Dienstag 17 sept 2024. playing some 15 for $25 r and b 45s from Eddie B whom spun at da Sugar Shack. "Great deal!" texts captain easychord (at union tavern friday 27 sept 2024). I had "100 pounds of clay" b/.w "Tower of strength" double A-side oldie; the Captain ALSO a record wonk texts: "silver spotlight series was united artists oldies re-issue label". "100 pounds of clay" is a "common " 1960 oldie, but even better was the 1961 "Tower of strength"! (Til now, HOPELESSLY OBSCURE to me!).BUT, "Good captain Clack" out-wonked me again: "I have "tower of strength on the burt bachard box set the look of love", a comp oi'm way tew pocky t'buy; ye kin learn more'n a wee bit frum clann Maxwell!

day of Wodin 18 sept 2024. after Ken and Gee Gee Julie sang along to GG allin's "you hate me and i hate you" and "bored to death" on youtube, i found a 2020 Somerville Grooves bag of 45s; musta been raidin' the caribean collection. Played my $20 copy of "Mona Lisa" by Lord cobra and the martiniques; captain easychord texts: "costa rican garage rock?" Nein! Lord Cobra wuz a big-ass legend in Panama as a calypso singer! I jammed along with "Mona Lisa" and could play "Hernando's Hideaway" from da pajama game. Dis IZ on a Panamanian label and discogs lists it as for sale $21 and chump change PLUS is a youtube but, like the Turtles , it's in my "hot little hands". My love of calypso musta came from my parents Harry belafonte records and circa "questions '67 and '68", believe I bought Ma the Harry Belafonte albums she lost during "D_I_V_O_R_C_E). either way, gotta check more Lord Cobra!

Bob Dylan at Wax Museum, ME, 1978

day of thor 19 sept. opening paper bag of records, i purchased Caribbean 45s from somerville grooves during 2020 lockdown. So, another winner is a ten dollar copy of "what is yours is yours" by the Society Playboys with Bert Innes. Lotsa double entendre lyrics on this Trinidad label pre-dating Los Gismos by decades! Society Playboys backed up lotsa calypso singers and Bert Innes worked with the Mighty Sparrow! Record wonks will love this'un: Geets Romo had a portland maine record shoppe and his customer wuz Robert Zimmerman. Chris Brood had to go to college class, so missed this encounter (y'all can ask Geets dis). DESPITE there being Kenne records in the shoppe (Geets dealt with solomon gruberger and roland kaiser's cuzzin) Zim bought, among others....THE MIGHTY SPARROW! dat versus Moin WOrld? der answer ist "Blowing mid der wind'! (Geets said: "I had just sold him a book of local poetry, which he is holding. He also bought a big pile of records including LPs by The Barbarians; Drifters; Mighty Sparrow, etc-ed)

like kenne highland's air force and mad painter on facebook, see captain easychord friday 27 sept union tavern and get well soon drummer Al Hendry!
