"Labour Day 2020. and i laboured! Tom Hamilton,
engineer, and I putting an O. rex cassette up on
my youtube channel (dang! workin' on music instead of lissenin'!).
So I listed the toons WHICH 75 % were on disc two of that 2010 double
O. Rex cd on Gulcher BUT unreleased:
"Hot Shot' (maybe there's a gizmos live version) and another
that at moment I forgot but the TRUE gem (and I can tell by KEN
KAISER's drumming versus me and the Grubergers) is "Pam
Green Pam Green"! I start out hollering like mach bell
saying "I get so ex....cited!"...and the guitar
(s) do that riff; let's wager i heard Live at the Rat 12 march 77,
met Pam Green and Wild Johnny Lewis of Tracks 2
april 77 (what a 21st birthday present...it put the "Brakes
On" ME!!!) so Kaiser Stadium April '77/ tom texted me side
two so THAt is tonght's listening, me trying to remember a dead
guy's song titles and who was on what coz UNLIKE me: they're ALL
fucken DEAD!!!!".....

"Til Tuesday 8 Nov 20. Buy the Asa Brebner tribute I
Am Not Gone! Track three is "Traveling Blind'
by Jon macey of Fox Pass and lead acoustic guitar
by Lieutenant Larry Newman, USMC and Nikkie and
the Corevettes (BOMP). NAME THAT RIFF: (i'LL go for 500, alex, in
that Mr. Guy suit!): "it dont come easy" by Ringo! macey
whispers the lyrics like a male Natalie Flanagan or maybe zimmerman's
third and fourth albums before he went electric (JUDAS!) and tried
to sound like Mott the Highland. my other further scrawled notes
(you ever try readin' my 'ritin'?) sez "folk-rock", "1965",
"12-string" and "PF Sloan b-side". also "it
aint me babe" and that Zimmerman toon about "Juarez mexico".
That's what i hear and how about a kenne tribute? I Am Not SANE!!!!!"......

"day of Wodin 9 sept 20. Tom Hamilton, Lowell
Street Studio, sent me side two of the 1976 O. rex cassette.
This had more unreleased material, namely MY songs! ("it's
a conspiracy"). I guess the real obscurity is "Soakin'
Wet"; out of tune Grand Funk "Heartbreaker" guitar
picking, then Solomon Gruberger slashes with some power chords (whole
riff A-B-C) and Jay Grubinger on pounding drums. With a long-ass
drawn out ending, we either a) invented grunge or b) stole from
Grand Funk's Live Album. (Solomon's songs sounded like Ramones "I
dont care" before THAT song recorded but he's really ripping
off Black Sabbath's "paranoid" doing a I-VI-VII riff).
All this O. rex/gruberger mish-e-gas WILL be on my Lowell Street
youtube channel!".....

day of Thor 10 sept 90. gee Julie and i had takeaway
and listened to a free album she found: Cugat's Golden Goodies
on mercury label ($20 on ebay!-ed). each song listed as dance: cha
cha (I think my parents had cha cha albums down south); rhumba,
tango, cha cha samba, bolero ("Beck's Bolero"?) and Bossa
Nova ("blame it on..."!) Julie LOVED this album as did
I AND....Paul from MOTO chimed in ; "Xavier Cugat discovered
CHARO"! So Mr Moto likes Werner Herzog/Charo and MOTO
opened up for Gizmos in Chicago....and, oh yeah...I
once joined MOTO onstage for GG Allin's "Bite
it you scum"....In OTHER worlds besides reading a FREE Miss
Lyn book on Stan Lee of Marvel Comix (a LOT of
Gruberger-esque Yiddish was in those comix! The Thing was a "Golem"!)
to which I tuned into WAJR, Morgantown West virginny and Westwood
One broadcast Thursday night NFL football, so things are back to
"normal".....at least in my haunted room!".....

"Saturday 12 Sept 20. last night listened again to a dollar
cd I picked up. Jimmy Dawkins with Gatemouth Brown
and Otis Rush. Tribute to Orange. Jimmy teams with
Clarence "gatemouth" Brown (whom i saw this millennium
at Johnny D's, Somerville, mass "Dead Boston Club")
from a 30 Nov 71 session; i was still strugglin' doin' the two
chord intro to "you really got me"! Otis Rush session
was 26 Nov 74; I was a "punk rock janitor" at my high
school so missed Robin Trower at Rochester NY (I am facebook friends
with his drummer whom debuted that gig; all I remember is Jailbait
janet went with her boyfriend (a distant cuzzin of mine: SMALL
town....)... and he impersonated Trower's "guitar face' (a
lot of scrunching goin' on). Irregardless,(ain't no such word
Kenne!-ed) this is a fine CHEAP blues album and excellent
sounding. Only other news is Mad Painter gets together after six
months to practice....more on that next week!"....
