sunday 17 march 19, saint patrick's day. i opted to go to brattle
theater, use my membership and catch the Thomas Crown Affair!
splendid movie, shots of Dirty old Boston (website) were superb,
Beacon Hill looks the same. Because of Michel leGrande salute, let's
notice "windmills of your mind" in the movie. and why am I in mad
Painter? answer from wikipedia, re "windmills of mind' ("twin cities
of the...."?) covered by "Vanilla Fudge on their album Rock and
Roll (1969); b-side of single release "Lord in the Country". I am
facebook friends with all four Vanilla Fudge members....now for
Mad Painter to do long drawn out covers like the Tetragammen" a
label deep purple was on in '68 or so.

"monday 18 march 19. WMFO, like 0600 or some ungodly hour, drinking
coffee "In my room" in my scifi marathon mug; I THINK it was Robin
lane's "when things go wrong",0600, coffee, tribute to Asa
Brebner, then a bunch of local power pop like muck
and the mires etc BUT liking something new that sounds
old was Brad Marino and a song about a gurlfriend
like a "broken record" and it even has the needle stuck and surface
noise! Need to investigate this dude!"

Til tuesday 19 march 19 0600 guzzling coffee in sci-fi marathon
mug and If Six was nine wmbr basically played an hour of Asa
Brebner "who died last week of a heart attack"....as it
happened i was RAVING about the songs played on my Facebook wall
but suffice to say his musical legacy shall live but like the ole
country toon "who's a-gonna fill their shoes" who WILL sing WHAT
at that Regent Thee-ate-er thang on JUne 9th 3PM?.....Asa was very
alive and me watching him live when i heard studio versions of "babes
in the bar" and "jack's on drugs"....GREAT music/sad loss and it
was all in my newsfeed, Asa was dead.".....

dick dale died saturday 16 march and andre
williams died saint patricks day. quick remembrance on
both: I had surfin USA beach boys (my cuzzins!) album and age 15,
1971 Carl Wilson was one of my favourite guitarists but facebook
friend Al Jardine even admitted they loved Dick Dale, so my favouite
instrumentals on said Wilson brothers ALBUM was "miserlou" and "let's
go trippin" (being 1971, I thought it was about Lucy in the sky
with diamonds!). after a 2002 (?) AA meeting i went to Middle eEast
with a deceased "Scorpio Queen" and who was waitin' in line but
Robert Plant! So now I have lived coz I can say ole Percy (in town
for gig) went to see Dick Dale. Surf in peace, bro "aint that bitchen
enuff"! as for Andre Williams, O. Rex interviewed Cub Koda in New
netherlands and at "0300 or nearer" he demonstrated to me Andre
Williams singing "Jailbait"; the next month I rang up Hound Dog
Taylor and two years later STOLE FROM LIL RICHARD about a gurl name
Janet! The Gruberger Brothers,Max Koda's son (25% of a minion) and
Andre Williams now performing "Jailbait"!
