The Cowsills vs The Partridge Family

Guiltily thinking of this storm as Hurricane Barry Cowsill.

Rewatched the Sullivan show video and some of that Rhode Island reunion and man, John is a great drummer.

I love them all but it always amazes how good baby brother John is.

This came up today and made me really happy:

i heard Hair the other day & it put me in such a good mood

:)

I was transfixed as a kid when one of the teenagers who worked in my dad's milk store (either Vince or Roman, I believe) had the radio on and knew all the words to "Indian Lake."

But did he know all the words to “I Think I Love You”?

I probably knew those myself at the time--we all did.

This one just popped into my head, “You’re Not the Same Girl.”

nice!

Yes. Assume “Katrina” is another song about Barry.

And indeed it is.

John Cowsill is out of the Beach Boys.

Oh wow, what happened? He was still listed in recent shows, like in May, at least.

I like Rhythm of The World, though the guys sing all the leads. Glad to have Susan in strong duet w xpost Freedy Johnston (see upthread for their album w Jon Dee Graham)---from his 2022 janglefest, Back On The Road To You, this is "The Power of Love," brothers and sisters:

Don’t know the details yet, just saw in some feed.

hope he rejoins the 'sills.

i wonder if mike love tried to involve him in trump rallies/benefits. though you'd think that ship had sailed.

John and another guy, ScotT Totten, who apparently was the musical director, were both let go.

Susan's husband Russ is currently the drummer for The Cowsills and I think on package tours maybe there is some house band anyway.

Let go from the Cowsills? That’s not right!

Btw I just saw him ponying around on stage with Vicki Bangle at the ‘Nuggets’ 50th Anniversary show

Awesome! I read that John was no longer with the Beach Boys, hopefully not also the Cowsills.

He hasn’t been associated with The Cowsills in years

But he has been associated with his wife Vicki Peterson for quite a long time.

So let go by the Beach Boys only then, just as I surmised. Yes! What relief.

He does sometimes seem to appear with his siblings, but it’s not very often at all and not expected.

John anc Vicki apparently are living in NYC right now, but so far I have yet to cross paths with them.

i love susan cowsill, I can't even imagine how weird it would be to sing in a band at 8 years old but she never stopped so, still sounds great too

she popped up singing backups while I was trying to find the definitive live "Welcome Back" (Kotter) which seems to be this, on youtube anyways

and then youtube was already open so had to listen to "Cocaine Drain" and then it was a cowsills evening

Susan became a really good singer but some of the early years kid sister stuff can be painful to watch, although I kind of feel bad even mentioning that.
