Calling occupants of most extraordinary songcraft...we are observing you...we are your friends.  Get mellow and sensitive with O3L this week as we discuss our Top 5 Acoustic Songs.

We were very fortunate this week to have Third Lad Terry Draper from Klaatu join us this week.  In 1976, Klaatu let their music do the talking, with a blend of whimsical psychedelia, spacy progressive rock and melodic power pop...so much so that masses of people believed that they could be The Beatles under a pseudonym!  The brilliant, essential debut album 3:47 EST and single "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft" became hits on FM radio, with "Occupants" covered by none other than '70s pop icons The Carpenters.  

But the Terry Draper story doesn't end with the demise of Klaatu in 1982.  Since returning to the record bins in 1997, he has remained incredibly prolific with new music.  Following 2020's Lost comes the ambitious new album The Other Side.  If you are a fan of adventurous yet always tuneful music (and we know you are), pick up his latest releases at www.terrydraper.com.

Terry shares a lot of fascinating stories from his rock n' roll life.  Be sure to also check out our bonus episode, where we cover everything from his beginnings in the mid-60s to encounters with Mick Jagger, Ozzy and Boy George, his recipe for a "songwriting cake", and how he continues to make progress after over 50 years of music.  

So take a trip to "The Other Side" with Terry & O3L.  A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
