Enough already. Some stuff still seems vibrant and relevant years later, some does not. This tune is okay, but it is heavily dated (which is fine) and it isn't quite Bach or Coltrane. Do you really listen to John Cage - does anyone? |

I wore out three copies of their first album. And I'm not a complete fuddy-duddy. I like Daft Punk, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, et.al. But just because a song is more than 40 years old doesn't mean that it is no longer beautiful. If RP has taught us anything, it's that good music is good music....age doesn't matter. |

| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Apr 26, 2012 - 09:06 More from the magically musical year of 1969 |
| johnjconn (chicago land) | Posted: Apr 26, 2012 - 09:04 Ahhhh , the 60's |
| meuks | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 15:47 These guys were the sh#t in the 60's - earlyt 70's. Remember "White Bird"? Yup. Its a Beautiful Day....once again RP pleases when it surprises... |
| bobzane | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 15:44 Nice call. I haven't heard these guys in forever. |
| msymmes (Toronto, CA) | Posted: Dec 21, 2011 - 12:33 Don't know what to think of this. I will flag it as a 6 for now. |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Oct 19, 2011 - 04:33 Feeling more than a little Grappelli in this one. =) |
| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Sep 17, 2011 - 13:47 Wow, heavy man, heavy. Back when music was more than music, it was COSMIC, know what I mean? Just kidding. But seriously, really, really good stuff, they don't make cars like they used to(thank goodness), but I wish more music was made like this stuff, karma filled joy.If you really like this song, you should buy the album, The Dolphin is one of my fav's as well, and was covered much later by Gove Scrivenor on his album from a few years back. Man oh man, life was good back then, life's still good, and I really believe in spite of all of the naysayers and end of the worlders out there, that it will be a good life in the future. You just gotta keep your focus, keep smilin, no matter what. |

I like this just as much now as I did then. You evidently could not be bothered to explain how the context of 2010 has changed your opinion from 1970. How old are you, anyway? |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 03, 2010 - 21:34 Foot. Won't. Stop. Tapping. The only other song I've ever heard by these folks is "White Bird." What a departure "Don And Dewey" is! I'm lovin' it...  |
| sid1950 | Posted: May 31, 2010 - 04:24 Saw these guys in 1970 at the Bath Festival. Their set was awesome and I bought "Marrying Maiden" as soon as I got back to London. I lost the LP about 20 years ago along with a lot of others from that period so this was a very welcome refresher. |
| catnip (just about... there.) | Posted: Apr 29, 2010 - 11:50 For reasons that are beyond me, this reminds me of "Whistlin' Past The Graveyard" by Tom Waits (off Blue Valentines). That album is from 78, a good 8 years after It's a Beautiful Day recorded "Don and Dewey". No idea why. Am I going mad? |
| rtrudeau (Bay Area, California) | Posted: Apr 29, 2010 - 11:49 I considered myself a fan of these guys back in the day — yes, a long time ago, why don't you rub it in, AgentOrange— and I've never heard this track. Thanks for playing it, Bill. And the segue to the following track, Embryonic Journey by Jefferson Airplane, was flawless. Bravo. |
| Tjerome (West Lebanon, NH, USA) | Posted: Apr 29, 2010 - 11:48 Haven't heard this since it came out in 1970—nice! |

| gatorade (Ocean Park, WA) | Posted: Jan 24, 2010 - 19:29 One of the best bands of the era. So fun to see them live. Deserves way higher rating! |
| bobringer (Wayne, NJ) | Posted: Dec 24, 2009 - 09:29 Christmas Eve and I'm busy working my ass off to get stuff done so I can put work to rest for the next two days. Man, THIS is the sort of thing that you only get on Radio Paradise to make that whole process go SO much better. |
| rez | Posted: Oct 22, 2009 - 13:57 I bet Huey and Louie are feeling a bit left out. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Oct 22, 2009 - 13:49 Havent heard this for a very long time!! Thanks RP!! |

| sharkartist | Posted: Jul 19, 2009 - 21:21 Have loved this song since the days of "underground" radio. I uploaded it twice and it got rejected both times, glad Rebecca finally came around. |

| kurtster (Seeking shelter from the cold) | Posted: May 17, 2009 - 07:59 Still love this song and like hearing it on regular basis. It still stands up, especially if you love good fiddlin'. |
| hippiechick (Heaven, a place where nothing ever happens) | Posted: Feb 11, 2009 - 14:46 I just love this song and this group. One of the few oldies i have in my collection. |

Hey, can I have your old LPs? |

 Saw David & Linda LaFlamme last month w/ Tom Constanten on keyboards.. Opened with "Don and Dewey"! ..real professionals, tight and hard working, enjoyed them quite a bit, very nice vibe.. I think the 72-73 band that so disappointed you may have already lost their heart and soul?  IFF
damn...where'd Alice and the Dormouse wander off to now... |
