Thanks for posting this old Sopwith Camel classic. It was written by founding member Terry MacNeil, and he played the piano part. The sheet music for the original piano part on "Hello, Hello" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.
Nothing like the sound of an upright saloon type piano, nothing electric could even come close. Reminds me of kicking down the street in Detroit on a sunny summer day listening to my transister radio with my ear phone in and singing along back in the day. We who live through all of it are special and priviledged to have seen all the great music explode onto the scene back then; wow, what a ride at the Grande and Eastown, nothing like b4 it, nothing like it since.
Got the album when it first came and it became an our favorite to play every song every minute every second every note is embedded in our lives forever, love the CAMEL.........fazon everyone!!!!!!!.
I think that was the Lovin' Spoonful on Ed Sullivan. They sang "Darling Be Home Soon". They also had the same label, producer (Erik Jacobsen) , and sound as Camel. Sopwith Camelgot little support because of the success the Spoonful was having.
Sort of...when I was at the Ed Sullivan Theater so I could meet Johnny Mathis, they were the'rock group for that night's show. (They did "Darling Be Home Soon" which I love!) We passed and smiled, they were sweet. Funny too.
