Sue sed after she got my message she did a quick search on the BMI site and found they listed the Betty Jo Bangs Greg's friend mentioned as the author and Ward & Sears Music, inc as the publisher. (don't know if Ward & Sears refers to Montogomery & Roebuck, but maybe some of y'all collector types do...) anyhow, Sue, sed she had the 45 that Kent, her husband, lent Rick Miller "lo those many years ago" in her hands right then. here's what she said: >It's on Decca and is a "promotional copy, not for >sale." The song is on both sides. The title is "Daddy Was a Preacher But >Mama Was a Go-Go Girl," the authors are Jo Anna Neel-Bob Neel, the >performer is JoAnna Neel (no space between Jo & Anna this time) and it's >produced by Joe Johnson. The publisher is 4 Star Music Co. (BMI). anyhow, Sue went on to say that Kent recalled that Rick found a country music mag from that era that had the lyrics printed and it listed the Neels as the authors. she thought maybe Betty Jo Bangs and JoAnna Neel were one and the same since they both had that Jo thing goin' on. y'know, "Betty Jo Bangs" does sound and awful lot like a stage name, doncha think? anyhow, that's pretty much all i know about that... on the "are the kids all right" subject, i'd just like to chime in on Richard Brown's question: >From: Richard Brown >Subject: Re: Are the kids REALLY alright? > >as much as the kids suck these days, I understand why bands dont book >all ages shows. well, i think in a lot of cases, it's not up to the bands, but up to the club management. if they think they can fill the place and not have to worry about underage kids drinking then why bother having an all ages show? 'course some clubs never have all ages shows. just a thought -- i've never booked bands or worked in a club, so i'm sure somebody else might have a little more insight on this... adios, - -mary. +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ southern culture on the skids http://www.scots.com/ rumors@scots.com (not the mary in the band) --------------------------------------------------------------- chapel hill club schedules http://www.chapel-hill.nc.us/clubs +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

I'm a bartender (only 23 years old) and sometimes it frightens me to see how they take their music seriously. I always try to put music I like in my bar, but I must also please the customers. Drinking age here in Quebec is 18 so we often get 16-17 years old coming at the bar, and I just don't know why they do it, but as soon as they get in the bar and hear guitar they come up to me with their Rap tapes and say:man, you got to put this GOOD music. Of course, I refuse since I am the bartender, but they look at me as if they were gonna come back with a gun and shoot me for refusing. The other half of the kids are all into Doors and Yes and Genesis and shit like that (sorry if I offend people with that statement, but I've overdosed over those bands at 16 years old). Seems the only people who like the music I put on are over 25... I think it's a matter of really liking music, since the people who like gagare et al are people who really dig deep into music, while the others just listen to whatever the radio tells them is good. A funny thing I noticed is that I know all the bands they listen to (at least by name) while they look at me with a blank stare when I mention the bands I like. So what I must do is mix up good stuff I like with their music. Say I'll put on a Weezer album when the bar is full of kids and subtly mix it with Pixies (which most of them like) and then go deeper into garage(the Estrus cocktail companion and the 500 miles to glory compilation seem to go pretty smoothly by their ears ). A good quote I got the other day from a 30years old customer asking me for a supersuckers or teengenerate song is :they kids don't like it, it's too fast for them! Isn't that weird? they put so much shit on the radio nowadays that kids don't even like fast music anymore, while when I was a teen I wanted music to go faster all the time....Maybe it's got something to do with all the hormones they put in the meat nowadays...

I hope this isn't the beginning of another era where pablum rules the airwaves as in the 80's. That go-round caused me to start listening to classical music. We had just finished enjoying the 2nd British Invasion (Punk and New Wave) and then the big record companies filled the airwaves and stores with mega-crap. I'm 44 and I get to spend a several evenings a week driving with my 15 year-old son to his soccer, etc. an hour each way. We put on the radio and flip around the local rock stations and I don't have a problem listening to the more kick-ass stuff. What i find humorous is that I am allways making comments to him like - " They swiped that riff, so & so did that in '68." And he comes up with stuff like "These guys think they're the Doors, they're imitating the organ and vocals and the stupid singer acts like he's Jim Morrison". At least some these current acts (on Canadian radio) have some respectable influences. Unfortunately, my daughter listens to too much of that bland crap that permeates the music videos. Me, I'll take the Stooges, Eno, Jazz, Celtic, African, you name it. Have you any of you out there checked out John Zorn or Tuvan "throat singing"? Now THAT'S New Wave. Or then again, maybe it's some kinda punk. Regardless, as long as it's not that mindless, boring, commercial pap that some record execs try to inflict on the masses. regards, Mike Furnish. ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

Sean wrote: > I think it's the internet. I've been into the stuff for nearly 8 years, and I've still never spoken to another garage fan in real life. I'm surprised to hear this. Back in '84 or so when I discovered garage music after seeing The Mosquitos on Long Island (and meeting Blair) and then venturing into NYC to find a thriving garage scene, it was the group of people that were as important as the music. There were dozens of faces that I'd see every week or two at The Dive, Maxwell's, Tramps, Irving Plaza, 240 West, The Lone Star, Southern Funk Cafe, The Pyramid, The Strip, etc. and it was always great to hang out and shoot the breeze with these people. The funny thing was, we *never* talked about what we did away from the scene! 14 years later, I still occasionally see a bunch o' people from those days and I have no idea what they do for a living. We would just drink our beers and talk about the bands we were seeing (Mosquitos, Vipers, Tryfles, Cheepskates, Fuzztones, Chesterfield Kings, Lyres, Secret Service, Mod Fun, Raunch Hands, etc.) and any garage stuff we may have picked up lately. The Internet serves a similar purpose, but it's more fun to see the people face-to-face and hang with 'em.

These kids wore straight leg jeans and they were still dicks. There were very few kids who even knew what garage, punk, or REM was, (or heck even heavy metal or prog). I graduated high school in 1983 on the north shore of LI, and the same dicks were in my school too!! : ^ ) You did have to dig deep to find good music, which wasn't being played on the radio (WBAD) or in the big clubs (e.g., Hammerheads). Heck, I remember seeing the Dream Syndicate and REM at a roller rink in East Setauket and U2 in a Stony Brook U. gym. The people who were into punk in my school were viewed as either scary weirdos or drug addicts. Personally, I think MTV is the worst thing that ever happened to pop music in the U.S. It changed the whole focus and direction of music in the 80s, and not for the better, IMHO.

He's great on an instrumental called > Cotton Pickin'. Thanks for getting me to pull that LP out again. One of the most underrated LPs of its era, I think. I still see it in the bins occasionally for under five bucks, looking for a good home (for those interested in hunting one down, it's self-titled from 1984 on the Mamou label).
