Every day IS a Saturday 6 Nov 20. AMAZING overdubs on my four songs
at Lowell Street (like 'em on facebook!) Studios.
Rachel Lee from The Psych-O-Daisies
came to visit, so she had some great quotes. Alex Gitlin
overdubs organ and piano "it sounds like he's playing "in-a-gadda-da-Vida";
read
my 2018 BGN review of mad painter where EVERY keyboard part
sounded like 1968! We also went on a zoom chat with Uriah heeps
"heads" from Brazil, Britain und Deutschland; even a bloke
who'd sang with Heep! Our John Keegan wore a BGN
mask and his sax playing was Roxy Music jamming on Funhouse
via Morphine! baritone AND tenor sax. Lt. larry Newman
USMC doing Ken Kaiser's job, producing and arranging.Captain
Easychords discussed two keyboard arrangements with Alex
Gitlin and fuggin' Music From Lowell Street, it was: "Richard
manuel plays "easy chords" on piano and Garth Hudson did
the complex parts"; my experiment worked!!! Pizza was DELIVERED
(a ritual!) and Gee Julie sang; a cross between
Chrissie Hynd-land (Scottish and Welsh descent!) and Clare Torry
whom sang on Pink Floyd's Broad Side of My Moon. NINE hours in studio...Tom
Hamilton IS doing
my Kenne Highland youtube channel (ten subscribers!); he also
loaded up Hopelessly Obscure radiobeat tapes and
live at mavericks 5 april 83 ("Kenne,you sound like Iggy";
Tom engineered my "lovin you has been my fiasco album). Lastly,
captain easychord ALSO did some Roxy Music meets
John cale piano and Rachel Lee's final/best comment since she was
on piano for "Not too shabby (at the abbey)": "Ken,
you've got another Be more Flamboyant here". hard to be humble
(Pie) when you know you're the best!".. Tuesday, November

"Monntag 9 nov 20. Asa Brebner I Am Not Gone tribute. "The
Roses I Never Bought You", Randy Black. Randy Black, Limbo
Race acoustic guitar and vocals. Linda Price, Children of Paradise,
superb backup vocals. Sir David Minehan,Neighbourhoods, electric
guitar. Randy does some Zimmerman "don't think twice"/"girl
from north country" finger-picking. When Linda harmonises,
early '60s folk duos like ian and Sylvia and/or Richard and mimi
Farina come to mind (Vanguard label, pre-beatles folk, in 1980s
was a dollar a dozen on Mass. Ave. Cambridge!). david minehan
goes further: think of those Byrds country-albums late '60s with
Gram parsons/Clarence White. As usual: GREAT SHIT! Buy a copy,
money goes to Asa;s young'uns and wait'll colume two! Larry Newman
is a mensch!"....

Monntag 9 nov 20, 0130. descending my garrett
stairs for the loo, I heard some AWESOME slide guitar; stood on
stairs shakin' lahk a dawg what's gotta go and vocal comes in:
Fanny "aint that peculiar"! (a 45 and cover
of marvin "born 2 april in DC" Gaye PLUS O. rex-quality
cassette taped for me by the late, grating Solomon Gruberger whom
also reviewed FANNY HILL in my fanzine ROCK ON;
ok, yeah, he turnt me onto Fanny). Well that was some damn good
bumper music! (probably the Toronto Coast to Coast guy whom is
a music GEEK!!!). "Now I lay me down to bed" as a discussion
of Alistair Crowley and "magick" begins".

