It’s about time someone pointed this out! Thank you. In 1969 I was 5. My parents were on the verge of divorce, and my “hip” stepmom had not moved in yet with her Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour LPs (which I still have). It was Bingo and Micky Dolenz who inspired me to surround myself with shoeboxes and “become” a drummer. I wouldn’t stare endlessly at those Beatles album covers for some time yet. I had a Banana Splits 45, and an “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” single cut from the back of a Honey Comb cereal box (I had to plead for that as we weren’t allowed “expensive” cereal). I thought it was the coolest sound I’d ever heard. And you know, that Banana Splits song in their first episode has an impressive pre-chorus and not a little soul. Thanks again, Paul.
