   Turning the leaves was a long, arduous recreation.

   Looks like I’m going to have to step in and share some music again this week. This time I’m going to concentrate on new music from the great band Squeeze who have surprised me by releasing a wonderful new album, “Cradle to the Grave.” It isn’t often that a band whose time in the sun has dimmed comes back with much worth listening to. But Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have still got it. First up, the song, “Sunny,” which owes a big debt to The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby.” I think you’ll hear why easily enough. Great storytelling set to great music.

     im6,
     I hear the similarity.

     I love this song, and I guess you’re not surprised that I haven’t ever head of Squeeze.

   Next up is the original version of the song, “The Strange Effect,” which was on the 1965 album, “Kinda Kinks.”

     im6,
     I am a long time Kinks fan. This is great. I haven’t heard it in forever. It is still as wonderfully haunting.

   Now let’s see what kind of spin Squeeze puts on that old Kinks song 50 years later.

     im6,
     It is a good cover, but I do like The Kinks more. I think they sing the title better. It comes across as a strange effect, strange than this.

   Does that vocal on the Squeeze version of “This Strange Effect” remind you of something or someone? Maybe something like this song from 1974’s “Walls and Bridges” ???

     Im6,
     These are so connected. I probably wouldn’t have noticed as I didn’t know Squeeze.

     I am impressed with your memory for music.
