Eine Kleine Rockmuzik

An ad in Billboard, March 28, 1970. Boy, those were the days.

And here's the band and song in question, live on Dutch TV a few months earlier.

That's kind of appealingly Procol Harum-ish, no? And that keyboard player is really a lot of fun.

Anyway, I either never heard of those guys previously or I'd simply forgotten them, both of which possibilities strike me as odd, because as long time readers are aware I'm a fan of Dutch rock in general. In any event, when I stumbed across the above the other day, it was a very pleasant surprise.

Not to fear, however. Regular, less self-indulgent posting -- i.e., the traditional weekend essay question -- will resume on the morrow.

P.S.: It just dawned on me that the above is actually a clue to the subject of the aforementioned essay question. A coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will of course be awarded to the first reader who guesses it correctly.

Nice track, but that drummer isn't exactly an octopus in a bathtub.

Re essay question: How about "Best Music Act, or best record by a music act, that is not North American/British" ?
