It’s a 70s day in Southern California! Not only did our Hollywood song come from that era, but we turn to Los Angeles proper with another song from the 70s and a band that you probably remember from their 70s hits. Let’s take off with this one! L.A. in the Sunshine - Little River Band And of course, every time I travel to Australia in song, I have to give a shoutout to our great myLotter from Down Under, @JudyEv ! Because I don’t think of Australia without her. This was Little River Band’s breakthrough album in America. It contained the hits “Help Is on Its Way” and “Happy Anniversary.” (Oh, and Picky Wedia has the recipe for a “Diamantina cocktail”: rum, condensed milk, and an emu egg. Goes great with Vegemite, right? ) Little River Band had some terrific songs in that era of their greatest popularity. I certainly enjoyed them. Hope you do, too. L.A. in the Sunshine Written by David Briggs and Glenn Sherlock Recorded by Little River Band From Diamantina Cocktail, 1977 L.A.

Hold one of those thoughts. As for the other one, I saw them open for Don Henley in 1985.

I always liked them. Too bad none of the members are original anymore.

Yeah, like when I saw Neil Sedaka in 2015, the opening act was a Blood, Sweat, and Tears tribute band called Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Bo Bice was the vocalist, and while he was good, he was no DCT. Sedaka even pointed out that the guy playing bass with him was an original BS&T member.

Little River Band was such a good one from that era, I always liked their sound. Help Is on Its Way gets stuck in my head every time. Nice pick, and the emu egg cocktail made me laugh.
