He played for the Detroit Eagles and the Memphis Red Sox, both of which were teams in the American Negro League. Don't know what year(s) he played, but judging from his year of birth (1938) it was definitely after Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, but before the Negro leagues folded completely.

I honestly think the Mt. McKinnleys are such a bag 0'festering shit. They're nuthin more than a 15th grade Mudhoney. I was really appaled after people on 'ere said they were good. I couldn't believe IT! The What 4 are an awful noise too. God, I hate all these Post-Mummies bands. The Mummies were alright but they have a lot to answer for the fuck-up they have caused on this so called garage scene. The Loons are pretty good. I know their cover of 'Stumble And Fall' is pretty old, so they've changed a a fair bit since. Mike's vocals don't win me over. The b side is cool though. The LP though I'm sure will be brilliant from how Mike explained it to me earlier last year. What's really good and stands out is The Hairy Fairies LP 'Electric Fairytales'. I remember this band from the Misty Lane comps which they really shon through on. Typical snotty garage/r'n'b, but plaed a lot better than all the other wannabes. In '95 when The Nuthins toured the boot we played with them in their home, Rimini. They were great, but had totally changed style and were far more power-pop/Groovies style. Again, they were great. I didn't even realise they were still going, but yes they are, and have once again changed direction. This LP is not shit trash garage with baaad vocals like 99.999% of the 90s scene. Here the band play in a late 60s guitar solo dominated psych/rock style, with gorgeous harmonies and great songs. Fucking fantastic, but garagers will probably turn their noses up and call it hippy. Me I love it. I think I'll make one of those pots with the Mc Kinleys stuff if PJ doesn't want it. ****************************** If anyone is in search of a very, very good 90s psych LP I promise the 'Fairies LP will please yo' no end. contact :- <> for ordering details.

I agree with Glynis that the genius of the Mt. McKinleys has not been properly captured on vinyl. And I think that was the consensus (at least among those that commented) after their appearances at FuzzFest and Cave Stomp. I remember more than one comment about new appreciation for the records after seeing them live, or some such. They are one of those bands that are NOT to be missed live, but whose records do not pack the same whallup as their live show, and are therefore not for everyone.

I've never understood the appeal of Mudhoney (tho' some other garage fans I know love 'em for some reason), but the Mt. McKinleys blow me away every time. (I was deeply disappointed that they had to cancel last week's show with the Titanics and the Fleshtones.) I don't see how they'd sound like Mudhoney to someone, but it just goes to show how musical tastes influence perceptions. To a dyed in the wool opera buff, all rock'n'roll might be lumped together.

I've tried to compile my own list of FLA garage bands with the help of Jeff Lemlich's "Savage Lost," (which mostly focuses on the Miami area), comps and other resources. Every time I'm in Tampa I go to flea markets etc and very few record dealers seem to know anything about these bands. I was in Jacksonville, Fla over Christmas and asked the owner of Yesterday and Today records about some north Florida garage bands, since I heard he had a large singles collection. I mentioned the Monarchs (featured on Teenage Shutdown) and he told me a member of the Monarchs had contacted him just a few weeks prior looking for old copies of their singles (he long since lost any he had). Guess the word is getting around! Tom W.

Trailing far, far behind the King Of Men is Rufus R. "Freight Train" Jones who cut a 45 in the 1970's titled "Lilacs Today." Though the design of the label is nothing special (no photo of Rufus in action) the text is pretty notable as it reads, "Rufus R. Jones Wrestles With Lilacs Today," which is actually quite accurate! It's a pretty bad record.....after all, could you possibly imagine a *good* record called "Lilacs Today?" On another note, I finally made it to the fabled Opera House of South Pittsburgh, Tennessee to paw through their massive stock of used records. What a cool place. Walked out w/ the truck driving classic LP "Lookin' At The World Through A Windshield" by Del Reeves and Porter Wagoner's fantastic "Skid Row Joe" LP as well as a few dozen country 45's. Big thanks go out to Kip and David for clueing me in to the place to begin with!!

Thanks for pickin' that up for me, that completely slipped my mind. I bet there's a Nelson Briles record molding away in a trift store or two.

If anyone has any comments to make then by all means do as I've done and send them to . _____________________________________________________________ LIVE SHOWS Cavestomp `98 New York, Coney Island High Running Order: Mount MeKinleys / Plassticland / The Heodless Horsemen/The Fuzztones / TheChesterfield Kings with Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & The Raiders / Skky Saxon with the Mysterions IN A city where Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen albums enjoyed saturation airploy, New York's short-lived '60s garage rock renaissance, circa 1983-1986, was an oasis of reol rock'n'roll. The promoters of the second annual Cavestomp festivol - three nights of '60s vets ond '80s revivalists at an East Village nightclub - are banking on the nostalgia of those who remember garage rock's second coming. As the crowd gathers on the first night, it's clear there are plenty such survivors, though the openers, the little-known Mount McKinleys, fail to draw most of these sophisticated NYC patrons inside before 1 O pm. MC Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones introduces Plasticland, the first of the evening's many reunited '80s acts. Plasticland sound like Pink Floyd would if they had come from the beer capital of America. The singer has a bleached blond pageboy barnet and attempts to look like Screaming Lord Sutch. He actually looks more like Jimmy Savile. Afer a fiery set from re-formed nouveau beatsters The Headless Horsemen, we're treated to yet another reconstituted act, The Fuzztones, who in 1989 brushed with stardom via on album produced by Shel Talmy. (In Heat, on Beggars Banquet, living in o bargain bin near you.) They rehash their old set passably until their last number, when lead singer Rudi Protrudi announces o special guest. The newcomer takes the stage ond dives into the Count Five nugget Psychotic Reaction. It's, erm, Vinnie Mortell from post-garage noodlers Vanilla Fudge. Perhaps it's time for a trip to the bar... Next up are The Chesterfield Kings, one of the most successful post-'60s garage bands, performing the same excruciatingly loud set they've been doing for years. While their musicianship remains on the same primitive level as always, so does their sense of fun, which must be why they've lasted nearly 20 years. No doubt it appealed to Paul Revere & The Raiders singer Mark Lindsay, whom the group recently rescued from oldies hell. When the Kings' singer Greg Prevost brings on the frighteningly well-preserved Lindsay, a wall of screams rises from the women in the crowd, few of them old enough to remember when he was teen-mag dreamboat. Though the sinewy singer looks a bit more wholesome these days - more a gym teocher thon a groupie chaser - he still snarls like the best of them on his originals Louie, Go Home (recorded by The Who ond David Bowie) and Him Or Me, What's It Gonna-Be? For those garage perverts willing to stay until afer 3am, the sight of Sky Saxon backed by the Mysterians (sans Question Mark) is a dubious pleasure. The biggest surprise is that Saxon is clean-shaven, probably for the first time in 25 years. Reportedly, he showed up in a chest-length beard, but lopped it off at the behest of the promoter. Looking a bit tired ond occosionally disoriented, he performs Seeds favourites for a reverent crowd, while the Mysterians strain admirably to keep up with his vacillations. Finishing with o dragged-out Can't Seem To Make You Mine, Saxon calls Mark Lindsay on stage to join him for Satisfaction, then changes his mind and goes into Love Me Tender instead. The moment is surreal, to say the least. At 4am in front of a '90s audience of '80s fans of the '60s revival it's Cavestomp's version of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame jam. Except it's far more primitive, man.
