"saturday 16 July 2022. mad Painter photo session
in Brighton; I was having '80s flashbacks coz i DID live there in
the '80s! Sadly, two days previous on bastille Day, learnt of passing
of Rich Coffee's "high school sweetie", Lynn Riechers;
Jerry Mcgeorge of Shadows of knight graduated Highland Indiana High
in '63 and Lynn wrote me in '70s she used to see him walking around;
both in this millenium DID become Facebook friends. 5 Oct 75 Lynn
DID introduce me to "my boyfriend"; that is Richard
F. Coffee and five months later we recorded first gizmos
e.p. and Lynn took cover photo! And THAT
is how i ended up in Boston! Another 1976 photo session was O. Rex
and that emded up in Rock Scene with malpractice
on opposite side (with my sixth cousins, the Allins). photo taken
at 29 avenue W in Brooklyn by Gruberger Brothers father, Oscar Gruberger.
born 15 May 1914, Stanislawy,Czestochowa,slaskie,Poland. His two
younger brothers Sigmund (born 1921 New York) and Rav Shraga Feivel
Gruberger born 20 August 1927 Brooklyn. died 16 Sept 2013 Safed,
Tzfat,North District, GIZ-rael.THAT was the day after rat beach
party number one, highlight MAYBE being me playing "Sister
ray' with THE COUNT. Now THAT is a mitzvah!"......

"saturday 16 July 2022. WHRB blues show before
I took train to photo session. "when my first wife left me'-
RL Burnside; did I see him open for Iggy on ;landdowne street '96
sittin' in chair? Lyrics
ARE on line and I always enjoyed this 1961 John Lee Hooker tune.
it's on youtube,
chords are on-line. 1961 is crucial coz "Blind Owl" Wilson
of canned heat graduated Arlington mass. High School (like the Frantics!),formed
canned Heat in '65 after meeting Bob "The Bear" Hite at
a RECORD STORE and then he died, eclipsed by Jimi and janis. Even
attended BU like Barry amnd the Remains AND had worse eyesight than
me, but played better guitar and DID record with Mr JL Hooker"..

release or my youtube channel, one. "The Family" I play
a "Hey Joe" riff and then hit a Grand Funk "into
the sun" nineth chord; "John the revelator" blooze
standard echoes Zep One and Beck's Truth, Schmel Herbie
Hind using all sorta items simulate slide guitar. "God

I do a very Hound Dog taylor playing "that's cool" on
steroids rhythm and (James) last; i took a riff from Grand Funk's
red album which I'm using for an HP Lovecraft poem (it's ok, we
all descend from Block Island, Rhode Island's Rathbun's whom DID
move to mercy Brown(also my cuzzin, that vampire) home of Exeter
RI. VERY San francisco, so tranceing, drummer Al Hendry's
daughter was nodding along in a Live at Monterey way; kinda like
Naomi Cohen (had to tell larry Newman on bass that

is how mindblowing ALL music must be! Now to schedule a recording
date with "Mr peeabody"....(insert photo of Peabody and

Sonntag 17 july 2022. 0500; bingwatched Scorpion,
an "A-Team" of math nerds. two jokes. They're swapping
out vehichles to get away from "bad guys" and it's a '70s
"Chevy van!". Their leader: "This van's so old i
feel like I should be crankin' out some Skynyrd!" Then bad
guys, in pursuit: "They're called Scorpions." other guy:
"The band?" bad guy one: "no, they're nerds".
Doing intense calculations IN THEIR BRAINS! Then on WHRB's
blues show, Chuck Berry's "deep Feeling",
a 6 march 57 Chess release, FLIP SIDE of "school days"
and thus, a b-side, "my favourite drug". ALSO a 1978 Etta
James
cover of Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed"; VERY soulful
vocal!"..

me-bass, schmel herbie hind-guitar, alex
gitlin-keyboards and vocals AND gee Julie
