MUSIC FROM THE PAST: KIND OF A DRAG

I saw The Buckinghams just once, in the late Sixties when they were on a bill with The Beach Boys at a concert at Boston's Symphony Hall.  I can't remember who else played that concert except -- incongruously -- Jim and Jean, a talented folk duo.  As for The Buckinghams, they played this song and several others. Their drummer (probably John Poulas) kept tossing a drumstick spinning in the air, then catching it effortlessly without missing a beat, to the wild applause of the younger ones in the audience.  Ho hum.  Good song though.
