Dienstag 1 october 2024. hadnt been to vera's for a spell for the people's karaoke 9-midnight. An escapee from Jimi Hendrix turns 80 asked me if i was into the Dead; "I saw the beard'...look like Jerry, smell like pigpen! turns out he had been at the 1369 BLUES JAM ('80s),knew Paul Rishell and covered "I'll love you more than you'll ever know" "from the FIRST BS&T album!"...Gud taste! Eddie B from da Sugar Shack had recently sold me 18 soul 45s for $25; $1.38 per, one being Clarence Carter's "Slip Away". once i jammed on this at a sunday afternoon '90s kirkland cafe blues jam, echoing the Stones version of da Temps "Just my imigantion"; vocally, trying to ape Clarence's vocal, it was Out or Heads-era Jagger mixed with the Gregg Allman version I haven't heard. And I didn't even get to marry Cherilyn Sarkasian!

day of thor 3 october 2024. 8 pm- midnight, at Vera's is high energy vintage exotic space/lounge night. Had a fake beer and discuss recent fire at store wid Wylie and Jess and former Mystery Train owner/ Blad Guys (on Dionysius!) Rixk wentworth remembered touring in '90s wid da Speed Devils and "do you know Judd?" (Williams); Judd on landline: "Billy (Borgioli) in hospital...you're from Brockport, right?" So, I guess Judd took Rich and band to House of Gutars and "I met those Chesterfield Kings guys and Armand Schoebrouk"...tales to tell his (Real) Kids!

day of WODIN! john lennon birthday 9 oct 2024. whilst recording wid mister peabody, schmel herbie hind went shopping at savers and gave me a 1974 album: k-tel dynamtie 20 explosive hits. pretty common AM radio drivel for then EXCEPT those Scotsmen Nazareth doin' "this flight tonight" off'n Joni Mitchell's Blue album (her maternal granny wuz James henderson born 13 nov 1849 bowden roxburgh scotland, thus Henderson tartan for her). Nancy Wilson of Heart ADMITTED she wuz influence by that downward "aint nothin' to do" e-chord seventh fret for "barracuda" BUT i cant resist, after watchin' Skip Gates the morn: DEAD PEOPLE FACTS! In a Heart bio the wilson sisters ma wuz a Dustin, direct descendant of Hannah Dustin, escaped Indian captive in 1600s, statue in haverhill Mass. Since "Gene Genie research on his back", Merle allin Sr. is ALSO a Hannah Dustin descendant. read Hannah Duston, wikipedia: also escape was a 14 year old boy Samuel Lennarson, whom my mother descends from. Thus, flash forward to 1976, if Hannah hadn't escaped with young Samuel, there'd be no Heart, no Gizmos and no GG Allin! other "cosmic coincidence" b/w "reincanration": I did play the Cit Chat Club (maybe dat da name) in Haverhill!
