I guess it doesn't matter where I get the comments, it's nice to hear what others thought about what I've posted.<br /><br />To hear the Elevators you'll still have to seek them out as I won't be featuring any of their song versions in my Battle post though for the sake of reference I will include a link to their version of the song I'm using.<br /><br />Mental illness is something I'll probably not post about on my blog too much though it's also had a big impact with my family as I have a brother who has been institutionalized for over 35 years. It was a huge burden on my mother and remains a perplexing issue with me and my brothers and sisters. There are some similarities about my brother's story and Roky Erickson except the emerging back into a certain realm of integrating with functional life. I don't think we'll ever see this.<br /><br />Thanks for your part of the discussion. It's always good to hear from others about what I've and it doesn't matter where or when I hear. Thanks.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-30955575688553589152015-02-14T15:45:07.619-08:002015-02-14T15:45:07.619-08:00Collectors who frequent the record shows are often...Collectors who frequent the record shows are often on the hardcore search for special items. I've only gone to one record show, but I was mostly trying to gauge the value of my own collection. I was surprised by some of my findings.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-80625572955654582862015-02-14T14:31:54.983-08:002015-02-14T14:31:54.983-08:00I've had a hard time getting out and about lat...I've had a hard time getting out and about lately, and for that I apologize. I've read all your recent posts on my phone, but for some stupid reason the 'smart phone' won't let me comment on most blogs. Anyway...I'm sorry I missed commenting on your 'Review' post. that was a good one and the comments and your replies were even better. It seems most people have no idea what a review does for a piece of art. All that stuff about hurting someone's feeling. SHEESH! Oh, well I missed my chance to go off on that, so I won't say more HERE.<br /><br />I also read your post at TIO about the 13th Floor Elevators. I had never heard of them. I read some of the comments there also and had to chuckle at DL Hammons comment. I learned that lesson in my last BOTB when I was educated about Mr. Ry Cooder. Fame certainly does not = talent or even influence of a particular artform, for that matter.<br /><br />But, I still haven't gotten to a proper comment for this post. As usual, I really enjoyed it. You probably gave us more information about the 13th FE in you TIO<br /> post, but I like the 'human touch' that comes through when you tell us about YOU and the 13th FE.<br /><br />I was going to scurry over to YouTube and have a listen to some of their music, but decided I'm gonna wait and see what you post for your BOTB tomorrow, then I'll browse around and have a listen. This way I wont prejudice myself before you even sound the horn for the start up of your race.<br /><br />BTW - don't even get me started on mental illness and it's treatment in this country. I've had my family quite literally torn apart and driven straight to hell my the mental illness of one member and their treatment.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever been OBSESSED by any particular artist, but I do have some favorites. Some that speak to my heart and soul more than others. And then there are certain songs that take me immediately to the side of someone special in my life or a particular time.<br />farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-76776577102871064552015-02-14T13:57:10.215-08:002015-02-14T13:57:10.215-08:00In my record buying days there were definitely lot...In my record buying days there were definitely lots of records I searched high and low for. I remember specifically trying to find the 45 of 'Games People Play' by the Spinners a couple of years after it had come out and wasn't as popular. All I could find was 'Games People Play' by Joe South which was a completely different song. I finally got the 45 at a record show in the 80s in Boston, along w/ lots of other 45s from the 70s I'd coveted, like my very first favourite song, 'Little Willy' by The Sweet.

The music takes me back to a younger day so I might be biased. Though when I see the younger musicians who are still influenced by the Elevators' sound then I know it's not just me.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-39265788998459547792015-02-14T06:05:29.168-08:002015-02-14T06:05:29.168-08:00I searched them out and listened to a few tracks. ...I searched them out and listened to a few tracks. <br />It's pretty classic 60's stuff. It has the good guitar and the psychedelic swings. If I close my eyes I see colors swirling about.<br />I can't relate exactly because of my age but it is still enjoyable nonetheless.<br />I'm a big fan of Van Morrison, CCR and a few others of that era.<br /><a href="http://bushmansworld.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Bushman</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com" rel="nofollow">2015 A to Z Challenge Ambassador</a><br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/jwb81074" rel="nofollow">@jwb81074</a><br /><br /><br />Bushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578478269526006557noreply@blogger.com
