For the youngsters here..Back in the mid 60's there wasn't Classic or AOR, album oriented rock on FM.. Those stations pretty much stuck to local interest or maybe Classical music.
Popular music , or Top 40 , AM dominated the airwaves..WABC could be heard halfway across the country at night..WLS, Chicago, KMOX ..were some of the big players.
There were some local soul or country outlets but even that stuff crossed over to Top 40.
You would hear British Rock, Motown , Elvis, crossover country , and Pop , all in one place
Late 60's underground FM was still in it's infancy.

Here's a couple from and artist you might have heard back then.

This one touches on a lot of subjects in 3 and 1/2 minutes}

Ed Ames, of The Ames Brothers played Mingo in the Daniel Boone TV series with Fess Parker...Probably one of the finest singers ever..Except for maybe that guy from AC/DC ;-)
Ed is still with us..at 93 !

Eddie Ames played an Indian named Mingo in the Daniel Boone series many, many moons ago lll. I never realized he had such a wonderful singing career ....

You mean Festus Hagen, the wolfer who only rides mules and can’t read OR write ....
Who walks around Dodge city making noise with those spurs .....what a talented cowboy....

The California Country Rock contingent is just one big ,happy family.
This one features two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

Can anyone identify the groups involved?
