[bomp] Nancy Neon's Birthday Bash

[Nancyneon@xxxxxxx]

I just wanted to give a big thank you to Frank Rowe for  his  "Folky Frank" 
set which was witty and political aware, and the  Classic Ruins who sounded 
great especially with the three guitar attack of Rowe,  Crane, and Borgioli on 
"Rawhide" and "Geraldine" underscored by Bobby  Bare's power on the drums. The 
Radio Knives are a basic,no frills,three piece  that are TOTALLY PRIMAL! They 
drive you to dance. Another great band that defied  the crowd not to dance was 
The Prime Movers who blended their killer  originals with impeccably chosen 
covers like the Modern Lovers' "She  Cracked", Vertebrats' "Left In The Dark", 
"Girl Can't Help It",etc.. Lyres'  have burned The Primitives' "Every Minute Of 
Every Day" into my  brain...they rocked me so hard, I could have wrung out my 
sweat drenched clothes  on the KIrkland's sidewalk! . Of course, Lyres BURNED 
US UP AND DOWN  on  all the faves- "How Do You Know, "Don't Give It Up 
Now",ShePays The  Rent,(fast),"HelpYou Ann,"Soapy", and newer faves like Tony 
Jackon's "You're My  Number One and The Blizzards' "I'm Your Guy". The  very 
pleasant  surprise was the New Colony Six's "I Confess" with Jeff's voice sounding  
his soulful best. The Stoics' "Enough Of What I Need" continued the hypnotic  
vibe. Lyres are my fave combo and August 19's gig proved why. The rockers who  
filled the dance floor would agree, I believe. In closing, thanks to   Mickey 
Bliss without whom this would have never happened, the bands, Fish The  
Magish(who raised money for Lymphoma)all the people who came including Brett  
Milano, T. Max & the lovely Ms. Flange,MIss Lyn, Roy Rubenstein,  visiting from

MJ Quirk who brought out the Rickenbacker and Piggy  to sing The Beatles B'day 
Song for me.Lastbut not least,thanks to Arthur  Freedman who got Billy and I 
there as well as taping this great event.  If  I forgot anyone,please forgive 
me-oh yeah-Rachel Lee, Rona(great  dancer),Rachel's beautiful earring making 
friend, Joanie-Paul Murphy's cousin  and Joanie's brother,Janice(Danny's 
girl),and a cool guy from my job,I think  it's Mark! ,Tara McManus from the
