Well, if you're mad about Saffron, Fourteen, and electrical bananas ...aha! .. then you're certain to be mad about Donovan's '66 smash hit, "Mellow Yellow." And to think when I was thirteen I thought this song was simply a clever, hip little tune filled with nonsense lyrics.
Released in the US on October 24, 1966, it reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 10, 1966 and #3 on Cash Box on December 17. It peaked at #8 in the UK in early 1967.
In the bathroom of our home hangs a hilarious picture of Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd in their Ben Hur outfits. On their sandals, they are pushing a Vespa scooter through the sand of the arena. The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. S.p.A. of Pontedera, Italy to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio. The picture of Heston and Boyd was made for an advertisement series by Piaggio in the late 1950s. We found a series of postcards with several other stars on Vespas. For this post we chose our twelve favourites. Andiamo! Vroom, vroom.

Beta Hi-Fi Archive
Judy Collins welcomes Leonard Cohen to her PBS TV concert performance in this video clip from January 1976. They perform Cohen's song, "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye," which Judy had recorded for her 1967 landmark album, Wildflowers.
This new encoding of the footage has better quality video and includes my new embedded ID tag. I have copied and carried over some of the comments from the previous posting. This footage is taken from a PBS TV program, broadcast over 30 years ago in monaural sound, and captured on a Sony SuperBeta hi-fi deck.
Joséphine Marcus Earp (1861-1944) was an American part-time actress, dancer, and prostitute who was best known as the wife of famed Old West lawman and gambler Wyatt Earp. Known as "Sadie" to the public in 1881, she met Wyatt in the frontier boom town Tombstone, Arizona Territory when she was living with Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan. She became Earp's common-law wife for 48 years. She died in Los Angeles in 1944.
