Been a fan ever since “Summer In The City” was a new release…certainly seen a lot more about John Sebastian in the news recently, what with the 40^th anniversary of “Woodstock”…

The Lovin’ Spoonful certainly don’t usually get included, when the honors for really excellent 60’s records are being slathered on. I think “Hums” is an awesome album, worthy of anything 1967 can bring on.

Always interested / amused to think how badly John Sebastian must’ve been treated, what with having his debut solo album ‘pirated’ by a previous record company (MGM released it after Reprise released it, with MGM copying a Reprise copy? I don’t know the whole story on this one).
