Wow -- we've got a Birthday Band for you today.
SSS's occasional feature (when we've got absolutely nothin!) only asks you to consider the possibilities of a band that could have been assembled with artists born on this day.
Duane Allman (1946), lead/slide guitar: Well, we pretty much nailed it already. Anybody else is puddin'.
June Christy (1925), vocals: A mainstay with the Stan Kenton band, she would have given Allman a chance to stretch the limits on "My Heart Belongs to Only You.''
Tony Butala (1940), vocals: One of the Lettermen. Can't hurt you, might help you -- especially if you're playing a sock hop.
Norman Greenbaum (1942), vocals: He's gonna set us up with the Spirit in the Sky. (Did you know he wrote that after watching Porter Wagoner perform a gospel song on TV?)
Joe Walsh (1947), guitar, vocals: Forget the Eagles, we want the energy and sound he brought to the James Gang.
We could add Jimmy Brown (1957) of UB40 for drums, but who needs 'em? Same for Mike D (1965), a rapper for the Beastie Boys.
