every day is a Saturday 24 april 21. Recording at Lowell
Street. First song: me on a Teisco guitar like 1973 (Japanese,
plays like a Strat, I had one: $35!), Larry Newman
on bass and Al Hendry on drums (Dreck/Blowfly and
Appice?) did "Evil" by Cactus in five takes; three cacti
are/were facebook friends. next up was some Lou Grass, Velvet's
"Pale Blue Eyes" done bluegrass style and I did some country
pickin' on a Japanese guitar that sounds like Buck owens Buckaroos!
More late '60s country-rock to follow! My first concert was byrds/JF
Murphy Free Flowing Salt October '71 SUNY Brockport,so I was happier'n
pig in shit that we sounded like Untitled Byrds album. Next up was
my new original for Armenian Remberance Day "Armenia My Love"
("Theme for an imaginary Movie"!). Newman/Hendry rhythm
section was flying Trans-Love Airways (imagine "Twin Cities
of the Mind" on acid) with larry Newman echoing Jack Casady,
Bless His Pointed lil Head. I did a rhythm guitar and then two leads
echoing Quicksilver, "Oh Sweet Mary" (Ken Houston Andrew
III?) and Thomas the Engineer said "Eric Burdon"; that's
his "LSD for breakfast"/Robin lane married a future member
of the Police/New Animals/Monterey era. HIGHLIGHT: Schmel
herbie Hind playing OUD! Dudes, psychedlic scales on an
Armenian folk instrument....a hookah smokin' caterpillar has given
me the call! FINALLY (and we were there noon- nine pm, which isn't
exactly "Midnight to Six' if you GET THE PICTURE), Rachel lee
from Psych-O-Daisies had brought her keyboards which Captain
Easy Chords used on "Insult to Injury" (listen
to Sir Lord Comic "Jack of My trade" on youtube mon!)
Al Hendry overdubbed drums also. I THINK that's what we did...I
almost have a double album and like Dad's second cuzzin whom coached
Michigan football: "a touchdown a minute;, I say "an e.p.
a month!" Go Mountaineers!"....
"addendum. also on "Armenia My Love" Al
Hendry plays a doumbek (spelling) an Armenian drum. All
us former stoners said "wow man....he's playin' the table
on "Black Mountain Side",man by Zeppelin...In 1977 Miss
Lyn DID still have her Ararat copy of first Zeppelin album (Cream's
Disraeli Gears also!)"....

Sonntag 25 April 21. 439 PM. (Ken Kaiser! I found 39!). from Joe
"The Mighty" Quinn, bass for Club Linehan-a-go-go:
"There must be a Vatican Sex Kittens renaissance
on SiriusXM Underground garage. Heard "she's
just not another girl" driving home from South Carolina (as
was I Friday 25 Apr 80). You were between "factory Girl"
and Wayne Fontana "game of love" (covered by the Arf Arf
Hopelessly Obscure!) -I was just passing the Petersburg Virginny
exit on 95 North" (stayed there that same Freitag 25 April
80 night I got my marine discharge; Miss lyn had an yankee ancestor
whom fought there; "I believe in reincarnation"!). "No
shoutout by Palmayra Del ran just song and band name"....Publicity
Hound, a subsidiary of Publicity Machine, has noted that she's played
"darling" before; a song written in the Boston groupie
living room where Snoopy the Cat died and Raggs the cat
now resides, formerly owned by "darlin'" Jan Collins.
whom "used to model with our friend kev before he made the
world gag" (photo of Jan,model, and GG Allin).
Subliminal messages from me in vehicles everywhere....'road baby
road!" (cuzzinz to Jim Morrison's mom THRICE, "will you
please turn the page"). In fact, in same BGN living room I
was praising Jim Morrison's poetry and Linda garreau (my cuzzin!)
told me; "kenne Jim Morrison was a drunken psyschotic!".
1990s answer: "so what am I?". 2021 answer: 'a sober one!""......

"day of THOR 29 April 2021. SOMETYME this week between 0100-0500
WRKO 680 AM, Coast to coast AM bumper music was
"I'm Crying' by the Animals. SUCH! a great song! I used to
cover it Thee Psych-O-daisies. Did a lil research
and since it wasn't THAt big a hit, Animals originals relegated
to b-side and Goffin-King et al. wrote "the hits". (who
needs wikiepedia! Solomon Gruberger told me this about 1974 in Brooklyn
NY and NOW I find Dad's Stillwell ancestor settled/buried near there!
1673-1973!). This 45 ("I'm Crying") released September
1964. here were the number one songs that month: "where did
our love go'-supremes; "house of rising sun"-animals and
"oh pretty woman"- roy orbison. No beatles! (that was
earlier in the year). And I was in the woods in northern Virginny
still fightin' the Civil War back when you could buy a house for
$1000!".....
