Loving 'Lovin' Spoonful'

The Lovin' Spoonful had two really good years; 1965 and '66. During that time favorites like "Do You Believe In Magic", "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice", "Daydream", and "Summer ln The City" secured the bands place in rocking-roll history. Fast forward 35 plus years and Lead Singer John Sebastian is still sounding as good today as back then. He stopped by the PBS studios tonight to play a little acoustic and harmonica for our live national membership drive broadcast. It's that time of year again and just like last, musicians, celebrities, writers and comedians are invited to push their CD releases and documentaries through the 'peoples channel'. Living next to Woodstock is always a bonus because a nice eclectic mix of world-class artists always volunteer. Sebastian was great. Laid back, friendly, unassuming and still brainy-looking as ever wearing small rim glasses and custom suspenders. His unique brand of good time music infected the phone operators as well as the camera techs and we left the studio whistling...

"Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy..."
