Get Your Chicks Free?..Where Have ALL the Gigs Gone?...Sweat and Everything
image by DAN HILL/ see photo credits |
Let's see....where was i?...Oh yeah...sweat?....no,no.no....before that? ...'ah... Music?...yeah, music....cool....music!
'Ah...'ah'....clearing my throat.....[changing,...said with power, deeper and with dignity, you know, like a real news reporter]...Now, as for music.....SMILE, .....well, where the ?? you know is it? 'Inquisitive Minds Wanna Know' as they usta say in those really cool and weird tabloids, way back when.
I see that many musicians are being more creative, confused and even kinda angry at it all....the lack of gigs, clubs, wages, opportunities to perform. It's sure not the same as in the '70's. Steve always played 6 nights a week,had a great income, was kinda famous even and yes, 'Chicks for Free'. People stay home and party more now,watch T.V. instead of going out to clubs. Club owners are hurting and getting young musicians to perform for free....I understand...and why not? They have to survive/eat too.
At some clubs, Steve regularly performed at bands are being replaced by D.J.s strip shows and nudity....always a sure winner. Drugs are everywhere seems like too. It's very sad for us and we're safe and staying home away from it all.

Levitate.....by DR. HOOK....I Can Do It!...See...No Hands Mom
See, I can do it...what I tell ya? No hands....'huh'
I've always enjoyed this group....you?
Did you know who wrote lotsa their tunes?
Here's an old story of mine about DR. HOOK and SHEL SILVERSTEIN...
Last night,...the song.. 'Cover of the Rolling Stone' see link below. kept playing over and over in my head. Then, when I finally fell asleep, I started to dream about the song....So, thought I'd check it out, 'cause I always enjoyed DR. HOOK [ oh...check out music HERE, thanks YOUTUBE ] way back when. after I'd heard their song 'Silvia's Mother' fromOldies08070.
I found out that the Dr. Hook's hit 'Cover of the Rolling Stone' link below. was written by SHEL SILVERSTEIN, and HERE or HERE not by a member of the band. AND, Silverstein had written several of the band's other tunes. He was also, a country songwriter... But, I'd heard only his name before as a author of children's books selling over 20 million copies and translated into 30 languages. .
There was a lot more to him than a songwriter or children's book author. He had several adult interests as well, and was a cartoonist for PLAYBOY MAGAZINE. Had many interests in film and the theater. After his death in 1999, he was put in NASHVILLE SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME. He also, won a Grammy for 'A Boy Named Sue', by Johnny Cash, and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe for his song 'I'm Checking Out', from the film, 'Postcards From The Edge'. He didn't waste a minute in his 68 years of life, was so creative and productive, adding so much to all of the arts.... music, books, film and theater...thank you. Jan

Look..It's The Real Deal, Mom....We Made It Legal...YEA

OK...This is just for all those, you know, worried, troubled moms out there. 'We're legal, Mom, Really'...Just look. See, now, you can stop worrying...It's all OK.
--------------------
I was just thinking,......'Why not have some fantastic real live music at your next wedding?' You know, it's about time and live music just makes everything just more special, that's all AND probably more legal too. So, Mom's love 'em. WOW! Cool, everyone's happy.
Email us HERE...to add live music to your life today....and get hitched too [optional]. This is an unpaid advertisment from you-know who, me... Jan...SMILE and WAVE.
