First up is one of a few songs I sent in for a Foghat audition,, Mid to late 80s, I think, I may have sent t to the wrong Foghats management<br />

Oh.. why did you not fight harder<br />
Atrocious law<br />
Is it really worth making me a terrorist criminal if I "offend" you?<br />
Is "imposing my opinion on you" REALLY worth 5 years in prison?<br />
And telling the truth about Fukushima, is the real target.<br />
Imposing my opinion? How about "being offended by the truth"?<br />
Isn't the fact that your country is responsible for the death of every man woman and child in the world. by hiding the truth about the radiation output, because of this new secrecy law, not FAR MORE OFFENSIVE???<br />
<br />
So FIGHT this ! Write every chance you have ,. to tell people about this disaster!!!<br />

On pickin a new "blues" name:</div>
<div class="p1">
By Ano Nymo Use…</div>
<div class="p1">
The Ho Use blues band had just finished playing… and...</div>
<div class="p1">
Ol Sam Hopkins were talking to one of the ol blooz cats at "Peppers" lounge, and he were asked "Hey what you callin youself when you play, boy?" </div>
<div class="p1">
"Why.. Samuel Hopkins… sir.."</div>
<div class="p1">
"Hey , that just aint no good, boy!. You got to have a bloooz name.. he breathed just mighty slowly..</div>
<div class="p1">
" Like T-Bone Walker.. or Howlin' Wolf. An look at ol Muddy here? He gestured over at the lone figure standing at the bar, who just turned and growled "please don't" after a disappointingly quiet gig..</div>
<div class="p1">
"think he wer *born* Muddy?</div>
<div class="p1">
(a loud yell from the other table shouted "hey his mama say he were from the day he popped outa her" folowed by peals of laughter). I mean, boy, would you go see any blues cat name "McKinley'.. Sam replied forcefully" I don't think sso, sir.. soud like a classical folk aertist to me. More peals of laughter from the table on the corner, to which Mussy turned around "You all fired" "Hey you just done finish firing us last week, and the week before" "Ok y'aint fired . Just no more cracks.. tonight anyways". Muddy turned back to scratchin his head while trying to figure out some contract or another. Word was Peppers was gonna hire him full-time and wanted something on paper..</div>
<div class="p1">
"hey I gotta catch te bus here" Sam pointed out hurriedly"</div>
<div class="p1">
" I just be in the middle of a real important thing for you playing and you just shootin off like lightnin' ? What you want?"</div>
<div class="p1">
"OK fine. Call me lightnin' then.. Still gotta go"</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
"Hey where that young cat you be talking to run off to all like that?"</div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">

The SF chronicle?! stated in 1908 "The woodsheds are still extremely hot, some 700 may not come out where the faggots are still flaming in what shall surely be remembered historically as the great San Francisco fire. "<br />
And in a wee little book I have.. I swear.. you can't make this stuff up.. and these guys didn't have to, it was "already" there i.e. "all ready" there for them!<br />

And what have these people done, to deserve this? If a Divine judgement indeed is coming, we are all going to be called to account, so it's noyt as if we're going to be spared. but why start out with the poorest people, instead of the monsters in some other parts of the world? I ask myself...<br />

Usually, nothing is really all good, or all evil.<br />
The wordlwide web, however, deserves a prize, though. It has managed to transcend averages, and become absolutely, totally, evil. PURE evil.<br />
Case in point. A typical scenario:<br />
While browsing one of these million and a half blogs operated by Google ,where people host commercial programs with "cracks" for free, so they can collect revenue from Google ads, I twice had to click off a "Free pxrn" popup, which was then followed by Russian bikini clad ""Get a Russian chick" ads, which are really operated by Russian mobsters who either ship away a female member of the mob to obtain American access to rob their "marks" blind, or just rip off the martks by mail for the access fees. Clicking past another "free" iPad ad (just send in 99 bucks to "register") was a news article about how the government secretly had installed "mini bombs" in everybody's food so they could knock you off from a distance. Followed by an ad for "Win friends! Influence people" Free witchcraft book shows you how! (free with every purchase of hypno-tapes)"<br />
And... more p*rn.. diguised as a "Become rich with this secret nobody tells you" ad.. Good thing I have my safety settings high on my browser.. I would hate to see if I had them off...<br />
Excuse me while i vomit..<br />
<br />
Part 2 later....<br />

