"That Guy"

James (Jamie) Remar is occasionally referred to as "that guy" because of his many TV and movie roles and familiar face to many. If you tune across the channels you are likely to run across one of his hundred or so character parts he has played over his several decade acting career.

If you watch "Dexter" (recommended) here is what he looks like.

Jamie loaned me his scooter when we were about 13 or 14. I think it was some kind of 100cc Honda. That new feeling of freedom and power as I sped through the back roads of Newton Center was incredible, and memorable. Since that day I have been addicted to motorcycles.

Melody Maker revisited

Here is an updated photo taken in exactly the same spot more than 30 years later. Notice how big the trees are. I even snapped this as a black car drove past. Perfect timing. PK

JAMES MONTGOMERY

Remember the Waban coffee house? Remember James Montgomery? He is coming to The Natick Center for the Arts. Go to TCAN for information.

"Blues journeymen usually miss out on the hosannas, but this perennial NE bandleader keeps on keeping on...can definitely make a room buzz." - The Village Voice
He’s the man -- the "John Mayall of New England" returns to TCAN. When bluesman James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home." Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority.

Chevy Van

I had this red Chevy G10 customized van from 1974 until 1980. It had Cragar SS wheels, an L4 engine (350 CID) Positraction rear end, had all kinds of suspension mods, and was fully outfitted inside with a red and black shag carpet, button-tuck black Naugahyde upholstery, fake wood paneling, captain's chairs (as was obligatory in the mid 70s) and numerous other niceties. I sold it when it started costing me $20 for a fillup. (posted by Bob Crowley)

Oh those daze

John Cate at Iron Horse June 14!

John Cate and the van Gogh Brothers, (maybe?) or as it is listed, the John Cate Band, will be playing at the Iron Horse Music Hall this Saturday June 14. It's an early show that starts about 6pm, so go get an early bird special and head on over to Northampton to see the show.

Here's the link where you can get tix.

Here's a song he may get asked to perform some day.

On the right, a prototype Naked Eye Roswellite Ribbon mic that was invented by Bob Crowley and Hugh Tripp, owners of Crowley and Tripp Microphones. This was the only one made with a blue grill and black body, and was presented to Darron Burke of Makeshift Studio for his contribution to the project.
