DAVID MALLETT
Jim Rooney on the Death of Singer-Songwriter David Mallett
MASTODON POST
Attached are Jim Rooney's memories of David Mallett. This is no small thing. Rooney is a very long-time and prominent professional in the music and recording businesses.
https://www.mmone.org/jim-rooney/
He got started performing on Boston's WCOP Hayloft Jamboree for my own personal merry mayor, Nelson Bragg, the "Merry Mayor of Milo, Maine" (the place of my very own birth). He has produced Grammy-nominated albums by Tom Paxton, John Prine, and Peter Rowan. Rooney was one of the key players in the rise of Nanci Griffith. Rooney produced at least three albums for a singer-songwriter I much admire, Iris DeMent. Jim Rooney has done a lot since his 1950s start. So, to get a little context here, Rooney's recollections of David Mallett have a great deal of professional weight behind them. This Facebook post by Rooney came from a Web search hitlist on a related but different topic. While going through the hitlist, it was apparent his post had been reposted I don't know how many times. David Mallett was from Sebec, Maine, which shares a town line with my old hometown, Milo. Being easily among his first fans, I have three singles by his 1960s group, The Mallett Brothers, and two tracks by his next duo, Hinkley and Mallett with memorable guitarist Don Hinkley.

Bluegrass musician and composer Peter Rowan jamming in our radio studio during an interview in August of 2015. I enjoy having performers play live whenever possible. It's like a mini-concert and I have the best view. #radio #Hawaii #PeterRowan #throwback
ULTIMATE SPINACH
"PLASTIC RAINCOATS / HUNG UP MINDS"
Mastodon Post
PLASTIC RAINCOATS/HUNG UP MINDS
Ultimate Spinach - Topic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBA80uS8b4g
"Plastic Raincoats" is a fun song. The Ultimate Spinach, a prime example of The Boston Sound, was a better group than I remembered. If any band members ever stop by, I will apologize.
The Boston Sound, which came to be called Bosstown, was a major label promotion (MGM Records). It fizzled and Bosstown became a joke; but this was not entirely deserved. Some very good music came out of the Boston Sound and the better tracks recorded then hold up very well to this day.
At the time, I was of the view, which would seem to put me in the minority now, that the Jeff "Skunk" Baxter lineup of the Ultimate Spinach was the best.
Hooray for the all-around great John Cooke, Earth Opera, David Grisman, The Ramrods (renamed "Puff"), Peter Rowan, Teddy and the Pandas, the Ultimate Spinach, John Lincoln Wright, and a whole host of others. New England hippies had a wicked good time.
One of the Bosstown-era singers, who came out of Boston, went on, in the 1970s, to become the biggest dance music star in the world: - Donna Summer. I am a big fan. Donna Summer's late '60s Boston band, The Crow, played innovative psych/pop arrangements at the Psychedelic Supermarket.
