Tuesday, July 31, 2018 usually, at my day job,"I dont like Mondays" but a Southie townie co-worker goes "Kenne i saw you on NECN the other day!" (that's new england cable news in case you're reading this in flensburg or bari)..."you were talking, there's some film about a guy and a club'...Light Dawns Over MARBLE HEAD! that would be the chet's last call documentary which i believe is airing in wood's hole the weekend. If I'm wearing a BLACK t-shirt with a (draped Snoopy bust) breast pocket , FASHIONS BY MISS LYN (dandruff c/o ME!)...I have yet to see my footage though I rehearsed ALL my lines the minute they said "Kenne, you want to do an interview?"...maybe this clip will end up on youtube, who knows....I just now heard "there's Kenne the movie stah!".....if they only knew! I DO type this column at work in a Walter Mitty kinda way and as ALL the ladies know, underneath my Clark kent demeanor I AM the Man of Steel".... (Hey Kenne it's on Vimeo yo!!-ed)Wednesday, August 1, 2018 "tIL tUESDAY 1 AUG 18; Further details on my "TV Eye" appearance; business news Sunday on New England cable news, only shown the once. hey! SOMEBODY saw me, so happy I'm doin' the Snoopy dance! In other news, I guess Mathhew D Gilbert is 'on the up and up" about next Gravedancers cd produced by Bills Mafia Drew Townson,special guest me: Matthew and I were geeking out on Tull footage (he's sort of a surrogate Jay Gruberger when it comes to classic rock), so he was RAVIN' 'bout Tull guitarist Martin Barre (me and Thrills guitarist in '78 "rapped" about the majesticness of Mick abrahams!), so I guess I'll be guesting on cover of Tull's "New day yesterday" off STAND UP (had a Venezuelan copy $1 in your ear records where the gatefold "STANDS" up; this is BEFORE popups!). also trying to co-write a "punk" song; "what would steve jones do?" so Mathew has stole from Pistols "something else", then a nice descending riff; working title: "why did you glom onto me"...."was it desperation? a new sensation? loneliness hangin' over me'....subject, folks that jump from relationship to relationship and 'barnacle" themselves to somebody....no REAL names here, just observing....and these lyrics WILL be Nobel prize winning! Just ask Ken kaiser!".....Thursday, August 2, 2018 "day of wodin 2 aug 18;
MJ Quirk drove me to club linehan-ago-go practice
as ramones "babysitter" (non-lp b-side!) played; rehearsed
a shitload of Lou Reed toons for hearing room, lowell, mass
8 sept 18. Joe Quinn had on sirius on
ride home (oh yes! drummer Kevin Linehan has a
headpiece for harmonies, so look out CSN!) (I only wish.....)....beatles
"dont let me down" (b-side i want to cover) and freddie
king's 1971 "goin down" (which I HAVE covered!) on Sirius....one
other quick note; when Roky Erikson plays ONCE,
White Mistery is a must-see! when Claire
Czerwonka (spelling) from Chicago stayed at Groupie Towers
II, she told me about this band back in '14 and all them ladies
saw Gizmos chicago '14. basically Jack White fronts band but looks
like Posion Ivy; her ginger "brother" (I demand a DNA
test!) drums thus giving gender swap to Meg Smith (Patti's daughter-in-law);
me to Claire, like she was my punk-rock daughter: "but claire
there's already the white stripes so...." ditto with a Cramps-sounding
band but since they're almost as dead as the Ramones, the music,
like the blues, must continue. Details of cantab gig with
Thee Fightin' Fish tomorrow since that gig is tonight.....maybe
I WONT be doin so much music and can enjoy a nice irish bar with
the Ulster maxwell descended Miss Lyn"..... Friday,

day of Thor 2 aug 18 EXACTLY four years til i
get even better social security! Til then, Andy Excuse
has been sendin' Mj Quirk All Kindsa Gigs, All Kindsa Gigs! the
latest, club bohemia, he had asked Ski Bunny to play, so a Bob Colby
band if i ever saw one! bassist has a persona name British jackie;
imagine an x-rated love child of Austin Powers and Absolutely Fabulous!
drummer is solid in a scott asheton kinda way but fucken GUITAR
GODDESS TRACY CHEVROLET!!!! fuzztone, wah wah ,sounds
like the guitars on black oak's RAUNCH AND ROLL album especially
"Hot Rod" plus some funk too (Chicken Slacks were playing
ohio players "fire" when i went upstairs....I should really
hang out more there!). (even tho i dance like a white man, i still
like dancing!). So yes tracy rocked, let me borrow her amp and chord
and I forgot what colour John Keegan's Strat was!
(black like clapton's Blackie; senior fucken rocknroll moment! "is
this the right guitar? did i pick up somebody else's case?").
has video of CHUCK BERRY "it wasnt me"
and JIMI's "crosstown traffic" PLUS we attempt Heart's
"barracuda",a sarah billingsley request
but we DO need Jody Moore! kevin linehan tried
using new headpiece to sing monkees "circle sky" but we
went old school with mike stand and Joe Quinn did a couple
Carl Biancucci bass runs (3 years as a band, going out
on limbs more), lotsa double guitar with me and Mike Quirk (velvet's
"oh sweet nuthin'") almost sounding like 1998 kenne highlanad
clan, different rhythm section. ramones "i just want to have
something to do" with me quoting "i got a line on you
babe" and going into rant of Randy California shoulda played
on the ramones albums. SPIRIT!!!!!!! Thee Fightin' Fish
gives Bob Roos a chance to stretch out; lotsa Jeff
Beck fills as Andy Excuse sings, plays rhythm,
solid rhythm section too (wait'l i get a hold of 'em.......16 minutes
of "spoonful"!!!!!).....in guitar, subdued moments,I noted
Bob played like Paul Kosoff of FREE and he DID admit (micky bliss,
esquire as lawyer, so this is NOT libel!), Sir David Minehan thought
Bob Roos played like Paul Kosoff. records collectors from OZ to
Flensburg GEEKED out over "Magic Potion" by THE OPEN MIND.
a quick google,UK psych 1969,"draped Snoopy bust" (I usedta
collect coins,then went to records just like "cowboys to girls")..."sounding
very Plan Nine ISH"; that again Bob Roos guitar playing; maybe
we'll team up on some page/Beck yardbirds sometyme....Andy also
introduced billy childish "i'm a lie detector"; two HOPELESSLY
OBSCURE covers i didnt know? Next, i'll get lost going onstage through
the kitchen! a great rockin' night, like the Beach Boys (to whom
i am kin) let's "do it again"!".....
