On the 8th anniversary of his sudden passing (February 29, 2012), here's one of my favorite stories about being with Davy, and a clip from our first meeting and interview where he talks about success.

Howard Kaylan, lead singer of The Turtles, tells an amusing story about the band's early days when they played a UCLA fraternity party.

Tommy James tells Dan Markus how Tommy's first hit, "Hanky Panky," took years to become a national hit.

The rumor has circulated for years … in 1966 George Harrison recorded a guitar track for friend and companion Donovan's signature song, "Sunshine Superman."  Or did he?  Dan Markus put the question to Donovan, who in turn puts the rumor to rest once and for all.

Arlo Guthrie's first record release was the fabled "Alice's Restaurant," released in 1967.  It was unusual for several reasons … most notably that it was 18+ minutes long and mostly narration.  Here, Arlo reflects on his debut offering, which became an instant classic.

What Top 5 hit from the Summer/Fall of 1965 featured a prominent whistling part that no one in the band could perform?

Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young) were artists who were not afraid to tackle some of the issues of a turbulent time in the world.  In this exclusive interview clip from the mid-80s, Graham Nash tells Dan Markus about the band's willingness to deal with public issues through their music.
