http://www.thecoverstoryalbumart.com/ For those that love album cover artwork, I’d like to recommend a new documentary entitled “The Cover Story.” Artists, photographers, models and musicians share some great stories behind the process of creating artwork for various album covers. There’s a lot of famous creative people in this documentary, and there’s also some [...] Last week, we’ve lost our friend Michelle Costa, who passed away on January 13th at the age of 47 years old. I met Michelle 10 years ago. She lived within a mile from my post office box in Santa Clara, CA for most of her entire life, but I didn’t make a [...] The year was 1990. It was a special private party hosted by John Goddard for friends and family of Village Music of Mill Valley, California. A couple of nights before this show, I picked up Richard Berry at the Amtrak station in San Jose. I took him over to visit Bob Sidebottom‘s Comic [...] Six years ago, I wrote about Robin Roberts – the first person to record Richard Berry‘s LOUIE LOUIE with the rock ‘n’ roll arrangement used by the Kingsmen, Revere & Raiders, the Kinks, Iggy Pop, and countless others… Robin died a terrible tragic death a few days before Christmas in 1967 in San Mateo [...] This week, I’m backlogged again with more things, and the LOUIE of the Week is late again… so it’s time for an oldie, but goodie… It’s a band that was loved by Richard Berry. It’s the Grateful Dead with Brent Mydland on vocals. Here’s a pirate clip on YouTube of the band performing [...] This week, the LOUIE LOUIE spotlight returns to Mike Wilhem and the Hired Guns, who graced this webpage with a version a year and a half ago. This particular version has a really cool video produced my new friend Edward Chatham, who shot this clip in Clear Lake, California, just north of San [...] Lately, I’ve been celebrating a little more than usual. For years, I’ve been pestering my pal Buddy Awreetus to get off his proverbial heinie and do some proper digital transfers of the barely-heard audio recordings of his old “Live Open Mike” shows that he hosted on KFJC radio way back in the early [...] Regular readers of this blog know the significance of KFJC Radio, as it was the location where a 63 hour marathon entitled “Maximum LOUIE LOUIE” took place in 1983, providing the radio airwaves with over 800 unique versions of the song, and what became a major turning point in the career of Richard [...] This week, we’re still thinking of our friend Kathi Kamen Goldmark, who left us too soon. On the WELL (an early online social network), Kathi wrote about bringing unlikely singers on stage to sing LOUIE LOUIE with the Rock Bottom Remainders… We’re a truly bad-to-mediocre band, but we know how to get [...] Last week, we lost another friend to cancer. Kathi Kamen Goldmark, the woman responsible for the creation of the band known as the Rock Bottom Remainders, left us on Thursday. It’s a shock that someone like Kathi would die. I had no idea she was even sick. Just a few weeks [...] |
