A few days ago, I was listening to NPR and was surprised to hear a tune I haven't heard in many, many years. And then, I heard the name of the group that performed it: Moby Grape! I haven't thought of Moby Grape since I was in high school, but the moment I heard the music, it came flooding back.
As I dredged up memories from that long-lost piece of my life in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I remembered another couple of bands I'd long since forgotten, Bubble Puppy, which had a flash in the pan dance with fame (Hot Smoke and Sassafras) and the Bad Seeds, both of which were formed by people around Corpus Christi, Texas, where I lived at the time.
There's a lot about Moby Grape that reminds me of the Grateful Dead...or vice versa. Anyway, for posterity's sake, here's a YouTube video of Omaha, my all time favorite Moby Grape tune.
