THIS blog WILL COMMENT ON LIVE ROCK PERFORMANCE. THE FIRST HUNDRED POSTS ; MY HONEST OPINION AS LIVE ROCK CRITIC. I have written lately of my own Live Rock journey and how it did end up wrecked on the rocks again and again. Still it is an incredible improvement to have recovered from virtual paralysis a number of times and be able to write and compose and play instruments and most of all to have been able to dance on stage and perfrorm on Harmonica with LIVE ROCK BANDS.

JUNETEENTH
AGAINST A BACKGROUND OF BLACK SCHMALTZ, SWAYING, SCATTING AND GOSPELATEING . I LITERALLY ALMOST CANNOT STAND MOST OF IT.
"NEO YO" AND "EARTH WIND AND FIRE" WERE HYPED AND MAN OH MAN DID THEY SUCK OR WHAT. YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM IF YOU WANT TO ON LINE.
THE EWF FALSETTOS ARE VERY FAIRY.
WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING WAS THE INCREDIBLE BASS LINE IN LET'S GROOVE I KEPT SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER BASSIST AS I COULD SEE THE "POSEUR POSSIBLY" FRONT MAN BASSIST WAS NOT PERFORMING THAT BURPING FUNK BASS LINE. I FOUND HIM, EARTH'S BURPING FUNK BASS IN THE BACK. HEY MAN!
TALIBE TERQUALE CALLS HIMSELF TALIBE. THOUSANDS OF BLACK CULTURE ADVOCATES RESPONDED WHEN I TRASHED HIM MANY LONG YEARS AGO.
HE SUCKS LIKE "DRAKE" AND "THE WEEKEND" SUCK LIKE ANDY WILLIAMS OR PERRY COMO WHITE GUY SUCKED.
I HAVE PLAYED LIVE WITH VERY GOOD BLACK MUSICIANS, WHO ROCKED OR DID ORIGINAL OR DYNAMIC BLUES.
JOE FRIED EGG WHITE PERFORMED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
BELL BIV DEVOE WAS A BRIGHT RHYTHMIC DANCING SPOT IN THE GRAY. THEY HAD A REALLY ENERGETIC AND SPOT ON THE RHYTHM BLACK CHIC DANCING AND LOOKING FIT AND ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTUALLY ROCKING.
ALL THE BAND MEMBERS DANCED BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE BLACK WALTZ SCHMALTZED AND STUMBLED AND MARCHED LOOKING PURPOSFUL
THEY PERFORMED RAP RHYTHMS SO THAT EVEN I A ROCK BIGOT THOUGHT THE WERE VERY CATCHY AND VERY PERSUASIVE OF THE MOOD THEY WANTED TO CREATE.
I SUGGEST WATCHING BELL BIV DEVOE IN A VIDEO NOT OUT YET OF THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE "JUNETEENTH" .
LINDON "MR COOL" COLLARD
WHY WOULD I HAVE EARNED THAT NAME?
DESPERATE TO PRACTICE WITH WELL REHEARSED BANDS I ALWAYS HAD MY EQUIPMENT WITH ME READY TO GO AND I WOULD BE PRACTICED RIGHT UP USING CD's TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH ROCK, JAZZ, COUNTRY AND BLUES BANDS AND THEIR SUBVARIANT GENRES.
IF YOU WROTE A NEW SONG OR A NEW ALBUM I WOULD LIKELY BE ABLE TO ACCOMPANY YOU AND PERHAPS EVEN EXPAND YOUR SONG WITH FURTHER EXTEMPORIZATION AT ANY LOCATION WHERE LIVE MUSIC WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT EXCLUSION THROUGH CATEGORIZATION DISCRIMINATION.
MUSICIANS AND COMPOSERS LIKED THAT.
I WAS DEFAMED BECAUSE I REFUSED TO CONSIDER A MUSICIAN WHO RAN A BLUES COVER BAND TO BE A GREAT ARTIST. I THINK IN RETROSPECT THAT THE LOW GRADE COVER BANDS CLOGGED THE STAGES MAKING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP ORIGINAL MUSIC BANDS, THE ONLY REAL BANDS, EMPLOYED.
NEVERTHELESS I SAT IN WITH TONY'S BANDS A FEW TIMES. I JOINED HIM IN MY USUAL WRITING SESSIONS,TO PLAY THE NEW MUSIC OF SUE MEDLEY WHERE HE WAS A SIDEMAN, PERHAPS HIS MOST REAL AND VALUABLE ROLE AS A MUSICIAN. HE SAID THAT I HAD ORIGINATED MOST OF THE "RATCHES", THE SOARING ACCURATE EXPANSION OF THE SONG INTO AN EXPLOSIVE LEAD.

