But First... (or "Arpaia's Other Vocal")

     Well, I said what I had in my next post would be "really something". And it was gonna be. But I went-'n'-ordered another song that fit that description, and before I could get around to posting the "really something" I was gonna post, I got my other "really something". And since this hasn't been online anywhere, I think this holds a little more precedence. So I'm gonna put up this "really something" now, and I'll put up the "really something" I was gonna put up next time, okay? So now...

     I guess in the same way we all consider Wiki as the so-called "authority" on things in general, Discogs has now become the so-called "authority" on recorded music. And according to the Wonderful Wizard of Cogs, there are only 2 known songs where William - oh, excuse me - Wm. Arpaia has a vocal credit: the infamous "Listen, Mr. Hat" - oh excuse me again - "Listen Mister Hat", and this one.

The Flying Flag Forever - Wm. Arpaia & the Soothsayers Download

It's a dang shame this was stuck as the B-side, so here it is, first, where it belongs!

Heaven Was Where I Had Been - Lance Hill Download

And now <ahem> here's the other one.

     I hope to have my first "really something" here very soon.

Music of America HAR-38

     I'm glad to be back with my first post, for the 3rd time.

     Here's a complete Hollywood Artists "Music of America" album. This is one of many with the same title, so I'll use the number of this particular one, HAR-38.

I Will Seal It with a Kiss - William LeBlanc Download

Not only does the title look familiar, but the words sound pretty familiar, too.

I have a policy of "as family-oriented as possible" with this blog, but I'm afraid I'm gonna get away from that with this link. There's an album that Bob Purse posted on his "The Wonderful and the Obscure" blog. Here's a link to that album.

You'll notice right away a disturbing song performed by Steve Day. Now, in case you're wondering "Gosh, I wonder how this guy would sound with a country song?", here's your answer.

Sin No More - Stephanie Allen Download

After hearing the song on that link, here's a song we'll all need.

Boy Just Wants to Make a Living - Stephanie Allen Download

I know this is an anti-racism song, but some of this makes me think of the crap I went through in high school. Decades later, they're starting with the no-bullying rules. My goodness, how I coulda used that then.

The title is familiar, but this time the words - aren't.
