Tom's Tall Tales - "That clicking sound you hear is my typewriter

Tom's Tall Tales - "That clicking sound you hear is my typewriter"

(Tribune)

As I write this, I’m experiencing the music of “Three Dog Night,” that wonderful trio from the 1960s and ‘70s: “Mamma Told Me Not to Come,” “It Ain’t Easy,” and “Out in the Country.”
If you’re not familiar with those melodies and this incredible trio with their remarkable harmony, you’re in for a treat if you take a listen.
I’m not streaming Three Dog Night online. I’m listening on my “new” record player. That “… apparatus made up of a turntable that spins a record around and around …” that I wrote about in my last column. I told you then how much better the music sounds. Clear. Distinct. Clear-cut. I swear I can hear Chuck Negron breathing.
