Miguel D'Amore & Thalia Zedek

Sonntag 28 July 2024. Matt Burns memorial, the Burren. A lotta alta kaka rockas, good to see those Still alive and well. Larry Newman solo opened adding Shel Pierce of Runes and Frank Rowe of Baby's Arm on harp and slide guitar respectively for "corona virus blooze". Frank Rowe did a splendid solo acoustic set followed by da chargin' '70s hard rock of Spike. John Hess of Awakening Stick had a hard-rock trio called Vogon Poets with Alex Leacock of Goody Goody Gumdrops on drums. Mitch Murphy of Triple Thick now has Shiny Beast, good grungy garage. Crow Follow always great wid dat Tom Waits/X sound. Joe Fagan of Slow Children jammed on blues standards wid a Cream/Hendrix trio sound. Captain Easychord had his super melodic toons and Schmiel tossed in "Hi Ho Silver lining" and "toast and marmalade for tea". as for Kenne Highland's air force: larry newman/al hendry rhythm section, guitars by Ken and Schmel,keyboards by Captain easychord and Alex Gitlin of Mad painter,  John Keegan on sax and, as a special guest: Ken Follows! The Spragues on backup vocals and Ramona on tambourine. HAVE I outdone the Gizmos at the Bloomington public library back in '77? read about it in vulchur! I did some soulful vocals and the space jams out-Nined Plan Nine. let's not forget classic ruins wuz in dere and "tales of brave ulysess" always a treat AND: the CABLES TABLE! Krazee Ken/Johnny Black/Carl Biancucci STILL tryin' to get a drummer for cables reunion....as if I need another band! Matt Burns family there too and I told Matt tales wid a New Hampshire accent; a Comedy Tonight! My other joke: Matt dies and this is like the Big Chill widout the Motown soundtrack! THREE cups of Burren coffee and FORE(skin) hours of sleep equals Ken keroauc as Neal Cassidy drivin' OFF da Road!

Sonntag 28 July 2024. 0500. FXretro, "tv eye on me" caught the last hour of Surf Party, grade Z black and white surf/smurf movie released 30 Jan 64, danke Gott fur der Beatles on Ed Simian about a week later. Bobby Vinton as a surfer dude! tell Blowfish the astronauts and the Routers perform at some Beach Bum house party! ("Let's go smurfin' now"....)...BUT creme de al creme "Insult to Injury" is Jackie DeShannon! singin' in a pre-Beatle beehive AND surfin' in a bikini! "put a lil love in your heart"! wikitree lists her as born in Kain-tuck as Sharon Myers; Myers et a;. traces back to Swiss Mennonites that went to Lancaster Pa. (like Mike Pence and Patsy Cline and more). She has I-M 253 (Viking) DNA and family tree DNA lists her as DNA match to Cheryl Crow! For a very talented lady, this is one embarrasing movie, for Bobby Vinton, schlagers ist as schlagers does"

Wednesday, July 31, 2024 day of Wodin 31 July 2024. 0500 "TV Eye", Turner classic movies dis tyme. NUTHIN like coffee watchin' "Sun arise" and cheesy movies! Corvette Summer 2 June 78! too busy mit der musik von Moin World! Teen leaves Cal Cali-fornia for Viva Las Vegas in search of a Corvette Stingray, stolen, meets gurl...Grease meets Amerika First Grafitti but wid '70s clothes AND Luke Skywalker! AND Danny Bon-a-douche bag partridge family wid my distant cuzzin Susan Day (Bigod Eggleston descendant). This wasnt Plan Nine level, more Somerville Theater '70s cheesy but Trust Me: Miss Lyn DID NOT make me watch this at the Natick mall! (Grease and E.T.,yes.....)

(he got some absinthe from one of his "dolls"; wee doggies!). Femme fatale double agents/checkpoint charlie/prisoner exchange/double crossing...Cold War "thriller" maybe? NOT familiar wid it but Mr Jane Fonda would call it a Turner classic movie! "Amerika First,mofos!"

Absolut Bella von Munich; all I could sprechen wuz Britney Spears and The Woman in Me. coffee/google...guess she wrote a book....so fuggin' what....I went on Famous Kin; she and my great-great grandmother Highland both descend from Charlemagne.

"reincarnation" equals I knew John Whipple 1617-1685 (settler) (wikpedia). lived in Neponset Village. Mass. before moving to Rhode Highland. buried in Providence's North Burial ground, 1.1 miles from Providence commuter rail due north....next tyme I'm in Lil Rhody,maybe Miss Lyn will get me lost/wearing black/buying a Cure book...there's even a KEN'stucky Fried chicken nearby, Queen....let's all go the cemetery and thank John Whipple (bro to the Ipswich Whipples whom begat james taylor) for begatting Britney Spears! Now as to that Britney Taylor "fire and rain" duet...sounds like Arf Arf to me!
