0800-1200 WJIB 740 Am classic country. "A Boy name Sue"- JR Cash, big summer '69 Rochester radio hit. a Buck Owens toon. Shirley I heard Dolly Parton duetting and it was "Holdin' On With Nothin'" with Porter Wagoneer; mah cuzzins next door usedta watch ole Porter's show. They's youtube of it too with Dolly's B-26 hairdo! (half of a B- Fiddy- Two). lastly from 1967, Charlie Walker with "don't Squeeze My Sharmon". Ernest Tubb done wrote the lyrics! Guy tries to dance with another gal's gal and y'all better hand him a can opener to open up a can of whup-ass! More news: Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown announced the passing of Rickie Lee Reynolds of Black Oak Arkansas; Ricky was a facebook friend and had ALL kindsa tales and vintage photos...Dino Records AND Frank Lima both told me of this BUT: bright side: I known Frank Lima since I only READ about Black Oak Arkansas (Lester Bangs rave review in Fusion and by God he was RIGHT!). And perhaps it was Rock On #5 I reviewed first Black Oak. BUT and Dino records will agree with this or eat a cantones pizza: at least JIMMMMM DANNNNNDDDYYY is Still Alive and Well!!! Channel smurfin' at 619 PM 1510 Am WMEX oldies: "summertime blues" - eddie Cochran and "for what it's worth'-Buffalo Springfield! Indoor fun and Fug the Sun, I'd rather listen to Grand Funk Live album "Into the sun", all 12 minutes of it (which DOES sound like KH's Air Force! Air Force sounds like Railroad...I like NOIZE!!!!)"......

Also in 02143 zip code was a FREE show at the Jungle! I walked
in as MC5's "lookin at you" played over PA then Stooges
"I got a right', "Six pack" by Black Flag, Iggy's
"five foot one", Dolls "Lookin for a kiss","Kick
out the jams", "I wanna be your dog" etc. 1973
me would have LOVED all this Stooges/MC5/Dolls! What Famine
opened. there was a guy on fuzzy acoustic lead guitar and a lady
playing electric fuzzy hollow body guitar. Their facebook says
"surf-punk"; I say My Own Worst Enemy meets Tyranosaurus
Rex (very marc Bolan leads and rhythms). The lady had a strong
Melissa Ethridge-y voice and they had good harmonies. There also
was an attempt at a ska rhythm. Next up was Eddie Emerson
whom I describe as Kobain country. That's Nirvana unplugged meets
Hank Williams III. Schmel herbie Hind walked in during "Age
of Paranoia" "on a lighter note', he said (per my Highland-glyphic
notes).My notes say there's my "reincarnation" D-drone riff,
a Lou reed vocal and Black Sabbath chords. Also a reference to
"artificial intelligence"; I like this guy! he was joined
by another fellow as they sat in chairs, acoustic and harp ala
Sonny terry/Brownie McGhee. I cannot say ENUFF about Captain
Easychord! I discovered him solo at a tavern
at the end of the world Natalie Flanagan open mike but
now he's got a "Powerhouse" band! Gee Julie
saw him at the Midway with the reverend Leon
Rich on bass (he'd played with Anderson Mar (RIP), Rochester
NY homegurl) and Matt Burns of V on drums. that
was 11-17-70, Sir Reginald Kenneth. Post-gig Monsieur DePres said
adding Schmel herbie Hind on guitar: "I
now have my Davey Johnstone". Influences; 1973 Elton (Piano
Player/Yellow Brick road NOT the Leon Russell-inspired songs that
Silver metre covered) (bouncy pop versus gloomy ballads, tho I
preferred early gloomy Elton micelf, agin). I also hear jaunty
mid-period kinks via Butterscott; Something Else/Village green
etc ESPECIALLY in a tune about Davis Square where el capitain
name checked local landmarks ala Willie loco on "Mass Ave.".
lastly, other ballads echo "Love of my life" by Queen,
tho Schmel/leon/Matt give it a heavy Queen meets Ziggy sound...ALL
so 1973! "Like a pop mad painter' says I! (They lean more
towards Uriah Purple, Also two great 1973 live albums and a Hammond
sound). Schmel also did some very melodic leads And BACKGROUND
VOCALS! (THOUGH) "I encourage Schmel to play like Ron Asheton
in happy the Clown. I departed before Johanna Tulloch whom was
dressed like the original album cover of man Whom Sold the World
(a favourite Bowie album of both Giz and Lunch!) so sadly I missed
captain and clan singing along with a Ziggy cover. DO like her
on facebook...I think it was "moonage daydream" and
scheisse, I missed it! or to quote ozzy on '74's Sabbath Bloody
Sabbath: "you missed it!""....