RESEARCH ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS LED TO "SCAPEGOATING", I WOULD CALL THAT "BLACKSHEEPING" OR "PAINT ME BLACKING".
MY MUSICAL
ARTISTIC
AND AUTHORSHIP
WORK
IS CONDEMNED
AND
FOUGHT AGAINST
AND I
AM PERSONALLY
CONDEMNED AS
INSANE
TO BE PERSISTING
IN
PROGRESSING THE
SAME WORK FOR
FIFTY
YEARS BECAUSE
MY
MOTHER INSTITUTED A
FAMILY WIDE
IGNORING
OF AND
CONDEMNING OF IT.
MY WIFE AND
BROTHER AND
MANY OTHERS
COOPERATED WITH
THAT AND
EXPERIENCED
SATISFACTION
AND JOY.
SOMEHOW IT
SPREAD
EVERYWHERE
INCLUDING TO
THE POLICE.
WAS IT
SUBLIMATION OR
GOLD STANDARD
DEFAMATION AND
CRIMINALIZATION
TAKEN DOWN TO THE POLICE
STATION BY SOME
ONE OR SOME
GROUP ?
THERE WAS
OBVIOUSLY A VERY
UPSET WOMAN
BLAMING HER
HUSBAND BECAUSE
HE WAS "SMILING"
AND SHE WAS
"GOING TO WIPE
THE SMILE OFF OF"
HIS FACE.
POLICE,
SHE WAS UPSET
BECAUSE SHE
WAS SPITEFUL,
VENGEFUL AND
DERANGED.
FAMILY SCAPEGOATING OF MYSELF AS A CHILD MOST DEFINITELY DID OCCUR AT THE HANDS OF MY INSANE MOTHER.
I WAS ALWAYS "GOING TO DO SOMETHING BAD" ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER'S FEARFUL CONFISCATORY PREDICTION WHICH NEVER WAS TRUE.
WHEN I WAS TO RECEIVE A LOT OF MONEY FROM MY PROTECTIVE GRANDFATHER'S TRUST TO ME MY AUTHORITARIAN MOTHER SEIZED IT. MOTHER WAS "SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT I WOULD DO IF I GOT THE MONEY" THAT SHE ALSO HID MY INHERITANCE FROM MY UNCLE ALBERT FROM ME." MY BROTHER ANDREW AGREED WITH HER AND SO DID MY DUMB DUMB WIFE.
ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES PRACTICED AGAINST SCAPEGOATS OR BLACK SHEEP IS TO DENIGRATE AND IGNORE THE WORTH OF THE TARGETED INDIVIDUAL.
MY WORK IS JUDGED TO BE WORTHLESS BY MY FAMILY AND MY WIFE AND ICBC LAWYERS CLAIMED I WAS WORTHLESS.
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS DISQUALIFICATION OF MYSELF AS A CREATIVE ARTIST, ARTISAN, WRITER, MUSICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN WAS IN THE WAY BETTY OR TRIXIE MY EX-WIFE REFERRED TO ALL OF MY ART, MUSIC AND BUSINESS CONTACTS
"CUT HIM OFF FROM HIS FRIENDS" SHE SAID, "LINDON NEEDS PEOPLE" SHE IS GASLIGHTING MY ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ACQUAINTANCES AND FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AS IF THAT WAS A WEAK OR MENTALLY DEFICIENT DEPENDENCY.

I FIXED MY BIG MUFF AND LESLIE IS BACK IN SERVICE. THIS WAS MY FIRST YOUTUBE POSTING USING THIS GUITAR:
THE LES PAUL GUITAR I AM PLAYING IS USED IN MANY OF MY SONGS LATELY.
I AM DEPENDENT ON MY BIG MUFF, NEED IT TO PERFORM MOST OF THE SONGS I AM CURRENTLY PRACTICING WITH LESLIE THE BLACK BEAUTY LES PAUL.
MY MUFF WAS BROKEN FOR TEN DAYS.
I hooked up a 9 V from 120 V adapter and that made the Big Muff howl.
I found a replacement 9 V battery connector IN A FIFTY YEAR OLD RADIO ALARM CLOCK and I scavenged it. ( The clock still works) I hooked up the wires inside the Muff to the connector and I had Leslie back. The Guitar has inspired Darling. Darling is a Black Girl who is the subject of a dozen songs. Darling Space Girl, Darling in 4X Double Vision, and Darling from the Ghetto.
I DID "BAD DREAMS" TWICE AND "SPACE 06" WHERE DARLING JOINS ME AT THE EDGE OF THE GALAXY FOREVER.
