Alec Palao is the producer of Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970, a terrific four-disc compilation bound into a book that’s loaded with informative text and rare photos. He appeared on a four-hour KPFA fund-raiser with “Sing Out!” host Larry Kelp and me on October 17. You can listen to that broadcast by going to the KPFA archives and selecting October 17, 2007, and selecting Dead to the World and then Sing Out!. Alec brought in the two unreleased GD studio takes we hear in this week’s GDH, and he had some other treats that didn’t make it into Love is the Song We Sing, including a single of “Walk on the Water” by the Golliwogs, who later became Creedence Clearwater Revival and recorded the song again.
