Talk Talk by The Music Machine
Sean Bonniwell
The bass player was Keith Olson. I don’t know whose father was, but Keith was one of the producers of Fleetwood Mac as well as many other bands.
Other songs include,
The People in me.
Cherry cherry
Some other Drum
“Talk, Talk”
The Music Machine (saw them at the Hullabaloo).
That’s all I got.
I know its Talk Talk by Music machine of Sean Bonniwell’s mind, but cant think of enough other titles off hand. Eagle Never Hunts the Fly, Masculine intuition or something like that. Not sure on more tho. As for the bass player, weren’t all of them “nameless” like in That Thing You Do?? haha Good luck to winner!
BTW, you can hear a nice interview segment with Sean circa 1966/7 on my WFMU radio show here:
