The greatest thing about Google and the power of the net is that it puts people back in touch with things thought lost and never found. Right now I'm in a bit of ecstasy after having identified and found two artifacts from my childhood through a combination of searches.
The first is and most exciting was this old song by Cat Stevens. Was Dog a Doughnut? This was, in my mind among the first songs that got me hooked on electronic music. Among the others were Billy Prestons' classics Space Race and Outa-Space, and of course the brilliance of George Duke, Bernie Worrell, Larry Fast and W. Carlos, all many years before Kraftwerk. Oh yeah, and Yellow Magic Orchestra.
The second and even more unexpected was a camp song from my childhood that I had begun to think was a figment of my imagination. It was one of those you only have the nerve to sing when you are drunk and around drunk friends.
