Monday, April 1, 2024

saturday 30 march 2024. took a lissen to BBC radio wales and caught WELSH WONDERS. you can listen to podcasts about Shirley Basssey and/or SIR Tom Jones but plesantly listenable was Bonnie Tyler! She covered Big Brother and Holding Company "Turtle Blues" (bought that as "piece of my heart" b-side but played IT more than I ever played It Play!) and Bonnie does a very credible version; BBC said she even recorded it in Janis's same recording booth! again, you can check out the podcast if'n ypu want"

TAZ
Dienstag 2 april 2024. My 68th birthday party. 6-9 pm. the jungle: Hip Hop Showcase! with the OJI Collective there was a mosh pit and guys in masks with baseball bats whom reminded Miss Lyn of The Warriors. Before each song, the rappers would testify like Pentecostal preaching to which captain easychord said: "kick out the jams modda fockas!" There was a MF Doom reference, hence the masks? And a rapper name Taz, whom Miss Lyn thought wuz gorgeous. My birthday guests: Miss Lyn/Micky Bliss/Captain Easychord and Sharon Crumrine of Milling Gown.Me/Captain/Sharon all adjourned to Vera's for The People's Karaoke. I performed "Delta Lady" mixing April 2 birthday boy Leon Russell with Joe Cocker and Captain sang "what a fool believes" doing his Michael MacDonald impersonation. So the Final Score for most intersting birthday: Hip Hop Showcase and karaoke! "God Only Knows" what next year brings!

day of Wodin 3 april 2024. Since a February Middle East gig with Ginger Ibex, I've had a free three-song cd of Force us to stop implanted in my $20 central square Goodwill cd player. LIKE them on Facebook and there's a toon that mixes "Incense and Peppermints" with the Bubble Puppy and the Rugbys "Wendegahl the warlock". Continuing in this '68-'69 vein, the keyboards are kinda Mad Painter-ish, meaning some very Heep Purple swimmin' round in some vanilla-ing Fudge with a trace of Bloodrock. There's a Union Tavern gig on a Friday soon; catch 'em with Mal Fitzhugh on Rickenbacher bass of Ginger Ibex whom also was in Sans Nomenclature and a google of her sez" "from stafford,virginny"; I was KEnceived in Garrisonville, it's all (Jim) Stafford county! (and I DO like "spiders 'n' snakes"!)
