Thanks for posting. I have not heard of that band.

I did see a few lockdown performances on YT. This slightly diff version of NDs Sweet Caroline is one I recall:

Fountains of Wayne is a band that never made it big but was beloved in the NYC area and among the hipsters of the era. They were best known for "Stacey's Mom" which became a hit but is definitely not their best song.

I love that Neil Diamond one (never saw before) because during lockdowns my 14 year old daughter who was struggling emotionally with the isolation so I bought her a guitar and started to teach her and the first song we worked on was 'Sweet Caroline'. I chose it because I wanted something she knew and everybody knows it to this day, plus it's the chords are simple and it was fun for me to do my best Neil Diamond voice for the vocals. Seeing Neil do a stripped down version reminds me of our own "lockdown sessions".