day of Thor 12 Nov 20. Lt. Larry Newman, USMC and Mikki and the marines
was the first to mention of Boby Bear going to
"Spirit in the Sky" (he claimed his native/irish ancestry
was proven through DNA so I gotta go with 'im). Willie Loco chimed
in next (I was 'scollin' with my baby" (Silverhead's cell phone
commercial)). Did some musical research coz that IS his legacy.
I believe he and Erik Lindgren hailed from HARRISBURG Pennsylvania;
Boby was a raconteur and always had a classic rock
tale to post on my facebook page. What I remember most was 1974
or something and his teen band opened for Mott/Queen; hell, I even
the once run into him on the red line "Kenne I just got back
from London seeing Mott the Hoople!". If you google the Atlantics,
they, like the gizmos, were a spring '76 college punk band (IU versus
Tufts: Go Big Red!). 29-30 may, ramones/atlantics at Club; I was
guarding this country against Russian interference! or in marine
boot camp getting brainwashed at least. So maybe I met Boby fall
'85 and I recorded a Hopelessly Obscure e.p. on Arf Arf (they're
selling it for 20 per cent of what larry Newman's 1979 Michigan
punk 45 is going for!). Erik/Boby/Willie all lived
in apartment near Plough and Stars SO I recorded with Boby
AND Willie on "mass Ave"! Billy
Ruane (RIP) had me play a Willie heart/medical/unplugged
Middle east benefit so drunkenly I had Boby and solo Gizmo doin'
"Shoot that Gurl". Arf Arf has a lot of boby drumming
records; when I met Erik at cantone's '78, I guess Boby drumming
but I didn't talk then to him. Kirkland café he was in Desade
and I said "lets form Mott the Highland'; that Hoople tribute
NOT in this lifetime today. Last tyme I saw him play Mrs kenne Chambers
was doin' her soul thing at that club that was Elephant walk, Andy
Excuse on bass I remember. I probably got more tails but rest
Boby in peace and maybe YOU can tell Alvin Lee that ten
Years After tail!"

Freitag der 13th! November 2020. BEST day to feature those Gizmos-lovin'
Turks: Reptilians
from Andromeda! von Aybike/Marina Poison/der sanger:
You Didn't Think We Could Take It -volume two. Subsonics
Tribute album, 12 inch, as in vinyl (I'm pear-a-phrasing). coming
out in January!". They have been an inspiration to me recording
during lockdown that I began recording at Lowell Street labour Day
since at present am gigless. That's why we have the Andromeda shrine!
(post card from Istanbul, "evil eye" amulet and I pass
out Reptilian stickers like communion wafers!). Our sessions have
been blessed. On 11/11, "IndigoBravo promotions presents- Reptilians
From Andromeda (from Turkey) UK tour September 2022 (!)
(with sweetlee from Russia)'. and to say it in Turkish, Evet!!!!!!
(hint: progressive "I've seen all good people" UK prog-rock
band)"......

(This is not) Linda Garrow
|
saurday 14 Nov 20 is a mad painter practice after
work. But FRIDAY THE 13th BEFORE work, I was on Linda Garreau
Highland (distant cuzzin) page since she was 'friends"
with Robert E. Bear (she frequented tea Luxe) and
I was trying to google her deathdate/burial place etc. On her Ancestry.com
family tree I am "unkown spouse"...ask for Hopeless Obscurity and....BUT
what I was DROOLING over WAS: Discogs
> user > Lindagarrow . Lindagarrow-discogs . "for sale: 1,293".
I was married to those records! ("Kenne, I split the records in
half; you seem to have all the classic rock ones. God forbid you
should buy a record after 1975"..."reasons for divorce! Musical
Differences!". It, like grand Funk and free sing, is a "Heartbreaker"
to see her beloved John cale albums up for sale but, unlike the
Egyptian Pharoahs (OR sam the Sham!) you cant take it with you;
even after dying early August 2016, her cat 'didn't live out the
year"! (HEARTBROKEN). I was there when she bought a lot of the "product"
OR I gave her mine! and a lot of my vinyl is for set sale at under
$20! SO, since i'd like to see this all go to a good home..."Scott
T" "joined on 1 Oct 19" and his "seller rating" is 97.7 % and "buyer
rating" is 100%. The only "MyMistake" Linda made was marrying TWO
Aries (Marvin, born 2 april and DIANA!) so this feller seems like
he aint no shyster...so if you're a-hankerin' to fill up your kenne
collection, you can do this At HOME (OR trailer!) WITHOUT a-waitin'
for Mister haney's truck to pull up"...…
