Beau Hannon - "Who's Got the Right of Way" on Dionysian

Beau Hannon - "Who's Got the Right of Way" on Dionysian - how rare is it? Two copies on Popsike, 2008 and 2018. Any idea on value?

Any reason it wasn't included in TBM? Appeared on Boulders 9.

It's a Canadian artist if I remember correctly.

another version of the song on the same label

according to this site, the canadian related act was originally from Arkansas, but is it the same Beau Hannon? (there are two separate entries in Discogs)

Being a Canadian artist would disqualify him from TBM, but that article says he was from the US (I thought Ontario), and performed around both countries.

The 45 was recorded in Los Angeles with a crew of local musicians & producers and released on a Los Angeles label, so I think of it more as a California single.

I've seen the Beau Hannon 45 for sale several times, 'tho not lately. The Richard Williams 45 is more difficult to come across.
I don 't think either one has much value, unless Rob Bailey gets wind of them and starts spinning both!

Thanks for the info re: Beau Hannon. The only source I had seen / archived was a newsclip article touting his latest release at the time in 1966 on the Eskee label. It mentions Beau as being from Canada. There are so many blogs to seek out, I just don't have the time anymore to sleuth out details like I used to do.

Never heard (or heard of) this before. The song was worth an immediate repeated listening. Thanks for mentioning this!

One source notes Richard Williams was Dick Anthony Williams who had a career as an actor, but I can’t confirm this.

I can confirm this. I did serious diggin' on Richard Williams before and found an article (can't find it now) with
the release announcement and mentioning of this acting.
The locale is set to Chicago cuz Dick was from there even though it was (most likely) recorded in California.
