Star Time #103: Veil of Mystery
It's back to jukebox mode this week with some classics, rarities, oddities and advanced-level dance moves from 1964 to 1972. Highlights include basketball legend Oscar Robertson checking in for novelty, pre-surname Ashford & Simpson, pre-Monty Python lumberjack action, burning cornfields, the inconvenient side of the Bay Area, indiscriminate peepers, and someone named Fluffy. Jump in, mind the low ceiling.
