Jim, I already provided that info, in the very next "Music" entry in the blog, here. John B. Sebastian, leader of the Lovin' Spoonful, on "Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful."

I quoted the title of that song in an article I wrote last year for Sci-Tech News, the newsletter of the Sci-Tech Division of SLA. Is that your library connection?

The album on which the song appeared was released in 1966, so it’s reasonable that it would still have been popular in 1967.

If nobody comes up with the library connection, I’ll post on Monday.

Memory is such an odd “murky bucket” (Lorcan Dempsey’s term for WorldCat). The minute I read the title, the dang song was playing in my head even though I didn’t live in North America until 1967, and I spent my early years with Cilla Black, Kathy Kirby, Jimmy Saville and PJ Proby on “Top of the Pops.”But I can’t figure out the library connection….

Don’t know about the library connection, but I DID just pick up a “slightly blemished” Martin Backpacker travel guitar at the local Musician’s Friend clearance center…. for a song… and I’m a librarian…
