Track 1: Sex On The Beach

revealed

It´s spring break time and many parents, who fall in to the category of idiot, have flung their barely (if that) legal daughters southwards to The Hithers and Thithers of Here and Yon.  If they haven´t left yet, don´t forget to slip some pills, condoms, or both, into their luggage.  If they´ve already left, there´s always FedEx.

Yes, it´s a shitty terrible drink, but I always loved the name.  You can find out about the barkeep who invented it, Ted Pizo, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_on_the_Beach

 

Happy Saint Paddy´s Day

  “Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór” written by Turlough O´Carolan (1670-1738) Arrangement copyright 17 March, 2013 by James Hooker. 
¨I am fortunate to live in both County Tipperary Ireland and Mallorca Spain. My introduction to O´Carolan´s music came from drummer Pat McInerney. I learned a ton of O´Carolin´s pieces and proceeded, straight away , to butcher.

ALL his music survives in single note form only. No harmonic instruction for the listeners ear except for what the listener hears from the lead notes. Hence, the ¨hearing¨ by myself of, minors for majors – majors for minors – whatever. Forgive me Mr. T.

Happy Saint Paddys Day.

I figured I´d try the ¨Press This¨ on my own post to see if it would set up a chain reaction within my own blog and therefore, reverberate all over the world – i´d sell 7 billion copies overnite – I´d ABOLISH world poverty – I´d ABOLISH the Democrat AND Republican parties – I´d bring the troops home and display Hamid Karzai´s nutless ass on my office wall. Have I missed anything? If you think of something, let me know.

Oh! Did I mention BUY MY SHIT!  cdBaby  iTunes  Amazon

Never EVER give them EXACTLY what they want!

A couple of years back, a publisher/music supervisor called me up who desperately wanted a ¨retro 70´s-80´s¨ cop show´ish theme, ala Mike Post (The Rockford Files guy)  I had worked with Mike many times. In fact, he pinched the lead Moog line for the Rockford theme from me – he changed it just enough for my not taking him out back and shooting him.  So I knew what he wanted.  He listened and called me back and said it was TOO Mike Postish.

I had to mow lawns for 3 months to pay for the string players. Stab me in the liver.

I got the biggest kick out of this video. Eyes got a little moist too, for Pappa Willies gone now. And at the same time, he´ll live forever. I don´t recall him ever leaving the control room and actually playing the part for me, but I do recall him stomping out many times with a ¨move your narrow ass over and let me show you.¨

I´d stand there looking over his shoulder, soaking it up. Pappa was a genius.
