Playlist for Friday, May 25, 2007

This was our 6th Annual "Bird Dance Beat" show -- a salute to the rockin' sounds of Minnesota in the 1960s.

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always locally recorded!)
The Kan Dells -- Bottomless Well (CD-R)

The Kan Dells were from Sandstone in southern Minnesota. They got their name because the band was so busy they were said to be burning the "candle" at both ends) While they released a bunch of great singles, this great garagey track is one of approximately 10 recordings that never made it into distribution.
