Scott Sookman<\/strong> wrote to me about his version of LOUIE LOUIE:<\/p>\n

Not sure if I ever sent you an email about the version of LL done by the band I was in “Pop Machine<\/strong>” around 1991.<\/p>\n

One of my other compadres, Tommy G, has posted it on his blog<\/a>, along with an explanation of the thought behind the song, which was actually officially titled “Louie Louie Meets Steely Dan<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n

\"Pop<\/p>\n

The people in the band were\/are:
\nAllan Morgan<\/strong> – keyboards, guitars, vocals
\nScott Hewitt<\/strong> – guitar, vocals
\nScott Sookman<\/strong> – keyboards, vocals (me)<\/p>\n

Long story short, we met in college doing a comedy show on the student TV station circa 1986, and also formed a band, and did so again later when we all moved to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Yes, we were a real band as we actually played TWO CONCERTS and appeared on Dr. Demento<\/strong> about 3 or 4 times. Continued recording stuff in the studio for many years after that, and our CD is still for sale at CD Baby and Amazon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you Scott! This is a nice version! As I appreciate the dedication brought to the creation of this recording. You and the band are winners of the LOUIE OF THE WEEK award!<\/p>\n

While we’re on the subject of Steely Dan<\/strong>, I thought it might be fun to share a rare advertisement of a Steely Dan record from 1973. I believe this is from a Rolling Stone newspaper<\/p>\n
