get Vicki Peterson back in there, with her Continental Drifters colleague Susan Cowsill. Also Marianne Faithful, for, for instance, another round of the already-MF-covered "Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good" (but not with Billy Corgan this tyme)

Yeah, that whole Continental Drifters connection always makes me have to take a step back and recompute.

So Susan was married to one of the other band members at one point, Peter Holsapple, and is still related as an in-law to one of the other members, Vicki, who is married to baby brother John Cowsill. Furthermore, both the Continental Drifters and Billy Cowsill's band The Blue Shadows played at SXSW in 1994. https://www.bapresley.com/silverthreads/fans/fanclub/fourthclubconnection/4_4.html

And here's another #onethread/James Redd implosion. In Season One of Love American Style, the theme song was sung by The Cowsills, whilst in Season Two it was done by The Ron Hicklin Singers, who also sang the theme song for The Partridge Family, among many other TV themes. DO U SEE?

Impossible to listen to her version of Bright Lights without hearing the brass parts in your head

Susanna Hoffs@SusannaHoffs·Dec 11Michael Nesmith's music was such a gift. I heard the wonderful Linda Ronstadt singing his song Different Drum in 1967 (the year this photo was taken) and never stopped singing it...https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FGV1JSrVEAINxo1?format=jpg&name=medium
Nice pic, of course. If it goes away, see her orig tweet.

That's a big-neck guitar for a child---don't think I could play it even now.

Um, she’s probably not actually playing it per se at that point.

Her new covers album is quite nice. A more eclectic selection of songs than the last one, including Ed Sheeran and Holly Humberstone. Not all classics, but all pleasant. "You Don't Own Me" feels sort of gratuitous, we have so many versions of it, but it's not like I mind it.
