Every now and then, I rummage deep in my IPod and play something from the attic.  Today, it was Tricycle by Flim and the BB’s. 15 seconds later Paula called out from her office, “I haven’t heard this in so long!”

The cover from Flim and the BB's 1983 CD Tricycle.

I fell in love with this band back in the 80s listening to my local public radio station.  We used to have a Saturday Morning jazz show hosted by a fellow named Bruce Reidenbach.  It was the high point in my week.  The show always started with a Flim tune called New America off the Big Notes cd.

You know the funny thing about that time?  I used to regard that show as my weekly guilty pleasure.  We were members of a very strict church that forbade listening to worldly music.  It seems so pathetic now – to worry about such a trivial thing especially since the music is so FABULOUS!