I AM SO RELIEVED. I ACTUALLY CANNOT MAKE TO MY CAR, SHELL SHOCK WILL CAUSE TONIC IMMOBILITY, SO I HAD TO FIND A SCAVENGE AROUND THE HOUSE.
There is a you tube post called "Dance of the Golden Bodied Witches" which is a Leslie Paul Black Beauty Extravaganza.
The video is filmed reflected entirely in the Black Window Glass with the Golden Bodied Witches reflected and I am reflected playing with Leslie.
I cannot find "Dance of the Golden Bodied Witches'', not even where you would expect the video to be with "Witches Chorale".
Postscript June 16 2022:
I DID HAVE A ONE HOUR MUSIC PRACTICE LAST NIGHT. THAT IS RUNNING TIME. I DID WARM UP GUITAR AND KEYBOARD TUNES AND SPACEY INTRO'S. I PERFORMED SEVEN SONGS EXACTLY AS WRITTEN WITH KEYBOARD, GUITAR, HARMONICA AND VOCALS ACCOMPANIED BY SEQUENCED TWIN KURZWEILS. IT IS EXHAUSTING TO PLAY AND SING FORCEFULLY AS ROCK MUSIC REQUIRES AND I WAS EXPERIENCING VIRTUAL PARALYSIS COMING ON AT THE END. I FELT WEAKNESS, MY NECK KINKED MY KNEES WOBBLED AND THERE WAS AN ALARMING LOW BACK RAW FEELING. I SLUNGED ABOUT AND KEPT ON MOVING WITHOUT STABILIZING WHEN I MOVED AND TURNED. IN THE MIDDLE, I HAD, TO SIT FOR A 22 MINUTE BREAK.

HEARD ABOUT ME
THIS IS A RECORDING FROM THE END OF MY "OUT AND ABOUT" PERIOD WHERE I SONY "HX PRO" TAPED ANY ORIGINAL LYRICS AND MUSIC THAT I HAD CONCEIVED. I SEQUENCED MY KURZWEIL K2000 V 1 TO PLAY THE ORIGINAL SYNTHESIZED SCORE AND I RECORDED THAT LIVE,WITH MY LIVE AMPLIFIED VOCAL AND HARMONICA PERFORMANCE WITH NO CUTS.
HAVE YOU HEARD ME, PERFORMING LIVE WITH A WELL REHEARSED BAND?
DID YOU HEAR ME PERFORM WITH MY FORTY FOUR HARMONICA, 14 SCALES X 3 TYPES OF TUNING, EACH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, FULL SET OF HARMONICAS?
THE EXTRA TWO HARMONICAS WERE AN F UNDER A AND AN A OVER F. THERE WERE ALSO A FEW ODD HARMONICAS, TINY SHARP ONES AND CUMBERSOME CHROMATICS.
THERE WERE POLICE OFFICERS IN VANCOUVER BC WHO HAD HEARD ME AND SEEN ME WHO "KNEW WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO" BY PERFORMING AND DID NOT THINK I WAS CRAZY.
THE SOOKE RCMP HAD NOT HEARD ME PERFORM THEY HAD HEARD MY WIFE'S EXPERT TESTIMONY THAT I WAS CRAZY, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE A ROCK STAR SHE SAID. THAT WAS ALL THE RCMP POLICE IN SOOKE BC HAD TO HAVE HEARD.
What is the Heard connotation? That is that what I was doing, particularly at the end of my "out and about period", was going around sitting in with any band I could sit in with anywhere, usually in Vancouver, but in London England once upon a time, which is what Johnny Depp did. I was not famous but I could fit in with any kind of band and play anything they wished to play.
The other relevant parallels between my musical adventures and Johnny Depp's is that he had some sort of music scene happening like my SPACE JAM which ran for many years. John Depp II went around writing lyrics and probably tunes as well like I did. Depp was able to cruise around Los Angeles and New York and London and I was unlawfully confined here at Otter Point House with Moron Police collaborating with my Moron Ex-Wife like a bunch of bullies that have stolen a kid's hat or shoes and fling them away depriving the person of their prized possession, in my case my possession was my way out of the Basement Workshop.
I TRIED REALLY HARD AND PRACTICED ANY TIME I COULD WITH A LIVE BAND OR ALL ALONE WITH CD'S. TO BE DEFAMED, OVERRULED, SIDELINED, TERRORIZED AND PARALYZED BY MY WIFE, MY FAMILY, THE POLICE, AND EVEN THE DOGCATCHERS ON VANCOUVER ISLAND NOT IN VANCOUVER IS TERRIBLE.
DESPERATE TO GET TO PLAY I COMPOSED MY OWN TUNES, I SEQUENCED MY KEYBOARD COMPOSITIONS AND I TAPED AND VIDEOTAPED AND PRACTICED.
