obscure lyric for the week of Aug.3/09

August is here. August as an adjective means inspiring reverence or admiration of supreme dignity or grandeur or majestic. Now that has nothing to do with this weeks song, I just wanted to throw it in.

This weeks song was sung by a band at Woodstock on day 2. They were the 7th of 10 performers that day and were surrounded by such luminaries as Sly and the family Stone, Janis, some guy named Carlos Santana and Keef Hartley Band. The band (not The band, they did not play on day 2) has broken up members have left and then reunited with a slightly different name and have been known to play at Casino Rama. There may have been some brothers involved at some time and I do recall (this is a giveaway) that one of my first purchased albums has something to do with a factory. What I do recall about that was the traveling involved (and it's not the Wilburys, cause most of them didn't attend). This song was on the B side of a 45. There are lots of questions to answer this week so get your thinking hats on and a few fortunate ones will get some of them right.

Here are some of the lyrics:

I can remember the 4th of July

runnin through the backwood bare

and I can still hear my hound dog barkin

chasin down a hoodoo there

Here is what I would like to know:

Have a great week. It's a short one. Yes, I know that short weeks mean doing 5 days work in 4 days, but as the Eagles say (not a hint) "get over it". Looks like summer finally arrived, we just had an awesome weekend. I am now humming this song so much it's driving me crazy.
