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.
