177 We Love The Flower Girl: L.A. Sunshine, Psychedelia and Harmony Pop
A welcome diversion to a less complicated time, the late Sixties on the West Coast of the US and the pop scene there. A show full of three-minute singles from some lesser-known bands from that era.
Very well attended too, with a peak of 25 listeners and 24 for most of the show. Hope to see you all again.
