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.
There were paper mache' monsters in the windows at Burrvilla. Dragons.
MY HOUSE ON CRESCENT ISLAND HAD A NAME, " BURRVILLA".
What a cool name Laurel Canyon Canada would have had.
This is a picture of the Burr House on Crescent Island before I had it in the mid 1970`s.
When I had it it was still on Crescent Island with a nice 7 acre woodland grown up in front of it.
It was not nearly as nice as Laurel Canyon but the South FRASER RIVER was out front and you could be back in downtown Vancouver in twenty minutes or walk on the dikes and the sandbars all the way to Steveston but on a different tree covered sandbar with an old fish shack road on it.
I WAS THERE A LOT, RECOVERING FROM BEING VIRTUALLY PARALYZED. MUSICIANS WOULD DROP BY. SUNDAYS I WOULD ARRANGE TO HAVE ENOUGH MUSICIANS TO COME OUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO HOST THE SPACE JAM. MY HOUSE WAS GIVEN TO ANTIQUE DEALER AND FAKER LANG FOR ONE DOLLAR ENDING MYSELF AND ALL OF MY MUSICAL CONNECTIVITY IN LATE 1978.
