W(TF) Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I still have some bicentennial stuff. I spent the summer in PA...ironic since I lived in Montreal and we had the Olympics that year. I broke my foot and was in a cast for those exact two weeks, got the cast off on my birthday. Musically, I remember hearing "Afternoon Delight" on the radio a lot. I was 11, what the hell did I know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 It was a KISS year - that year.True. At least for me it was. My first show-the Destroyer tour. It was all downhill after that for them in hindsight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Turner Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I had my 77 class reunion on Sat. nite. We got a hold of alot of musos from our year . . . Sorry but "the KISS year" got me . . . I called Juan Croucier (original Ratt bassist) and he showed up . . . Dang, playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned* . . . Juan had KISS in the Cellar to record at some point in time. I couldn't tell you when . . . when we we're in high school we covered BOC's Bucks Boogie . . . we were into Yes and Tull but Juan would say nobody wants to hear "Thick as a Brick" for a 1/2 hour . . . He was way into Kiss, I think he got some stage moves from Gene Simmons . . . o.k. o.k. boring I know . . . It's just that the weekends festivities coincided with another related area reunion, so it was nonstop . . . cowpunk pioneer Ryan Hedgecock showed (from Lone Justice, Maria McKee's partner) because his (and everybody elses in our hoods) guitar teachers Dennis and Greg Decastro we're there . . . my childhood best firend came from Denver, Dave Kerman (5 uu's, U Totem) . . . . . . I told Greg DeCastro about looking out at Catalina from Point Vicinte (sp) and realizing . . . Sky blue Sky . . . and that Greg had named his son Skye after his childhood best friend Sky(sp) . . . I gotta leave it there . . but these types of coincidences are life afirming, given the pasage of so many years and the relationships that shape us . . . When Greg and Dennis we're playing in the Davis's back patio for many of their old students, family and friends, I got a feeling of acient story tellers passing down the oral history to the next generation . . . now if I could have just stopped talking . . . gotta learn to get outta the way . . . O.K., now for something completely different . . . and humbling In 1977-78 and beyond I played keyboard in the DeFranco Family, I was 18 at the start . . . and now the coinky-dink . . . Jeff Tweedy says the song title, "Hearbeat, It's a Love Beat" in the sunken treasure DVD . . . dang, somebody on VC metion that it was on Sundance Channel, so I watch it on cable and freaked a little hearing that . . . I fianally bought the DVD a few weeks ago and realized Scott Mc. is in that scene as well . . . he said hello at Spaceland (Minus 5 gig), when he walked over to where I was at the bar, of course he doesn't know me from Adam, he was just being his friendly jovial self. I was clueless and metioned something about keyboard since he was at the board in shots from an Oregon Wilco show . . . "I always play guitar in the Minus 5" . . . I heard he was kind of an enciklepedia(sp) about music and recordings . . . man I could have been a real Spaceland Space Cadet and mentioned the D.F. . . . naaahhhh . . . *(bleached blonde bobbie blotzer didn't show . . . i think the HMD had a gig) p.s. I promise not to start a blog . . . cause it would suck . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I attribute the recent uptick of Bicentennial quarters appearing in my pocket change to broke people cannibalizing their coin collections. That's what I did with them and the 2 dollar bills back then - used them to buy baseball cards and Hot Rod magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Chuck - you're buddies with Ratt? I used to know all five members' names... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
