I've learned that a lot of the 9 to 5 posters are actually tripping the Bomp Fantastic on their office computers when they *should* be working. I'm certainly more in a "mood" to go in deep with this incredibly rich tapestry that is Rock at night, when the only sort-of instant replies posted are the Insomniacs, and everyone in UK/Europe. Where it's the next day....ick, time travel stories give me a headache..... - ----------------------------------- - ----Joey Reynolds lives---what? no > underwater surfers???--- See revised version of this post, where i reveal that curses!, i don't HAVE it. Joey Reynolds, definitely one of the greatest AM radio jocks ever (afternoons on WKBW 1520 in Western New York), impressed the hell out of me to this day by riding the Comet (beautiful old-fashioned wooden roller coaster at Crystal Beach) 87 times in a row. Legend has it he had to be carried off in a stretcher. Pure "carny"-style radio promotion. Love it! :) - ------------------------------------ is the (road) eggs in one basket the same as the all night > workers (syracuse party anthem so it's close enough---credited to mc cord > and baskin i think) Dunno. The label lists the band as the "Mellow Brick Road" and it's on the old UA orange label. They shortened it to the "Road", covered the Zombies "She's Not There" and banged out a few singles and an album on Kama Sutra before returning to the local circuit, disintegrating into the Jerry Hudson Group, named of course after the lead singer. No one much cared about them. The "Eggs" single is their *moment*, tho. Nice record. - ------------------------------------ - ---no arlester christian??? You know....Dyke and the Blazers is in that same situation as the WildWeeds and so on. Why is there a Buffalo connection in people's minds? Correct me if i'm wrong, but here's the history in a nutshell. "Carl LaRue and His Crew" cut one single on KKC: "Please Don't Drive Me Away"/"Monkey Hips and Oyster Stew". The band: CL on piano, Maurice Jones on trumpet, Alvester Jacobs on guitar, "Dyke" Arlester Christian on bass and vocals, Willie Earl on drums. All of whom are back living in Buffalo now btw, those who are still alive, that is. Anyway, Dyke WAS born in Buffalo in 1943, I assume the rest of the band are natives too. This band became the Blazers, renowned as the O'Jays backing band for a spell (PHILLY). The O'Jays left them stranded in PHOENIX (which is where i always THOUGHT they originated until i learned better), so they became their own entity. The first Dyke single was ON a Phoenix label (right?): ArtCo 101 in 1966: "Funky Broadway" (referencing a street in New York City? Hmm. There's a "Broadway" in Buffalo, and probably Phoenix, as it's a common street name. Oh, and it's the first time the word "Funky" was used on a record, by the way). Anyhoo: THEN the subsequent stuff was leased to a LOS ANGELES label, Original Sound! Tho who knows: Artco? Art Laboe? Maybe both owned by Art? Then didn't the Blazers basically become the nucleus of the "Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band"?? Talk about all over the place!~ Phew. What started all this? Oh yeah....i think the point was there's enough good stuff by Dyke to fill an entire cd (there IS one on Kent via Ace, UK) and it's essential if you even BARELY like soul and funk. Wilmer and the Dukes, on the other hand, are basically one fantastic single and a pair of fairly good lp cuts. Good "nuggets" fodder. - ----------------------------------------------- > what's going on in > Cheektawaga??? Hmm. I dunno, now i'm 3000 miles from there (it's a Buffalo suburb). They're probably still slanging those great "JaFaFa" hot dogs and it's a hotbed for cute Polish girls. Oh Hey!, i just remembered: here's ME with one (http://apollojams.com/ddphotos.html) chillin' close to the keg (of course!) while dj-ing at a backyard party. Damn. Roberta Marie. Now a school teacher in Los Angeles and married. Be Big! Be a Builder!, - -g ps: Frank, see the REVISED version of that post yet?? I fleshed it out considerably. ============================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: apollojams > To: bomp@xnet2.com > Date: Saturday, February 19, 2000 6:16 AM > Subject: hey there frozen face! > > > > >Listees: > > > >It's a full moon. blah blah blah for endless text lines > >Luv ya FB (we're gonna go Canadian on the list purty soon, join me), > > > >-g > >http://apollojams.com > >------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000 00:09:14 -0800 From: "Joseph Beretta" Subject: Re: hey there frozen face! > ArtCo 101 in 1966: "Funky Broadway" (referencing > a street in New York City?

A blanket statement like this I couldn't help but take as a challenge... I found that Lou Donaldson's 1963 LP The Natural Soul included a track called "Funky Mama." Was that the first time?

Joey: Figures. The earliest Lou D. i own is 1967's "Alligator Boogaloo". I was hoping i had "Natural Soul" so i could play it! :) Oh, btw, it was a quote from either liner notes or an article from god-knows-where. Obviously, it's wrong, tho the statement exists now only as a chicken-scratch in the margins of my "Dyke and the Blazers" file. Do we EVER finally pin down the first usage of ANYthing in rock 'n' roll? OK.... CAVEMEN made everything up! :) Hopefully, there's no simians on the list, or else i'll have to retract that too..... And if FISH could type...... Did the amoebae rock? "God made me funky", - -Funky g ps: it's been said that only God could have written "Louie Louie", "Wild Thing" and "Sweet Jane". Richard Berry, Chip Taylor and Lou Reed are all frontin'! - ---------------------------------------- Joseph Beretta wrote: > > > ArtCo 101 in 1966: "Funky Broadway" (referencing > > a street in New York City?
