Happy 78th birthday to Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, drummer for Creedence Clearwater Revival and its successor, Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Doug did the vocal on "Hello Mary Lou" from Mardi Gras, Creedence’s last album, from 1972.

They were, and actually John Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford have been playing together again. Who knows? We might see a reunion…

Good song. Always like CCR.

They split their albums pretty well so that they did about 2/3 originals and 1/3 covers. I liked that…

The original, with the brief James Burton solo, inspired a lot of guitarists, no doubt including John Fogerty.

I’ve been dong it for several years now. If you go to “Categories” in the right-hand column nd select “Song of the Day,” you’ll get most of them.

I prefer “Run Through the Jungle”, but “Hello Mary Lou” will do.

This was very late Creedence, from their last album. The earlier stuff was definitely better…
