H R Pufnstuf

March 11, 2007 by Chris

Boy do I miss this guy on TV!

We all, I hope, were exposed to this delightful kids show in the late 60’s & 70’s. I made sure that I got up in time to watch this show. The theme song reminds me of 59th St. Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy), but until today, I haven’t heard the tune. When playing this song, Feeling Groovy, I’ve tried to include some of the words from the theme song and people just jump in and sing along.

I’ve tried to look for it on the cartoon channels with no success.

My brother just called a minute ago and he remembers this show growing up and we chatted for a while on this subject. When we finished up with this topic he muttered, “you’ve got way too much time on your hands”.

Jimmy, played by Jack Wild, is the guy on this adventure that I always wanted to be. He was always having a blast with this Pufnstuf fellow. His best pal was a living flute called Freddie and Witchiepoo, which some of my buddies called a very old girlfriend of mine at the time, was just hilarious with all of her antics and her buddies. H R Pufnstuf, was the Mayor of this living Island that Jack washed up upon.

I hope that you enjoyed this blast from the past!

Keep on Jammin’

“We’ve just lost the nicest guy in rock & roll.” Boston

March 10, 2007 by Chris

“We’ve just lost the nicest guy in rock & roll.” This says it all.

On Friday March 9, 2007, in southern New Hampshire around 1:20 P.M., the world not only lost the nicest guy in R & R but the greatest “Arena Rock” vocalist ever in my eyes. Mr. Brad Delp sadly took his own life at his home. He was 55 years of age. I honestly wish I was there trying desperately to talk him out of it. This man’s vocals really helped me turn into a guitar player who was trying find a direction to go towards. He will truly be missed by millions of people.

The Boston Fan site is just full of memorials that really hit home.

These guys summed up to me what it is to be the average guy’s stadium-rockers. I had hoped to have seen the rock legions this summer when they went on tour, for the first time in a long time. Wow, what a blast we would of had.

Just let your imagination run totally wild for a second. Imagine playing this tune with the band live while being the first guitar player! I do this every time I’m driving alone on the highway. When this tune comes up, I wish I had # 11 on our volume control in the car!

Mr. Brad Delp, I hope that you have found your peace. May God have mercy on your soul and may your soul rest in peace.

Mia Rose

March 9, 2007 by Chris

I am not a big follower of the modern day pop singer but, this girl is someone to follow.

She is pretty and has a eerie and haunting alto voice while still obtaining a soaring soprano range that reminds me of Alanis. Mia Rose is the type of singer that you will remember where you were when you first heard her sing. I know, this sounds odd coming from me but, she really is!

On YouTube, she also plays an original piece of hers on her classical guitar. She seems quite relaxed while playing and her overall technique is not that bad either.

I hope that I can honestly say that I do in fact remember where I was when I first heard her voice.

Keep on Jammin’
