Thanks Suzi !    Underwear isn't the only thing that creeps up on you.!

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Dave Clark Five was from London, Herman's Hermits from Manchester, The Turtles from LA and Lulu from Scotland.  Jack wins!

Rodney (Rod) Hayes

Jack --  Cavern Club.  Never heard of it.  The correct spelling is Beetle.  You know, hard shell insect.  Sam Kinison.  One of the most annoying guys in thw world.  Where is he now, or did he just keep getting bigger and bigger until he blew up.

Ed --  Thanks for letting me know I'm singularly intelligent.  All this time I thought I had zero intelligence.  One good thing though.  You'll never get my Grand Sons to agree with you.  They think I know everything and can do anything in the world.  Unfortunately they will grow up and find out the real truth.  It's great for now though.

Jerry --  I was just taking a guess.  I really didn't care where all those people were from.  But it's good to know.  And remember, Jack always thinks he wins.

If you like to study the MO of all these Evangelists, whoops, frauds, you should have been with me a few times over the years.  It's too long and complicated to go into, but trust me.  Go to the internet and look up Kenneth Copeland and Mike Murdock.  I can tell you some stories about these two guys that are off the chart.  Then there is my favorite.  The Angel Food Ministiries.  I can tell you some things about these people that only the FBI knows.  Check them out and get back to me.

Mike, next time I'm get to B/N, I want to go to the Mall with you!!!

A  Beetle is a hard shelled insect OR a Volkswagen.  As far as I know, neither played the Cavern Club.  The Beatles did.  And for what it's worth,  I also knew the amazing Lulu came from Scotland.

As  for Kinison, he is sleeping.  Wrecked his car years ago.

You probably already do know where the band Chicago comes from.   

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Jack,

While the answer is a BGO, the group really got going after them moved to LA.

Jack Habich

Jerry,

Please don’t give Rod too many clues (in case he doesn’t know).  Make him work for it.

Now, I don’t know if I can win over your Jimmy Page experience, but I do have a Chicago (the band) story.

My friend Ray grew up with some of the band members, and knew them all, especially Peter Cetera.  In 1969, shortly after moving to Chicago, I had a party and Ray brought over the new Chicago Transit Authority album, saying these were his buddies…I had never heard of them.

Late one Sunday morning in 1970, for some reason, Ray and I were on Rush Street at a place called Rush Over, drinking Bloody Marys.  I looked over across the room and a tall guy with long hair was waving and trying to get Ray’s attention.  It was Walter Parazeider.  Ray beckoned him over, and with him came Terry Kath and Robert Lamm, along with their drinks.  Ray introduced me and we did the obligatory soul shake and “what’s happening man?”  We talked and drank for about 20-30 minutes.

They had just packed the house at Soldier Field the night before, and here we were talking street talk.  A memorable experience for a 23 year old, recently from Bloomington.

Jack,

Chicago is one of the country's great music towns but San Francisco topped them all in the '60s.  From We5, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Santana, Country Joe and the Fish, Beau Brummels, Holly Penfield Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Journey, Quicksilver etc. it was a wonderful time for rock.

Had I known you better, having a great bongo player might have put us over the top.

Jack Habich

Jerry, I also played first seat French Horn in Jr. High, but I don't think that would have done it as far as getting us over the top with your band......the bongos for sure.

Ironically, the Ray I was talking about moved to San Francisco (Walnut Creek) for a while to get his Masters in Physics.  He took Dee and me to a place where Janis Joplin regularly had breakfast.  Kind of a wharf on water, rustic as I recall, and one of the best breakfasts ever.

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Jack,

I live just over the hill from Walnut Creek.  Was your breakfast spot in The City or Berkeley?

Jack Habich

Jerry, I'm thinking Berkeley but I'm not certain.  I've got an e-mail in to Ray (now in Boston) to see if he recalls.*

Scenic drive from Walnut Creek into the City, as Ray let us know 3 or 4 times.

* (Return e-mail said he was on vacation til 1-2, and I don't think I want to mess with him on vacation so the answer will have to wait).

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Jack,

I'm guessing Solomon Grundy's or His Lordships off the Berkeley Marina as your breakfast spot.  As far as Janis, while I seem to recall she lived in the City did she have Judy Davis as her voice coach the same as Grace Slick?  If so, Davis lived and taught in Oakland which might have been why Janis was over there.

Jack Habich

Jerrry, a new twist...he "believes", so I don't know if this is fact, but probably.  Do you know the place?

Hi Jack!
I believe it was the Cliff House in San Francisco by the ocean.

Soloman Grundy's sounds real familiar to me, though.  I also remember eating at Scoma's a couple of times, where the maitre d', a tough looking Italian guy*, said he fought Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles in the Cow Palace.

Jack Habich

And Rod, just today, your friends from Angel Food Ministries had to appear in court in Atlanta.

   Joe and Linda Wingo were scheduled to appear in federal court on Thursday after they were charged with siphoning millions of dollars from Angel Food Ministries to buy jewelry, athletic equipment, clothes and to make a down payment on a jet.

Milan Jackson

Happy Birthday Carol Trenary Logsdon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Know them all well.  Thought of those two but since you mentioned Berkeley I picked restaurants on the Marina.  Cliff House and Scoma's are well known San Francisco restaurants.  Cliff House is out near Ocean Beach and Scoma's is on a pier by Fisherman's Wharf.  Cliff House was more likely your breakfast point.  All would be a good place to sample breakfast Chardonnay.

Again the mid 60's in San Francisco were a great time for music and truckloads of flowers.  If you're ever out this way, stop by I have a set of bongos in our music room.

Michael (Mike) Franks

Milan, is the site under construction, or is it my computer?

Milan Jackson

I just got home from the museum and the site is working fine for me.

Jack Habich

Mike, it was "under construction" briefly for me as well...either last nite or today or both.

And Jerry, last time at Scoma's was late 1995.  Next time to San Francisco, I certainly won't pass up the chance to hit the bongos in your Music Room...Maybe a sampling of the local grapes, as well, as musicians are apt to do, and I"ll treat at Scomas or your choice afterwards.

Milan Jackson

Happy Birthday Terry Maxwell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day, Max :)

Happy Birthday Annie Shields Ventura !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!

How do I down load old pictures to the message forum?  And also put the names with the people?

Milan Jackson

When you open the response window, look in the upper left hand corner. You will see "Source". Just to the right of that button you will see what looks like a picture. If you scan over it with your cursor arrow, it will say "Image". Click on it and then hit browse. That will let you browse where you have your pictures saved on your hard drive. Click on the picture you want then you click on upload.. You can still type your message as always and it will come up with the picture. You can even go back after you have posted it and hit edit. Than you can add names or whatever. Be sure you always hit "Submit" at the bottom of the page.
