"saturday 22 april 2023. Mad painter cd release party WAS a "My head's in '73" flashback party and "where do i begin'...Richard "mensch" Mirksy and his New Wave gang opened with Blondie's 'dreaming' into 999 "Homicide" into Buzzcocks 'what do i get" into david Jones "queen bitch...how much DO I love Johnny Plankton! Kevin Coombs on guitar with

Mickey Bliss

fiddy per cent of Miles Dethmuffin in audience, Linda Bean having rumbled was in absentia deo. I told Miles "y'all were the Beatles, Linda's in Wings!"; kevin said "no we were the jam, she's Style Council",

Ad frank made some whack Sweeney Todd reference... with micky Bliss, esquire there, this is NOT slander NOR libel! mad painter brought in drummer Al Hendry's Quincy crew, Sharon Crumrine brought in HER fan club and some Ginger Ibex, my 10th cousin once removed Justine Covault gave me some old kenne vinyl she had (photos)...hey this is reading like Rock Scene with who was who at max's! Stigmatics still sound like 1977 Afrika Korps me, dan McCarthy on drums, he from Downbeat Five AND the varmints; a treat to hear Billy Borgioli's "cant make you stop". lastly, Thighscrapers whom keep getting better and better; Miss Lyn admired Jimi james guitar playing, he having played in lady luck at Timothy's two with THUNDERTRAIN! (NOT mentioned in Saint mach's gospel, but Saint Coinneach has the craic). "1970" by stooges was a treat, schmel herbie hind standing there (doing a great job on bass I might add!!-ed) Ron Asheton style AND Brian Young sometimes looking like 1973 Alice Cooper! We DID have a "Be more flamboyant" contest but since he bowed to me...I won!

Wes from Vera's was there so gee Julie (whom sang and moved great!) and i and captain easychord and matt Burns of V adjourned and et some vittles! A "perfect day" til Coast to coast AM came on wrko 680 Am at 0100!".....

"Sonntag 23 april 2023. got out of work 1800, invaded tavern at end of world 1900, encountered Allied Forces of Hummigbird Syndicate; no enemy encounter. Mr. Ohan had his open mike 1900-2200,so....Suzanne Boucher had some bluesy Bonnie Raitt orignals, good stuff. frank Rowe was acoustic with Dylan harp rack and sang a song about the Goddess Bra factory where he ALMOST got me a job after my honorable discharge in 1980 and failed attempt to rescue the hostages. Ribaggedon Rob Lynch did marshall Tucker's "heard it in a love song"-marshall tucker; "rocky mountain high"-J. Denver BUT the Dead's "Ripple" had couples dancing and me and Shawn Devlin of Big World takin' turns on tambourine! IF you had told me that Dienstag 9 sept 80 heroes/Big World at Underground I'd a-said "oh dolly you must be mad/ what happened to the Sweet and love albums we must have"...(answer; Lindagarrow on discogs!).

Suzanne Boucher

Frank Rowe

Rob Lynch

CAPTAIN EASYCHORD! 'welcome back kotter"/"bad boy leroy brown","night chicago died"/"nice to be with you"/"my blind shrink". Moi cousine Justine Covault, red on red records re: "Night chicago died": "NO WAY!" (she's irish twins to my sister/cuzzin so she was ALWAYS cool....)

Captain Easychord

i sang some blues with captain easychord (keys) and charles hanson of Ross Phasor on guitar. I THINK it was the electric flags "texas"/John lee hooker "boom boom"/'goin' down slow"-Highland Wolf (we are both "300 pounds of heavenly joy"!)/ "john the reveletor"-Son House, good call and response from my congregation as Ich ist ser sanger mit der Teufel musik von der Sonntag.

Charles Hanson

Doin' da blues
