MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW May 21, 2023 #228

*We'll play a track from 1979 with lyrics all about how the innocence and wonder of childhood can quickly give way to worry and cynicism as children are taught to be responsible adults.  It makes the point that logic can restrict creativity and passion.  The keyboard player of the band that recorded the track thought it quite relevant back when he wrote it, but thinks it is even more so today. Being in boarding school for 10 years promoted such feelings.  Name the British band and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*Peter Frampton's first group was called The Herd, which coincidentally was the first name taken by this band back in the mid-60's.  That name did not last very long as they chose a new one based on some equipment they observed doing local road repairs.  Name the band...
 
*This duo of artists were both from Texas.  Both artists were at one time, members of the band, The Champs (remember the Tequila song?) in the late 50's/early 60's.  When that band dissolved in 1965 they worked with several other artists, including Gene Vincent.  In 1969, they released their first album as a duo.  Name the group...
 
*This 1972 album was the body of work by which most of their fans began discovering the group and the album has retained its freshness over the decades.  The entire band was attuned to the slightly heavier and more Southern style they wanted to work toward on this collection of tracks.  This was the band's second album and not only was it a huge financial success, as any platinum record would be, but it was considered artistically impeccable.  It was pretty close in style and sound at various points to what the Eagles were doing during the same period.  The band did however, throw a bit of jazz, R&B, country, folk and bluegrass elements in for good measure.  Name the band...still very active today...
