Well, I think I was just plain wrong about a Taste of Honey. Done by Alpert, but not Brubeck. Sometimes my memory is just not all that reliable. Especially after a few years.

I can still visualize the cover to the album "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" from around 1965. For the time it was extremely risque. I think it lead off with A Taste of Honey. Funny, earlier this morning I found myself humming "Lemon Tree". I know that Trini Lopez did a vocal of that song, but I think that the TJB also did an instrumental of it.

Great trip down memory lane Plen and Cal. Better be careful, I'll start conjuring up PP&M, the Kingston Trio or Bellafonte and then where will we be?

Too late to be careful. Your mentioning the Kingston Trio triggered something and I had to look them up. Only song I could remember by them was Tom Dooley and I knew there had to be a lot more and of course there was and here is one that I never heard that I liked. Couldn't find anything with PP&M, the trio and Harry Belafonte, but this song has Mary Travers, Judy Collins, the trio and a whole lot more.

Puff the Magic Dragon. My tastes were a little more on the folk music side. Phil
Ochs, Joan Baez and the early Bob Dylan.

This Gordon Lightfoot standard, performed by PP&M in 1966, is one Ive always loved for its simplicity. When I listen to this song, I find that I'm humming it all day long.

That's a good one and also one that the Kingston Trio sang, but I think PP&M do it better.

A song that I've been hung up on for the past few days is the old Dylan song There Ain't No Use to Sit and Wonder Why. Lately, it's never far from my reverie and I find myself singing it sometimes at the top of my voice. No one here, but me and the dogs and so far they haven't voiced any opposition to my singing. I might encounter some though, if I burst into All Alone in the Moonlight or Like a One-eyed Cat Peepin' in a Seafood Store.

As I watch my favorite horses lose
I find myself singing
