Thanks Decomposed...your son was great on "Martha My Dear" as usual!!!!!

That song (Night Owl) came out on the same label around the same time (Paula Records) as "Judy in Disguise" by "John Fred & the Playboys" which was a billboard #1 hit for a while. Our song did chart on Billboard, but more marketing dollars went to "Judy in Disguise" & we were just a neglected step child on that record label.

This same band with a different name (Debbie & the Ladds) opened for the "Who" in Baton Rouge for their 1st American tour with "Herman's Hermits"at Redemptorist High School stadium on July 26th, 1967.

I was lucky enough to get meet all of the members of the Who back stage & sit and play acoustic guitars with Pete Townsend.

At that time nobody really knew who they were in the US. I thought they were fantastic & couldn't believe that they destroyed & pretended to blow up their instruments at the end of their set.

Pete Townsend really did smash his 1965 Les Paul Special that night. Today that same guitar would be worth about $10,000.00.

They even sang a song about a spider (Boris the Spider)I was just 15 years old at that time!!

re: "I hate your guts! You ruined my life! Bye, bye, baby, I'll never be your wife!"


LOL! Just your typical '70s love song! I'm only surprised Helen Reddy didn't do a cover of it.

Honestly... that was a great song. I wonder why I've never heard it. Did it chart??
