saturday 25 may 19. Sometime in New york City part one. Amtrak
ride down was excellent WPAQ on headphones in
MC/i-phone Five, a salute to Jimmy Rogers, singing
brakeman whom had died then, lotsa scratchy 78s. Bluegrass facts:
Jimmy Rogers and Carter Family kept Victor records going, much
as I "pioneered" Gulcher and Stanton Park and Jimmie
Rodgers singin', pickin', grinnin' with the Carter family...."dont
forget to scrape the shit right off your shoes!". Supper
was Brazil Grille 787 8th avenue (is this near "53rd and
3rd?"). excellent bossa-nova guitarist plus futbol on "Mean
Screen", candlelit tables, very romantic for when you say
"I'm in love with Ken highland and think he's beautiful"....addenum.
facebook friend WICKED into Brazil music
and also visits often: Jeff Magnum of the Dead
Boys! "Blame it on the bossa nova....1-2-3-4!

sunday 26 may 19. Sometime in NY city, part two. Otto's
Shrunken Head is a QUITE awesome lil bar and with Boston
bands GLiDER and Thighscrapers
hangin' Tuff of "53rd and third" I remembered saturday
26 march 77, CBGBs, Live at the rat presents:
Marc Thor/DMZ/Thundertrain/Third Rail/ Willie Loco,
as reviewed in O. rextasy (and Roller Babe)
as i recorded my first album. There is a Tiki motif and a Betty
Page-ish bartendress "Que Pasa NY?"! Thighscrapers
did a excellent "glam-punk" set culminating
in stooges "1970"; I was a-tellin' WMFO dj Brian
Young, also lead singer (kinda like me bein a Gizmo on
WIUS, Bloomington!) about all the glam-punk bands Solomon Gruberger
and I saw april '74, O. rex days...if i'd moved to Broooklyn,
history woulda changed and no Gizmos! GLiDER
live approach Afrika Korps live at Cantone's
pantheon (Gulcher cd!) There was also a metal band fronted by
Bella Valentina's doppelganger (she, RIP, was an Xene type voclaist
in Italy's own The Valentines); superb vocals in a maiden New
England type of way...Met the promoter and also a rock photographer
("I know many faces but few names"-Harold madison Jr,
Allston Mass 1981) and we "passed the audition". Are
we returning? OMERTA!"

"Til Tuesday 28 may 19. GLiDER practice;
hardest-working dudes in show business! I see them more than I
see my Real Wife! (the late, great Jen E. Talia, now with ANOTHER
name change! Jamie). so let me promote SCAT tv
and Heavy Leather Topless Party; like Laurel
and Highland, I say to Cal Cali "another fine mess you've
gotten us into!" Alice Highland was filmed and in heavy rotation
back in '90s; being married to Kenne Highland
AND watching him on "TV Eye" MAY have kilt Linda Garrreau
Highland II, clann Douglass. I also went the once to the studo
caught ska band Presure Cooker who were pretty damn good! (though
some Rudies arent like ska/reggae mon...it's "h'agony"
to listen to !). IF you dont want me join me, I'll be supping
at Bronwyn's (kinda like Bathing at Baxter's but more Teutonic),
coz invite says 830 pm for SCAT...see you then!".... So
watch us, Glider, on Heavy Leather Topless
Dance party THIS
wednesday June 12 - and you can go
here to get a link to stream the show!!
