vera's. "TV Eye' had the Secret
World of Alex mac, which was on Nickleodeon,
which IS these kids "oldies", plus Ace
ventura Pet detective (Jim Carrey, like my father
and Miss Lyn's father all DESCEND from John Nutting and sarah
Eggelton of Groton, plus both my father and Jim Carrey are Charlemagne
descendants) Jim carrey in club with stage-divin' (SO '90s!) to
"Thrasher band: cannibal Corpses). plus a teen movie Cant
barely Wait. DJ
panda is a BIG ole bear and a great dj! Still a Dynamic
Superiors album cover in booth where Jimmy Boticelli used to spin
with Todd Purple...ok let Mach Bell and the Music do the talkin':
Blind Melon! disco lights and bubbles! Dont go chasin' waterfalls!
I like the way you work it mo diggity! a hip-hop version of goin'
outta my head! "Linger" by Cranberries! drunken 20 somethings
dancing and singing along...guess i belonged at 70s night! Last
song/last dance for me at midnight ("hey hey Cinderella"
turning into pumpkin) was...."Groove Is In the Heart"-dee-Lite!
Age 67 and i was STILL "dancin with micelf" despite
a "Rainy Night in Georgia" and my arthitis...anyplace
where the staff throws debbil horns or fist bumps me is 'alright

"Sonntag 30 april 2023. 5 pm The Jungle. The wit and wisdom
of Leon Rich: "I live in outer space...I havent had a real
vegetable in a long time"; "The best thing in the world
is ice cream in a cup"; "There's a critter under my
stairs' AND in beatles "she loves you": Pride can kick
your ass/apologize to her". DA BALLZ!
Morning Sun is a young Worcester lad in a poncho
and a "Stephen Stills hat" (captain Easy Quote!) who
has a CSNY type band and thinks I look like Jerry and talk like
him too ("Marihjauna! exhibit A"). has a Gizmo where
you record rhythm, then play lead over top of that BUT also plays
TRUMPET opening with "all Blues" by Miles Davis! There's
a country toon, some classical picking and "Blue Mountain
Mistress" about a new Hampshire mountain; almost a cuzzin
to "rocky mountain high"!

Connor Hennesy is a country dude with: "there's
a drunk man at the bar/his name is Kenny with a K/as if there
could be no other kind"....goddam Nobel Prise winning lyrics!
lastly Faulke Yue with his gravelly voice, down-tuned
guitar AND a jaw harp player! But I best enjoyed morning Sun on
trumpet and Shawn Deidre on vocals doing callioipe circus music!
with the low-tuned guitar and jaw harp....Leon Rich's ole Thursday
busker night at the Outpost reunion!".....

"Dienstag 2 may 2023. 0400 maybe, Coast to Coast
Am Wrko 680 AM. "singer Gordon Lightfoot
has died". maybe at a Fischer (Dad's grandmother) reunion
in Ontario summer '67 i heard something on CANDIAN radio (streets
were CLEAN too!). 1971, 8452 ridge road, brockport NY (Rock On
headquarters!) I first heard "if you could read my mind"
on a Toronto station and said "that's a good song' plus I
AM into Mind reading! (also heard alice cooper's '18' on SAME
canadian station, same year, both acts then became Amerika, First
bands with HITS!!!!). Gordon Lightfoot Jr (born
1930s0 IS on wikitree! (you KNOW I couldnt resist). His great
great grandfather Henry Lightfoot born 14 may 1801 Sproatley,
Yorkshire england, got married 1825 Thorpe bassett,Yorkshire,
died ontario canada 1857 (STILL a British citizen til 1867!).
BUT Gordon's great-grandfather Joseph Lightfoot born 1833 Yorkshire;
died 15 June 1916 London Ontario! seven miles away lived MY great-grandmother
Highland who even got married there then said "Amerika First"
as the Motor City TWO (Dad's grandparents 1912) though MANY trips
also back to canada and detroit WERE done. Shall I , Girth Highland,
toss garth Hudson into the mix? (London ontario 1937).
tune into WhatWave dave who HAS played Kenne Highland music
and I know 740 Am ZUMA radio Toronto (the WJIB of canada!) DOES
play it's quota of Lightfoot! I think even there's a Guess who
"Lightfoot", "he is artist""....

"day of Thor 4 May 2023. Space age exotica Lounge party 8pm-midnight
in the part of Vera's where 'even nancy Neon had a night that she
called Toast". ok my notes: "lots of cha cha music. need
a martini. young kids dress retro'...from a facebook story: "High
energy vintage. Prizes for best mid-century inspired attire"...scheiss,
i aint change my clothes in Fiddy Years! Does that COUNT, Viglione?
"Got a nice lounge chair. Lounge music!". "This is
my parents vinyl with snap crackle pop!". It DOES say "all
vinyl" and this is SO 1963 camp lejeune when Ma would wear
a cocktail dress and Dad would wear a sports jacket and comb his
hair with brylcreem and spread his Saxon DNA unto my half-brothers.
"Lady dj...in vintage gown. kinda like Endora"...I think
Bewitched began about '64 when I's in a four room school house manassas
virginy and Ma's albums were what i heared the day of Thor. Some
toons: cha cha music (Ma had that), "Beyond the Sea" that
wasnt Bobby darin (I shoulda asked) , Martin Denny? (nature birds
and all) Six bucks for a non-alcoholic beer, one lounge chair and
free admission! Oh yeah: REALXED! FUN! How about das scheisse? My
final note, the Loony Tunes near Berklee had an EZ listening section
entitled: "Billy Ruane Music"....I'm SURE he would have
enjoyed the disco ball, the lawrence Welk bubbles and would have
kissed every lady's hand in their "Leopard skin pillbox hat!
(Halston, NOT Highland!)".....
