The fancy title is because I was looking at some Erle Stanley Gardner books as I was coming up with it. He wrote all the Perry Mason books (and as AA Fair wrote my favorite detective novels with Bertha Cool and Donald Lam). All his Perry Mason books are titled "The Case of the ..." and when the main protaganists of the band The Nerves end up being The Beat and Peter Case, it just made sense in my head. Really it's The Nerves Family Pick. Nerves became the Breakaways which turned into solo stuff for Jack Lee, The Beat (later Paul Collins Beat) and The Plimsouls which led to Peter Case solo. These guys are semi famous. Their songs ended up in Caddyshack, and Valley Girls as well as covers by Blondie that went ballistic. I liked most all of it. I have saved a few tracks to be used only in solo picks, so don't despair if your favorites aren't there yet. But these are my very favorites of each. I know it's Halloween, but I decided to send you to another site (Groovy Library) for some great Halloween tracks instead of posting some myself. George did a great job with Halloween this year!