I made the mistake of leaving a comment, and immediately got an abusive reply. Because this person can somehow delete their comments you only ever see them in your inbox. Finally i got a grnuinely threatening one, and *tried* to report to Google..<br />
<br />
Here is their reply...<br />

It does seem they only give a damn if you upload material they "don't agree" with, but it's perfectly OK to threaten anyone whatsoever as long as you delete your comments after. Having 20 different accounts is OK, apparently too, it seems, such as this person has, always opening a new one to continue the threats .. so if it is for the purposes of threatening others, they seem perfectly OK with multiple phony accounts. There is NO possible way that these names could EVER be confused wiyth "real" names</div>

Google, you are a sham.. and a bunch of hypocrites. Claiming to be against internet harrasment and doing NOTHING when a legitimate case appears</div>

OK first of all, a PC virus CANNOT infect a mac.. All the HTML mac viruses are accounted for , and protected against, in the latest Apple updates, so it is simply NOT true.<br />
But, worse than that, Google is responsible for the ads they support on Blogger, and if they KNOW it's a virus hazard, why give a *warning* that their own site (Blogger) is harboring it, instead of FIXING the problem?<br />
Lastly, this post may not even see the light of day for very long after it's been posted, at least on blogger, as they have been very active latelty in censoring *anything* critical of certain large corporations, certain areas of government, and You Tube comments and posts, and comments on blogs themselves. Since censored items do not leave any trace once removed, it's a very invisible assault on the population. Comments that mention Christianity are often censored as well.<br />

So bad in fact, that I went on a search or alternate audio players. Never found another cataloging app that didn't suck, but I DID discover a mind blowing player - Audirvana..

This was so that I can add a really good link for the real diehard Fleetwood Mac fans..<br />
here's a direct lift from my other blog:<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WSmW6Ebbntg/UJuOGUXiMcI/AAAAAAAADC8/UJcn1xH8ZYQ/s1600/Best+of+Fleetwood+Mac+1972+Reprise+cassette+liner+master.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WSmW6Ebbntg/UJuOGUXiMcI/AAAAAAAADC8/UJcn1xH8ZYQ/s320/Best+of+Fleetwood+Mac+1972+Reprise+cassette+liner+master.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
This is an astounding album.. and it is such a shame that it is the only one that has NEVER been reissued on CD. Nor have the two standout tracks on it, one of which is the studio rendition of "World In Harmony". Although other takes have since come out, this is by far the best one.. The second is "Purple Dancer".. and the back story is pretty much the same. Other takes have surfaced.. mostly live however.. but this is the superior one by far. Both of these tracks came out only on singles, until they appeared on this German compilation in 1972..</div>
<div class="p2">
I got lucky finding a pristine tape source.. <a href="http://www.multiupload.nl/O7YQCW03XT">Judge for yourself</a> if you don't think it is the under-appreciated gem that I think it is. As it is out of print in any format, and at this late stage, likely to remain that way, I don't expect many chances to hear it come up...</div>
<div class="p2">
===========================</div>
<br />
<br />
Furthermore, i am officially going to add music downloads also, soon.. (no commercially sensitive stuff, but rather, quality bootlegs, and choice unavailable rare tracks.. ) Now, officially, I am turning this into a "truth and music" blog.. meaning, you are just as likely to get a rock and roll post, "my music" post, a "collectors corner", or a "current events" post..<br />
As a musician myself., the last thing I want to do is cou off someone's meal ticket.. but, if you as a musicvian, see anything here that gets your goat, pleez don't do the official "complaint" BS, JUST ASK ME!!!!! , and I will accede to your request.. OK?<br />
There are people that do complaints for fun, though, which is why I have been hesitant to post before..<br />

