This week on CB's Song Stories - a song called "Push"
"If you haven’t got yer ticket get on the move
Dancing shoes and you're ready to groove
Come on down to the show tonight
If you’re sick and tired of the nine to five
Come on down to the show tonight"

Toronto band TULPA was such a trip. Here we are at The Diamond Club in Toronto about 1987. John is singing one of our best songs called "Wolves". It's a pity we never had a good studio recording of this one. I think the bill we were on was with Lorraine Segato. Many thanks to the New Music

It's a good time to drink in the summer vibes and June has been an incredible month!

'SMOKE A BIG FATTY'
New video from 'Hi Vibrations Vol 1 & 2'
youtu.be/IKN_5dpgPhE?...
‘Cranked loud on a good stereo, ‘Somebody Help Me Now’ will hit you hard, right in the solar plexus. And if the down and dirty bass and guitar don’t get you, then Perry White's baritone sax, which enters the fray at the 2 1/2 minute mark, most certainly will.’

P-Bass standing by for more joy. I've had this one since the year 2000. It's been one of my most trusted friends, keeping me grounded and connected to others through the fullness of the low end.
