Alice's Restaurant

[Cypress Sun]

Yes, it's an anti-war song, anti-establishment and all that.

I only listen to it once a year, some like it...some don't.

 

Here it is anyway.

A classic, that at one time, I knew all the words to. Now, not so much.

I didn't realize that the real Alice had just passed away a few days ago. 

Thanks for the heads up Stump Water.

You always knew the DJ had to get a bite or use the bathroom when this song or American Pie came on the air.

HAHAHAHA!!!

In case any of yáll are interested, Deep Tracks, channel 308 on SiriusXM plays it several time a day on Thanksgiving.  The music and sat-jocks are worth listening to as well.

I usually stay on Classic Vinyl or go to Rewind when Vinyl plays Elton John.

 

I also hit Tom Petty, The Dead, and The Beatles channels from time to time.

Damn, Stumpy, I could have gone all day without knowing Alice has passed.

Otherwise, thanks for posting.  Now I don't have to go looking for it on the radio on the way to my Grandmom-in-law's house tomorrow.

Even the Beatles had a disc jockey break song!

[Cypress Sun]

Although it didn't get played much, another DJ break song

I never cared for Alice’s Restaurant, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and a couple other classic ‘60’s hits. Nothing wrong with the music. They just don’t remind me of good times. Also, I was born in ‘61 so some 60’s rock tunes were a bit over my head. Then again I was probably the only 10 year old that owned, loved and listened to Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s first album released in the U.S. in ‘71.
 

Long play DJ break tunes - Free Bird, Stairway to Heaven.

Interesting that she passed in Welfleet. As kids and til the mid 80s we spent summer weeks in Welfleet! My Grandparents had a home on the Atlantic in South Welfleet.

RIP Alice

In-A-Gadda-Vida was the break song that WTLB Dau Tieng used as a break song.  It was always on the 2nd turntable with the needle on the song's beginning.  When there was incoming the DJ would flip the turntable's switch, pot down the on air audio & pot up In-A-Godda-Vida.  Then exit the studio and jump into the bunker under the middle of the hooch that the was the radio station.  WTLB was the 25th ID's pirate radio station at the end of the divisions deployment to SVN.  Pirate radio stations existed to play rock music because AFVN played mostly elevator music.

Local radio station here plays it every Thanksgiving at High Noon!

[Michigan Slim]

Was on here at noon.
