So glad to be happy this website still exists! I'm back from a long absence, though I've changed my name...a few times. Initially I was initially Straight Shooter, then Midnight Voyager. Now I'm Somebody Groovy just because it sounds, well, so groovy!
While noodling around my local record store one day, I was astounded to discover that A Gathering of Flowers was released on CD! I gathered that one up quickly.I have not one, but two of the original boxed albums --one in better shape than the other. I even have a single 45 picture sleeve version (frustratingly I can't recall what's on it - it's been in storage on the other side of the country for several years, so I can't reference it. I think it featured interviews with John and Cass).
I was very excited to get the re-release of Don't Call Me Mama Anymore. The first CD release contained the bonus tracks Theme from L'amour, Listen to the World, and I Think a Lot About You. The prospect for more bonus tracks was so amazing.
Several questions:
Was the song Don't Make Me a Memory performed in her set list, but just not included on the album?
Are the songs and sequence of the album faithful to the shows she performed?
When and where did she record the medley of Make Your Own Kind of Music/ Dream a Little Dream of Me/New World Coming?
Give a Little Laughter was originally listed, but dropped from the album. What a cruel tease to get so excited about hearing an unknown/unheard gem then see it disappear. What is the story behind it?
