Have A Great Halloween...And, WEREWOLVES OF LONDON

Photo by Doggyfoot.com cc
'Happy Halloween'.When I think of Halloween....I think of WARREN ZEVON's hit song, WEREWOLVES OF LONDON...you?
Well, of course you do...What a silly question..pardon me..WEREWOLVES OF LONDON just means Halloween for all of us, that's all.
So, I looked up WARREN ZEVON to find out more...It being Halloween today and all, and here's what I found...
Warren Zevon was born in 1947 and died in 2003...Bummer, I'd love to hear more of his songs right now.
His songs were always full of my kind of humor and satire...they always gave me a big smile, and, I could listen to them over and over again. never tiring of them.
My Steve performed WEREWOLVES OF LONDON, by ZEVON, way back in 2005 while he was  in AL EARICK's BAND. I remember, he was at  GOLDEN WEST in Tacoma 'bout this time of the year. Members of that band were AL EARICK/guitar/vocals, SHERYL CLARK/sax, KEVIN CHRISTENSEN was drums at that time, even though DON BENSON was on drums too while BARTLETT was in the band. AND, the vocalist for 'werewolves' was a fine guitarist/harpman named 'SKY'. Forgive me 'Sky' for not remembering your full name. but, you did a fine job. [Jan...Smile and Wave]. NOTE: JON BARONI/keys/harp/vocal was also in this band for a short while. 
Jan and Steve

Found 'WEREWOLVES OF LONDON' by Warren Zevon on YOUTUBE.  Enjoy...  

Remember, 'You're An Original, Cannot Be Replaced'

I just listened again to KATY PERRY's song...'FIREWORK'. Sung by KATY PERRY and an very talented JODI DiPIAZZA . The song was so touching...it moved me to tears.
Please watch the video I posted it below. I found it on YOUTUBE, it's a duet sung by Katy Perry and young Jodi DiPiazza. Jodi was diagnosed as autistic at the age of two, with not much hope given to both of her parents, that she'd ever talk or even understand...but, she has surprised everyone.... Never give up on yourself, says I. [Jan]
I remember these lyrics in Katy Perry's song, 'FIREWORK'...'You don't have to feel like a wasted space, You're an original, cannot be replaced'
This reminded me when I was also given NO hope in 1999, I was diagnosed with M.S., and it  was recommended by my doctors to have a spinal fusion...AND, something went very. very wrong, during surgery leaving me a paraplegic, unable to walk or move my left side. All the doctors would say was...' 'Whoops... and, put me in a nursing home.' They said later, when I walked into their office, 'I was a wonder'...'they did not think I'd ever move my arms and legs again'.
But wait...., here come's the best part, the very handsome HERO of this story...none other than our awesome leader of BARTLETT ON BASS....Steve BARTLETT ON BASS, himself, yeah!...and, I was saved from the dreaded nursing home by BARTLETT ON BASS.
I talked everyone at the hospital, into letting me go to rehab instead of a nursing home, and giving me at least a chance to learn to walk again. Steve came everyday, and helped me walk...and, we were NOT married at the time, and, he did NOT have to....he just did it out of the kindness of his heart....'WOW..What a special guy', says I...'O.K.,...I'll marry you.'...and, the rest is history.
Enjoy this amazing and touching video. Thanks, Jan

'Beauty For Ashes' CD By Brother Russ Bartlett, Now Available

BEAUTY FOR ASHES CD
Just read the news, RUSSELL BARTLETT, our Austin-based singer/song writer brother has an awesome new CD out. It's just been released this month...BEAUTY FOR ASHES' is now available on CDBaby. I just took a listen and really enjoyed all 10 new songs. Go HERE to listen for yourself. O.K? See if you agree with me.
Russ just finished a cool west coast tour in August with COLIN GILMORE, that was very rewarding for them both.
AND, Seattle based fans were treated to TWO area gigs...one in Seattle, at the CONOR BYNE PUB and one up north at the Bartlett family's hometown of Stanwood......at THE STANWOOD CAMANO FAIRGROUNDS.
Russell left the Seattle area in 1992 for Texas, and Texas has never been the same. BARTLETT's voice, humor and  country-Americana musical style just fit Texas perfectly. Listen to all five of his CD's on CDBaby and you will be delighted. Enjoy.
 Thanks, T. Jan

My Steve ran into drummer, STEPHEN HICKS, owner of HOBBY STREET STUDIOS this week. Hicks said 'MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals, former owner of LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTERs in McKenna, will be back in this area in a couple of weeks, comeing up from San Diego, California'...I'll keep everyone posted as new information surfaces. Perhaps, there will be some music at STEPHEN HICK's studio HOBBY STREET when Salinas is here...Hope so.

So, what's going on...he loves the people he's playing with. That's one thing...JERRY MILLER for one...he's a music troubadour and music legend. JERRY MILLER played in the band MOBY GRAPE and other groups way back in the '60's in San Francisco. Not only is Jerry's playing amazing and beautiful.... Jerry's been around and knows some of the really fine musicians, some true heros or music troubadours of this age. The ones that changed our history with their then [1960's] new ideas about social justice, freedom and equality. Steve and my hats are off to theses courageous men and women, the musicians of the '60's...and that means JERRY MILLER.
You can hear a real music troubadour and music hero JERRY MILLER every Friday night at THE STONEGATE in Tacoma, WA. That's at 5421 South Tacoma Way, phone 253/473-2255. With MILLER's back up by my Steve BARTLETT ON BASS and KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums at THE STONEGATE. What a honor that is. A fantastic night of music.
Now, that's not the only place to see or hear JERRY MILLER and his music friends, during the week. He plays also at UNCLE SAM's BAR AND GRILL on 16003 Pacific in Spanaway on Thursday nights. AND, other areas around Tacoma. Steve does not play with JERRY on Thursday....but, I'll post all BARTLETT's and JERRY's gigs here as they come in...OK?
Steve's rehearsing with Jerry and Kevin this Tuesday afternoon at Jerry's house. This Friday, Oct. 12th will be great and it all begins at 9 pm., gos 'til 1 am each Friday night. Come out for a special night of music, and hear a real music legend too....Cool.
And, Steve's playing with his music buddy, music instructor, MIKE KARNES each week. Today, Sunday, Oct. 7th, they'll get together for some fun at MUSIC 6000 in Olympia. Soon, they'll be playing in Olympia. Mike's taking care of that part of the gigs...he's got some places ready for their great sound, when Steve and Mike are ready.
