I listened to Kid Stuff records as a tween and only later learned that some of those records were written by two of The Turtles- Mark Volman and Howard Kaylen aka Flo & Eddie. They got their gigs with Kid Stuff via the animators for Frank Zappa’s movie 200 Motels that later did the Strawberry Shortcake cartoons. It would be interesting to know if John Braden had any working relationships with them or if it’s just a coincidence. I interviewed Mark and Howard about their Strawberry Shortcake records on Kid Stuff for Scram Magazine (they also did Care Bears and GI Joe) and they are very proud of it! More money and more Gold Records! Please let me know of any info about John’s work at Kid Stuff via kkuvo@nyu.edu Thank you so much!LumpenLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114176946757060529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772327965841573712.post-41666632629075766962019-09-10T03:51:51.439-07:002019-09-10T03:51:51.439-07:00The best I can add if that I loved this album abd ...The best I can add if that I loved this album abd particully John and Sneaky's What a friend we have in Jesus.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680434267010658202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772327965841573712.post-32002782884335799382016-07-26T00:28:48.198-07:002016-07-26T00:28:48.198-07:00I have a particular interest in Song To Raymondo. ...I have a particular interest in Song To Raymondo. I have known and loved this song for 45 years, and have performed it often (latest time last night). My reference point has always been the Autumn (Australian) version of 1971. In the last few days, however, I have heard the John Braden original and also a version by another Australian group, The Charade. The Charade version dates from 1969. The Charade recorded an album containing two John Braden songs - Raymondo and Hand-Me_Down Man. I am still checking, but I think that Autumn covered the Charade version. Charade probably found the original Braden recording and covered it. I've chanced across a live version of Raymondo by The Charade on Youtube - it did not have the song name in the video until I asked the poster to put it in. It's at www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiP8tDpZK8U Here is some detail on the Charade album www.discogs.com/The-Charade-The-Charade/release/6706012 John Braden's album can be downloaded here http://guitarzansvinyljungle.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/post-142-john-braden-john-braden-lp.htmlRichard Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146460243627544674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772327965841573712.post-66732148140473271852011-05-29T19:57:51.094-07:002011-05-29T19:57:51.094-07:00I taught John Steve Gillette's 'Darcy Farr...I taught John Steve Gillette's 'Darcy Farrow' one summer evening at a church coffeehouse in 1965, in South Florida.Kate Kennedy Butlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772327965841573712.post-77872193534668286292010-06-29T10:22:46.521-07:002010-06-29T10:22:46.521-07:00I used to know and hang around with John in the la...I used to know and hang around with John in the late 60's while he was in south Florida. I believe his mother lived down there. He was very cool and very beautiful. He sang at a few get togethers in Lauderdale and Dania. The autoharp was a new/old thing then. I had never seen one until he brought it as his only accompliment one night. We used to hitch hike together around Florida. I never knew what happened to him later, though he was one of the highlights of my young life. Pretty cool guy, way out of my league.<br />richardfrancisconway@msn.comRichard Conwayhttp://richardfrancisconway@msn.comnoreply@blogger.com
