So long. Farewell

May 18th 2009 06:05

Hi all, I will no longer be posting from this site so it is up for grabs. It has numerous subscribers and a good hit rate. For someone who can spend the time on it, it's a great little blog.

I don't have the time to maintain it any more and I can't give it the attention it deserves so I am concentrating on just a couple of blogs now.

Thanks for all the readers and viewers who have supported the blog since I took it over.

Cheers

Cheryl J

Sharing a spliff with Jesus

June 21st 2008 14:42

A very funny video from the old Lawrence Welk Show of the lovely down-home couple, Gail Farrell from Oklahoma and Dick Dale from Iowa. A very clean cut pair singing about getting 'One toke over the line'. They thought it was a gospel song and not about sharing a spliff with Jesus?

This song is about drugs, especially marijuana. A "Toke" is a puff from a marijuana cigarette or pipe. This got it banned from many radio stations.
Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley were Folk singers in Los Angeles. and this was their only hit.
Brewer and Shipley were playing this at a party, making up the words as they went along and letting anyone else sing along, when an executive from their record company heard it and insisted they release it as their next single. Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead was brought in as a session musician and played steel guitar on this.

This appears on numerous compilation albums, making its way onto albums with songs about drugs, hits of the '70s, and one hit wonders. It remains a major source of income for Brewer and Shipley.

And then onto the lovely Dick and Gail singing it as wholesomely as if they were singing about home-baked bread.
