    Little Girl Lost And Found

Alice in Wonderlandwalking thru hallways, followed closely by little tin men...Performed by The Garden Club - aided by Tom Shipley of Brewer & Shipley, sung by Ruthann Friedman and written by Tandyn Almer, who wrote "Along Comes Mary" for The Association - “Little Girl Lost And Found” is a psychedelic waltz stir-frying nursery rhymes with a haunted harpsichord and deranged circus calliope arrangement.This post's track is from the 1967 single (A&M).It's easier to find on a recent cd comprised of unreleased demos written by Ruthann Friedman (she also wrote a hit for The Association, "Windy"; her demo of it is included) along with this recording reissued from the master tape (missing clicks, pops, wow + flutter).

    fistula spume says That's cool as all get out. I love the lyrics. I also love a trippy song with harpsichord.

    uncle creepy says harpsichord alert: 2:00 mins into "American Metaphysical Circus" (post above) harpsichords are key ingredients on: "Session Man" - The Kinks "Piggies" - The Beatles "Decades" - Joy Division "Mountains Of The Moon" - Grateful Dead "Sunshine Superman" - Donovan recall any others?

    jamesvictor says I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and remember hearing this song on the local L.A. radio stations. I remember liking the song, but it did not chart very high and was gone almost as fast as it arrived. Tonight was the first time I've heard it since those days, and I still like it. It's interesting to find out that Ruthann Friedman is the vocalist, since I was and am still a big fan of the Association.

    jamesvictor says By the way, the lyrics are "followed closely by little tin men", not green men. The lyrics are shown on Ruthann Friedman's web site.

    uncle creepy says Thanks James for your insights on this song. I've heard similar stories of songs that were played just once or twice on the radio back then, long before Arbitron and Clear Channel homogenized the charts - oddball numbers aren't played on commercial stations at all. But now college, satellite and internet radio stations, not to mention MOG and Myspace, spreading the otherwise unknown and underplayed for all who care to listen. What are little tin men? Offspring of The Tin Man from Oz? That's weirder than little green men following Alice around!

    jamesvictor says Yeah, I thought of the Tin Man as well, or weren't there tin soldiers in the Alice in Wonderland story? Jim
