Robbie Rist + Don Frankel = Sundial Symphony
That's right -- starting at 4 minutes 54 seconds into the first hour of today's Music Authority program, you'll hear Sundial Symphony singing "Merri Goes Round," a song I wrote with Ed Fox in 1971, recorded back then by a studio group I put together called The Trousers.
Sundial Symphony's version was recorded in 2016, and released on Big Stir Records in 2019. I should mention that Sundial Symphony consists of Robbie Rist (yep, Cousin Oliver) and Don Frankel. Don played keyboard on lots of the tracks on my 1972 LP Twice Upon A Rhyme, and accordion on "If I Traveled to the Past" and "Tau Ceti" on Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time, released on Old Bear Records and Light in the Attic Records (vinyl) in 2020.
James Jim Prell, DJ for The Music Authority, says all the songs he plays are chosen by "algorithm". But I owe him a big thank you anyway, for presiding over that algorithmic choice!
