Gary Puckett

know, it doesn't sound the same.

I saw Gary Puckett, who was my favorite growing up, Gary Puckett in the Union Gap.

I saw him about 10 years ago and he would have been in his early to mid 70s.

And I had the last time I saw him was in 1969, believe it or not, at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island.

Now, I did go a few weeks ago.

I did see the associations, Gary Puckett, and there was a couple others.

There was still two, I think two or three of the associations are still in the group.

But it's...

I really like that.

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap was one of my favorites from the late 60s and maybe into the very early 70s, but not much longer.

Not much longer.

That's coming up next with Frankie.

Can I come on down? Sure you can.

All right, Frankie.

Gary Puckett had one of the greatest voices.

We saw these shows at the Blossom or Public Hall, the reunion shows, which had Buckinghams and Grassroots.

I ain't afraid of no guns.

I'm going to be spooking myself around some old age homes in Beverly Hills and try to find myself Gary Puckett in the Union Gap or wherever.

I

think he passed away sadly.

Gary Puckett's gone?

I think he

kicked the bucket.

Let me finish up a couple texts here.

Let's talk about one of your best-known songs, and that is By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

Look, I'm Googling what's the weather on Monday, Sunday.

Hey, wasn't it fun going, 25 or 624? Every night, Gary Puckett, this is from the tour guys.

Anybody who wants to.
