Hey it's only what? Thirty years later. Time to start again. I just got an old Teac 3340 S reel to reel on Ebay/the fun has begun. My heart and soul full of memories is boxed up in my Mom's room/ She'll be 90 in a few days.. Up the Hill Backwards...
{Eight Grueling Years of Full time stink. Wheelchairs. Diapers. Urine. Scars. Blood. Screams! Her colon dropping out. A witchy job!}
(and the ARCHIVING has begun. ) 500 to 1,000 cassettes worth of Tommy Rock completed songs and bits and pieces of/hundreds of reel to reels begginning with Riverside CA. from the fifties. Long Island, New York. 1960' / 70's Western Ave-Hollywood and Seal Beach in Orange County. a Stack of Vinyl. Stuff my brother did on MGM RECORDS AND BUDDAH RECORDS AND THE LIST GOES ON>( All kinds of Kim Fowley momentos as well) FILMS FILMS AND FILM CANS filled with Super Eights I made. Some still good and some messed up forever lost I'm sure.
And photos...oh I dread that! They've been rained on/leaked on/cat shit on and God knows what else. I'll straighen it out. It's a plan. It's a start. Just play it as it lays. Play it as it lays. and as Stevie Wonder once said: "Ya gots to work with what ya gots to work with..."
Update: July 28, 2007. My mother's ashes are still in the back of my car. I was pullin out some groceries the other day, grabbed the small white box, and threw it in the cart. Yeah, life keeps rollin along...
