David Jackson Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson
What a delight music legend David Jackson is. No surprise. I was warned by his legions of loyal fans, most of whom are his brilliantly talented contemporaries. This was fabulous fun, topped perhaps by pre-fed stories with lots of misinformation which paved the way for the truths, which proved to make it all even more fun. So what if David wasn’t actually at Columbia Studios when George Harrison hid the pot from the cops, he told great story! Who cares if David was with Cher in DC, not the Chateau Marmont when she got a call from Jimmy (President Carter), not Henry Kissinger, or when he was offered his own show after being a regular on The Andy Williams Show he didn’t turn it down, it just… well… he tells it... and then some… and then some more. Great stories, all. We hear about Hoyt Axton and how they wrote Ringo’s No No Song, and Three Dog Night’s Joy To The World, and what happened to David in both, there’s the Chambers Brothers, Bo Diddley, Jackson Browne, John Denver, Sonny, and Sonny and Cher, Glen Frey, Jimmy Buffett, a GREAT story about Roger Miller and Glen Campbell, The Bohemian Grove, what that gentleman’s club is really all about, and his upcoming trip to Marrakesh to play and… play. What a life. Well lived, still living to the max. This man is damn delight. Top to bottom, start to finish. I can’t wait for his return to the States and his Friday nights at The Write Off Room with The Deductions. Till then I’ll be hitting his Bandcamp
David Jackson has a new huge fan. *raises hand*

It was not quite sunup coming back from my run, so I at first didn’t see the girl coming towards me.
She was hefty, like a happy milkmaid in a flowing yellow dress, very put together…short polished boots, a wicker satchel with a blue bandanna tied around its handle.
But what really caught my eye were the two braids that swung down to her waist.
Imagine Pocahontas in a Laura Ashley dress.

Salvatore Phillip “Sonny” Bono (February 16, 1935 – January 5, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and politician who came to fame in partnership with his second wife Cher as the popular singing duo Sonny & Cher. He was mayor of Palm Springs, California, from 1988 to 1992, and the Republican congressman for California’s 44th district serving from 1995 until he died on a skiing trip in 1998. . . . . . . #autograph #autographcollection #promophoto #signedphoto #autographs #celebritysigned #availableforsale #musicautographs #musicmemorabilia @presleycollectibles #sonnybono #sonnyandcher #cher #americanactor #americansinger #americanpolitician https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-GWL8taS-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today Live! I met sparkling David Jackson at a Teresa James And The Rhythm Tramps gig where Snuffy was filling in for Billy Watts. I didn’t know who David was but I could tell he was special. In the break, both Teresa and Terry Wilson echoed, “You’ve got to have him on your show!” The David Jackson legend started with his co-writing Joy to the World, with Hoyt Axton, as well as Ringo’s The No No Song, being a principal comedian and musician on The Andy Williams Show, say what? That got my attention. There was a story about George Harrison, John Lennon, and… well, I’ll let David tell it… Cher, The Chateau Marmont, I’ll let David tell that one, too. And the stories about John Denver, and Roger Miller… The Chambers Brothers… Bo Diddley, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Glen Frey, Sonny Bono, Dwight Yoakum, the late great Jimmy Buffett, and a host of other stellar talents David recorded and toured with. We got what to talk about and I can’t wait! He’s fun! And talented, well hell, that’s a damn given!

On this Swinging Sixties Saturday we’re posting one of the best pop songs of the mid-sixties, “ I’ve Got You Babe”. It’s a catchy tune with simple words. I’m not really a Sonny and Cher fan but I’ve loved this song since I first heard it in 1965. Once this song gets into your head, it takes days to get out {I apologize in advance for putting it in your head for the next 1-3 days). “I Got You Babe” is also my favorite Karaoke song (after 6+ shots of Patron).
It was written by the late Congressman Salvatore Phillip Bono. Salvatore sang the song accompanied by 19 year old Cherilyn Sarkisian (what ever happened to Miss Sarkisian?).
