Retro Music Review – 8/25/1985

I don’t have anything important to say or anything earth shattering to share.  On that note, you may chose to read no further or further read.  Stevie Ray Vaughn is an exciting guitarist and KZEW is featuring tracks from his recent album, Couldn’t Stand the Weather.  I wish I could play like him, blues infused, but I have no clue.  In fact, I don’t play at all, guitar that is.  In fairness, I can play a chord, or two.  DAG – that’s it.  But I don’t even have a guitar…well unless you count my 1976 air Gibson SG; on this instrument, I have no fear, and no peer.

Tonight at 9:00 on MTV, IRS’ the Cutting Edge will feature Dallas area bands including Brave Combo, a new age Polka band, I mean new wave Polka band or maybe Tex Mex Polkabilly or something or whatever, but I love them.  Saw them in Fayetteville at Jose’s.  I have no way of seeing this program because I don’t have a TV and don’t know anyone who does.  In fact, I don’t know anyone in this town – not a soul.  Don’t need no tube anyhow.  No time for it as this gradual school gig is about to begin.  NTSU.

 

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland

Denton Blues

Yet another day

To my dismay

109 above

Sunset of smoldering lava

The twilight ablaze

Looms in the west

It’s the sunbelt way

Here on Bonnie Brae

Slept well into the new day

Up for Jazz at 1 o’clock
