Dienstag 21 may 2024. The People's Karaoke at vera's 9 til "after midnight".atteneded by me and Gee Julie. I sang the wilson pickett version of Free's "Fire and water", which fit my voice well, thus i dont need singing lessons for certain local labels. Followed by the "ooga shakas: of Blue Swede's "hooked on a feeling" which fugged up MY shokras; first heard it on a car radio in February '74 ridin' into a Sabbath concert, man wid a buncha Brockport NY stoners....havent been de same since!

by way, James Brown "cold sweat" was an earworm so DAt iz next week's toon; I do gruff southern soul better'n sweet Philly falsetto so it's like da Irish curse; do the best wid what little you got! (Brian Maday,green street station, drummed on "brother louie" but in '80s WAS in 1-4-5!

"This is more r&b/soul album than the earlier bluesy albums. Butterfield's fifth album released October '69 (did I buy on the road then?); opening track "love march" performed at Woodstock,as was this lineup. I enjoy "Losin' Hand", slow blues written by dude wrote "shake rattle and roll". Buzzy Feiten had replaced Elvin Bishop; damn good replacement too on guitar! Another reason for the soul route was Jerry Ragavoy,whom had penned those Janis soul covers "piece of my heart" and "stay with me baby". David Sanborn is even in horn section! (later a smooth jazz dude."....

"Last but not least, not one to pass up Dead People Facts, Paul Butterfield descends from Benjamin Butterfield, one of 32 men whom signed the Woburn, Mass charter, the other being Ma's di-rect ancestor Sgt John Tidd. 1669-1969: from Puritans to Woodstock! ("reincarnation"!). wikitree has a couple Butterfield DNA matches and his (and mine) haplogroup) is R-U-106,proto-Germanic, the Saxons that went into England hailing from around Frankfurt, Deutschland. Again, a splendid album that I never usedta own yet (til now!)"......
