Montag 22 april 2024. a good night to stay inside and play vinyl index 45s. So let's look at that one dollar copy of "Betcha by golly wow" by the stylistics. release 17 feb 72, b-side "ebony eyes" ,both on their 6 nov 71 debut album (think I'd bought Funhouse da previous month). Around dis tyme I remember readin' a "Too Rolling Stoned" interview with future Sir Reginald KENNETH Dwight (Aries and flamboyant) expressing his RECORD COLLECTING geekdom on producer Thom bell's "Philadelphia freedom" soul, like dey usedta play at da Sugar Shack and/or yjr Other Side. Hey, I bought a Thom Bell 45 elton prolly dug and for a buck and a great record store in my 'hood,yo! "Happier'n 'n' a porpoise mouth"

day of Wodin 24 april 2024. had supper at vera's before Drag Bingo outside and did a interview with a Rochester NY fanzine about my Brockport NY daze pre-Gizmos for a Gizmo article. I DID write "pumpin to playboy"/"weer gonna rumble"/"dats cool (I respect U more") in Brockport during high school and NEVER thought they'd be covered by Cub Koda or on the Gulcher Gizmo nation record. The interviewer (SUNY Brockport 2020 versus Bob Richert of Gulcher Brockport '70) was a REAL record geek, even tellin' me whom da guys in Sneakers went onto! (heard a copy of their record in BGN groupie towers in early '77). His gurlfriend is from St Louis (Gruberger Brothers on Rerun records!) and iz a "21st century Gismos Fan" and "really wants to go to Brockport"; da Liverpool of da Gismos! Tours to my boyhood homes!To TRULY be like Beatle John,though, they need to "Gimme back my foreskin"!

day of Thor 25 April 2024. Gee Julie met me at Vera's that night, good Italian food and yacht rock played over da system. Besides us singin' along to Bread and Seals and Croft ("talkin' 'bout my generation"!) she always wuz singin' like a Byrd to the Doobie Brothers "takin' it to da streets" as sang by Captain Karaoke. BGN headline! Captain Easychord "knee is getting better...got a little too wild on "Hot Child in the city""....(Til Tuesday's karaoke). dis Nik Gilder hit recorded october 1977 like Ken Kaiser's "I love you Laurie" b/w "Joyrce"(sold more copies) and released 12 June 78 simultaneuously wid da Korps Hello World, but obviously sold more copies than "Mad at the World", to which I still remain (sic)......
