The Guest List
Thursday July 15th, 2021 with Joe Reilly
An interview with Dave Merritt of the Golden Seals and some great original songs and fantastic covers by the Golden Dogs... err... sorry ... Golden Seals

Today we talk to Dave Merritt who has been active creating independent music for over 20 years as part of The Golden Seals. We listen to some original songs by Dave and the Seals and explore some fantastic covers that the band has created. We talk about the process of creating great music and spend a lot of time going down various pop culture rabbit holes. Dave also explains why he will be dropping the name The Golden Seals and continue making music with his bandmates under a new name soon. Check out the Golden Seals' music here: https://thegoldenseals.bandcamp.com/ http://www.thegoldenseals.com/ And if you want to hear more from Dave in conversation about the Golden Seals and hear more great music by the group then check out the Wavelength on Monday July 19th here on CKCU-FM as it will feature an extended version of this interview and lots of great pop-rock music from the Golden Seals. Use the link below to find that edition of the Wavelength. https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/161/52746.html Support independent music in any way that you can... and remember those streaming services don't pay artists - especially indie artists - enough money for the use of their music... you have to find other ways to support artists that you love. One more thing... here is the link to that posting about the Beatles song It's All Too Much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhS_G1K3cv8

WARNING: in the interview, I conflate Oakland A's/California Golden Seals owner Charlie O. Finley with Brooklyn/LA Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley (I went with Charlie O'Malley). Whatever--it's been a rough pandemic.

Hey Dave... all good. At least you notice your errors... I don't even know when I make them. Looking forward to your next Golden Dogs album.... ; )