Also, change of subject.. Watching the news today.. TONS of car accidents today from the first rain in half a year.. WOW!<br />
110 millimeters? WHOA.. no rain since May (our really cool lightning st0rm) and our rivers are all dried up.. considering we get ALL our power from Hydroelectric.. also a "strong" wind warning of 110 kph ( everywhere else they call it a hurricane ;-) we cal them "gales"<br />
<br />
That's life on the extreme west coast.. hyuk!<br />

So here's a repost of my repost ;-) with the new player...
Thought i'd just repost this as i've been ill and haven't been able to do much with this blog for a while..<br />
I'll be back folks!<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
In an attempt to throw my hat into the ring for a possibility of getting a gig with Foghat i made a couple demos.. sent them into what i thought was the only Foghat.. i had no idea that there was gonna be TWO Foghats after the dust settled (but not for long, either).. so i don't know if they even got this... But here they are.. I did post em much earlier, but they're remixed and cleaned up..keep in mind they're 20 years old , and on ferric tapes (it's all i had left)..
P.S. For best results have a good stiff drink and crank it LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
I've removed it for the moment because I just discovered that all my auddio is disabled and simply downloads all the audio to whoever opens the page. Not intended.

ALL the music posts are gone.. or more correctly, all my links with the google player are gone.. when checking my page to see what was up, i noticed that they had been erased from the HTML script.. Now who would go and do a thing like that?Doccus Rockus Maximushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768150430746877932.post-7590346667263727402012-10-12T17:55:00.000-07:002012-10-12T17:58:37.974-07:00Honky Tonk Popcorn!OK i spent several HOURS trying to find Bill Doggett Junior's post on YT where he replied to me on a comment.. I seem to have misplaced it, so if he sees this, I'm asking him here , now, if he minds I post this<br />

.. It's important because likely only diehard JB fans, or perhaps King records fans (i am a Freddy King diehard, which is where I learnt about Bill Doggett) would even know about this.... See, it may be seriously obscure, but it will show how "hip" this old cat was .. he weren't "old" , ever!<br />

If you never visited Audiocandy, it was a real cool site.. I got to share a website with Fleetwood Mac's Bob Welch, Jethro Tull and Blodwyn Pig's Mick Abrahams, Billy Sherwood (Yes, etc) and a whole lot of other HUGE profile artists.. I was very proud to have been allowed to associate with these artists, and the management of the site were even my biggest fans (some connections last till today, even)..<br />
However, the site, after well over a decade, bit the dust..<br />
A lot of these guys are gone now, too.. most notably Fleetwood Mac's Bob Welch (unfortunately, by suicide.. if you pray, please pray for his soul)..<br />
But..........<br />
Somehow, I got hooked up with what appears to be one of the most.. er.. "hip" (OK so I'm old) websites.. called "soundcloud" .. and at the very same time, I got access to the digital master tapes of "The Catch".. so, I put 2 and 2 together..<br />
I am carefully uploading only one tune per month.. but anyone can listen, and even download my 320 KB files..<br />
Check it out.. more and more name artists are joining every day...<br />

