There once was a band called “Lovin’ Spoonful”, which was really just a vehicle for the music genius of John Sebastion. I’ve mentioned John before on this blog (re. “Daydream Revisited”). I can only describe the band as purveyors of “good-time music” that made you tap your feet and hum along. They only had one #1 hit, “Summer in the City”, which I never particularly liked. But their other stuff was priceless – “Younger Girl”, “Daydream”, and “Do You believe in Magic” to name a few. Sebastian’s songs all had jug band and folk roots, which accounts for the great tune “Jug Band Music”.
You’ll seldom hear it played by anyone and, back then, you never heard it on the radio. What a shame. I searched high and low for a sequence to this song and never found one (not even on the pay sites). So I made my own and am sharing it here. Whenever I do this song, people say “What IS that? I like it”. Help me give this song its due – perform it at your next gig – it’s fun!
Listen to my sequence below – then go get it under “Pop/Rock”.
