Port Washington Library - SoundSwap
November 9, 2018
Port Washington, New York







Below are video captures from the webcast of The Cowsills show.

Here is the setlist and some comments from the show.
1. Susan told the story of the boys going back to school after seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan for the first time. Guess what they did? They all talked in a British accent.
2. The C's sang “This Boy.” Actually the first two words of the song are ‘That Boy.’ Susan said she always sang ‘This Boy’ till it was pointed out to her and now Paul feels he has to remind her every time to sing ‘That Boy.’
3. During Q&A, they were asked to sing River Blue and they did a few bars.
(Note: You couldn’t hear the questions during Q&A, so I’m improvising whose some questions were here.)
4. Ask about the milk commercials. Paul said they thought since they all look so good at 70 they should do another commercial (Paul still drinks a gallon a day). They looked into it, but there is no longer any American Dairy Association. They talked of having to go take pictures with dairies at every stop as part of the contract and mention Jewell as the cow that produced the most milk that year.
5. Talked a little of Wes Farrell and Tony Romeo and that they’d both passed away.
6. Asked about the start, Bob talked of getting the two 4-string guitars and Jack Johnson teaching them a few chords.
7. Asked about what song did they think should have been a hit that wasn’t and Bob said “Some Good Years.”
8. Ask about John, they replied “Tick Tock his game is locked.” Bob told of going to a BB rehearsal once and John was acting up and Bruce Johnston said, “Want him back?”
9. They talked of going to see movies a lot when they were out on the road. I think they said Paint Your Wagon maybe 15 times and Camelot about 20.
10. Since this was a library they joked about the ‘Dewey Decimal System.’ Bob said “Wasn’t that Donald Duck’s nephew?”
11. Paul said Barbara used to always say, “Don’t play ball with Paul because someone always gets hurt.”
12. The C's said since they do a lot of Indian casinos, they always ask if it's offensive to them to do the war hoops in Indian Lake. The vast majority of the time they say, "No! We love it."
13. They used to call Paul ‘Louie’ when they were kids but they don’t remember why. They now call Susan, ‘Sailor Susan,’ because of her vocabulary.
14. Susan was excited because she now has a month off work!
15. They got into a discussion of who had the bigger bald spot, Bob or Paul. To be continued LOL
16. Mentioned they be at the Cutting Room on December 8th.
