Yes, we played "Yellow Balloon"...what a great song!! It was another album cut feature. I don't have any idea why it didn't chart with us. It went to #25 nationally??? You tell me??

Interesting that DAY FOR DECISION
lyrics wound up on the front page.
I remember KFXM playing it and
really loved the "song". Hit home
and touched me. Al Anthony must
have thought highly of this and
figured we needed to hear it.
I applaud that decision.
Interstingly, 40 years later,
just change a few words and
it applies to today--it's
eternal. I play it once in
a great while and it still hits
me like it did 40 years ago.
Did DFD ever make it big nationally? Did KMEN ever
play it? It's a real gem.
Another note on DAY FOR DECISION.
It's on the front cover for July/67.
However it was played on KFXM
in the Summer of 1966. That's when
it charted there.
I guess they put it on the front
cover for the July 4th 1967 holiday.