PS If you are a SERIOUS collector, especially regarding rare formats (in my case , cassettes) You OWE it to yourself to check out my <a href="http://cassettecoverartlib.blogspot.com/">CASSETTE COLLECTORS LIBRARY</a>.. just recently, I uploaded all the Steve Miller releases, as FIRST ISSUES (that is, from 1968) on cassette.. mint, too.... and of course, I have all the Capitol oval logo tapes , mint.. and more every day....Doccus Rockus Maximushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768150430746877932.post-46072102486234222182012-09-20T19:17:00.000-07:002012-09-20T19:19:45.995-07:00Our little town has the most progressive TV station in the world!!!No shit.. maybe it's a mistake.. which is why I haven't written them to say thank you.. but ONE DAY!!! after I wrote them saying I don't even have a TV anymore, and I would really like if they would do what other TV stations do, and rebroadcast selected TV shows on their website, they changed their website and all day have been airing their channel LIVE!!!!..<br />
Now, normally, they only run their news live, at 12, 5 and 10 PM.. but I opened up their site ands saw a newly arranged web page with a notice on top " only show live news at 5 and 10.. OK, but normally they have the news you can rerun.. but.. er.. nope.. instead, they were running the 630 news live, and now they're running wheel of fortune.. I don't like that show, but fact is it's LIVE.. and I am so interested to see how far it will go.. at 8 is the original Twilight Zone, then I think "The Supernatural"..<br />
But HERE'S the clincher.. There are NO other stations, worldwide , currently, that are airing all their TV programming live, on the internet.. and my lil' ole town is the very FIRST!!!!!!!<br />
Maybe it's because aint no fat cats own the station.. it's owned by it's employees..<br />
OK, i know in a small town, it is possible for a station to selectively broadcast to individual IP addresses, but I really don't think they have the tech to do this.. and it must be an incredible coincidence that the day after I ask them to air their TV programming on the internet, that they do so (unless John, my old ex's ex, who works there, recognized who I am, and felt generous)..<br />
I mean, wudda coincidence!!!<br />
<br />
But.. Right now.. WE WERE FIRST TO DO THIS.. EAT DIRT all you other Big City stations ;-) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Doccus Rockus Maximushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768150430746877932.post-21082854502987651932012-09-04T01:12:00.002-07:002012-11-11T19:40:42.302-08:00Listen here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Want to make a post on GOOGLE bragspot?<br />

But it's rare..It was a "World Beat Rock/Reggae/Folk" band in 1993, but for years the master tape of the sessions in the studio have been missing, and finally we found it, and a way to transfer the masters.. so here it is:... the artwork is also included in archive, but the art posted below is the right size for printing....<br />
Album download links below (Updated with a better hosing provider) :<br />
available in <a href="http://www.multiupload.nl/7IDOXDAF5A" target="_blank">LOSSLESS</a><br />
and <a href="http://www.multiupload.nl/OZAQXJAUXG" target="_blank">MP3</a><br />
It's a good listen, I think.. I'm happy with it, anyways..............<br />
<br />
(OK updated notes.. ) when I first met Chris, I was given a demo tape where Paul Horn and Miles Black were backing him up.. basically, he was looking for someone who could play both Paul's flute and Miles's piano, together.. Because I arpeggiate, even when soloing, I had a full sound, but every chance I got, I did Duane Eddy.. Perhaps you cxannot hear it so mich on theis track, but I also was entranced by the echo laden vocals of some obscure "New Age " tape, A female singer, which I tried to blend with Duale Eddy's low string funk..<br />
There's a hint of it in "Wishing Well"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
, but as I add other tracks from the (amazingly productive) 'Catch' studio sessions, you will hear much more..\</div>

When we first entered the studio, we had a pair of highly road-seasoned vets</div>

<br />
I saw a lot of firsthand films about just how nasty Katrina was, and despite the problems, there's a lot of folks alive now that would NOT be without those places of last resort.. so.. are the local authorities F***ing INSANE?..<br />
I do not get it....Doccus Rockus Maximushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768150430746877932.post-74339064619847660332012-08-26T20:12:00.000-07:002012-08-26T20:12:27.211-07:00Hi Y'all.. Anyone know something about hurricanes?Hi.. where I live we used to get winds of 80 to 120 Miles per hour, all the time through winter.. <br />
I can't tell you how many winteres the power was out for days and days.. we call them "High Gales"..but in the southern USA states, they call them "tropical storms, when they're 30 to 50 MPH, and "hurricanes when they're 80 MPH or higher (I'm not sure of the number).. is there a difference somehow in the storms? I know I saw clips of Katrina on video, and watching it pull roofs off at it's worst it was something fierce, but these were winds of 200 MPH.. At the worst with our high gales a bunch of houses get ruined, and all the trees are knocked over.. Is there a difference inb the way they blow, or something?..<br />
We used to LOVE tying ourselves to a tree, and watching the waves come over the seawall, when I lived in victoria..<br />
We have cold water though, not like the gulf..<br />
Any experts out there? what makes a 120 MPH hurricane so more destructive that 120 MPH "high gale"?<br />
<br />
Thanks y'all.. DocDoccus Rockus Maximushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946174462883827539noreply@blogger.com0
