Sonntag New Year's Eve 2023. Private party=
"Stay off my property" by Hixx! In the living room was
Simon Ritt of and Kelly Knapp
as the Darlings sounding even MOORE like Highland/Moore:
Donovan's "Sunshine superman" done in key of C but with
capo....hey I went to Beserklee not Beserkly! Kenne Highland's
Air Force was a quintet KENposed of 60 per cent of 2019
Glider (Schmel herbie hind-guitar; captain easychord-keys/vocals;
me-bass and vocals and I'll "send alles mein leiben mit du"),
Al Hendry on drums and John Keegan on sax and Martin Swope percussions
noises. Bass was cranked up to a Grand Funk Live Album level and
new songs were "The Armenian Hex" (best Seeds songs
Richard marsh never wrote!) plus, though i DID steal the idea
drunk off mein arsch watching Tiny Tim with Joey Coughlin (RIP)
and dancin' with "Lady Friend" to "achy breaky
heart"); dere wuz a medley of "Helter Skelter"
(Schmel's idea) and I riffed into "american woman" and
"whole lotta love" coz they all in E; "I wish that
I could be....like herbert Khoury!"...Lastly Dave
Harrison's Fast Tracks with Jedeidiah Hixx on
bass and the great Bob "Bonzo" Daley on
drums AND a VERY flamboyant blonde singer crossing the line between
1974 Jobriath and 1977 DMZ. After mah SECOND "Human garbage
disposal" bbq plate caught the Sonics "Strychnine"
being covered; lettuce say Dave's setlist was pure '80s Highland
(he was ALMOST in the 1985 Hopelessly Obsscure but I think Gaye
Hathaway ended up on second guitar) mixing '60s garage and '70s
punk: again DMZ meets the Hopelessly Obscure. New year's countdown
and as sure as I jammed with cheetah Chrome New Year's '84, maybe,
Dave and gang busted into "Sonic reducer"! (first heard
"at the rat" saturday 16 april 77 after cheetah and
i smoked a pre-gig joint) ("Kenne remembers EVERYTHING"-Marjorie
Meadows,dangerous Byrds to Linda Price, L;en fant du paradis")..
A good start to year but then sad news the next day"

40 per cent casultty rate in Alice Highland. Ok, the Alpha: V

flash birthday party 2 apr 84, soundman Mark Mayhem
(RIP) tells me to turn down. matt wrote in whack
the cat: "Kenne says: "no" (hoots mon! No Surrender!).
Matt goes "way to go Kenne!" FRIEND FOR LIFE! 1986 perhaps,
hungover, streets of Allston, matt (KRAZILY!) agrees to bring a
snare for me doing Richman-esque Velvets covers: thus: WHACK THE
VELVETS! Buncha silly tribute bands etc and the Omega is, matt drums
on Be more flamboyant and howl of the she wolf and EVEN was a Gizmo
on the 2014 tour! My last gig with him was Hopelessly Obscure at
Once for chet's movie; oh yeah, he in movie also! last tyme i seen
Matt play was a fill-in gig (he was the KING of fill-in drumming,
always said yes) for Classic Ruins at Jungle, so that Omega became
the Alpha coz he wuz da ballz on da cymbal splashes on "tales
of brave ulysess' which he is currently playing with jay gruberger.
DONT forget he is also hanging with Gg Allin, that was a early '90s
Middle East gig. If i remember Moore (cant forget he played with
Jody!) I will have 37 years of Flashbacks to remember! in 37 years,
I be 104, same age as nathan beaureguard being led onstage Ann Arboe
blues festival back when my distant cuzzin Justine Covault "was

Sonntag "New Year's Day" ("U-2 are the bane of my
existence"-Jon Sox, F.U.s in '80s on MTA)
2023. Turner classic "TV eye" had a mess of BAD Japanese
horror films that afternoon but what had Miss Lyn and Gee Julie
transfixed was Son of Godzilla released
1 jan 67. beatles were recording Sgt Pepper, Dad was in 'Nam, Pepper
and 'Nam my two biggest infleunces. On a happier note, one year
before Blue Cheer and the Tet offensive, Both Miss and Gee thought
Marchan the Dwarf was "cute" as "Minilla:, Godzilla's
son. I enternatained the troops by making Godzilla noises and Gee
Julie astutely said Godzilla's growl pre-faced Chewbacca's growl
in Star Wars. The next up movie that day was Destroy All
Monsters....what a great name for a band!"....
