THE REAL NOO ZOO REVIEW

Rev. Walker T. &
TIM, THE Washboard Man
image courtesy of http://skypilotclub.com

judy and I set out early because we didn't know where anything was in cottage grove and wanted to be fashionably late.
judy's a cop so she didn't want to drink.
unlike the rest of us who would just get our names in the paper, she'd lose her retirement, but she's no wet blanket.
she was a good time anyway.
We got there early and hadn't eaten so we ordered little pizzas and listened to the guy who was playing the opening act.
some time later, Walker T. came in dressed in black.
Another guy was with him and pretty soon, the other guy, whose name is Tim, came over and sat with judy and me and we talked.
This was Walker T's back-up guy who played a washboard.
This was no ordinary washboard, it had mirrors, pan, cans, and even a cowbell, which he'd reach down and tickle from time to time while on stage.
Walker T and Tim opened their act and immediately, people were on the floor dancing.

For a small place, there was quite a crowd, about 30 people from their 20s all the way up to our age and maybe older [but not by much lol]

They played a set and then Babbs came out and received a roaring applause.

Accompanying himself on his ubiquitous trombone, Babbs read two poems, one by Walker T and one of his own, to the crowd's delight.

Some people in the front corner booth were talking during Babbs' performance so he tooted his trombone in their direction and they got the hint
[rude!]
He definitely had the crowd going because no one wanted him to stop.
I haven't seen anyone speak to musical accompaniment since the 60s [or last july 4, anyway] and Judy never had
and she thought it was terriffic.
She's still talking about the time we had up there.

After Babbs' performance, there was a short break and I hopped outside for a quick joint.
When I came back in, Walker T and Tim had full command of the stage.
I swear music was coming out of the walls, and it wasn't just what I'd smoked.
The rest of the night was SERIOUS!!!

Some of the older crowd thinned out
and left the kids and the two crazy women for the treat of everyone's life, I'm sure.

You would have sworn there were more than two guys up there, and certainly more than one guitar. Every time they'd finish one song, I would think to myself that it couldn't be topped, just as they'd start into another even better song.

Everyone was on their feet, even people who couldn't dance.

Judy and I laughed and laughed at this one guy, a white kid who was trying to dance like a robot, but he looked more like Elaine on Seinfeld [little kicks hahaha]
After a lot more wine, someone asked me to dance and I found myself in the middle of the writhing crowd having the aerobics workout of my life but even that was good.
All too soon, the evening came to an end but not before one last number.
by that time, there were about six women and only one guy dancing but no one cared.

The one guy leaned over to Judy and said something but she was laughing way too hard for him to have asked her to dance.

When I got back to the table, she told me he'd said to her that he was the luckiest man alive, he was dancing with five women! She said that what was so funny was that he said it like he really believed it!

All too soon, the night was over and we had to go.
Later on that night, I met a nice police officer who didn't make me attempt a field sobriety test after I ran a red light in front of him.
He spoke sternly to me and said he'd almost hit me, but he didn't even give me a ticket.

good thing.

I'd still be in jail after everything
I'd imbibed, inhaled and still was holding.

So, would I do it again?

Was it worth a four hour drive?


ABSOLUTELY!!!

If you ever get a chance to hear these guys in person, do yourself a big favor and go.
You won't be sorry.

Griffy
The official mascot of Napier Field
cartoon based upon the mythological Griffin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin

from:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1436696/posts

During take-off and landing training of Mexican pilots at Napier Field, Alabama, it was necessary during the summer to water spray the old P-40 engines before take-off to allow sufficient cooling.

These limitations highlight the operational performance of the MEAF.

Operational Performance

Que los miembros de La Fuerza A Expedicionaria Mexicana no olviden nunca el ejemplo de nuestros es.
Que, en las pruebas que les reserva la guerra, sientan latir?
al un?
No con los suyos.
Los corazones de todos los mexicanos
Y que la bandera que les en vuelva con ellos, desgarrada tal vez por las balas del enemigo,
pero con gloria. ** ?

President Manuel Avila Camacho
( I may have rilly messed this up but I tried)

The MEAF and the 201st Squadron were a force representing in the battlefield to the Mexican military; they represented them well. It was a small force that combated during a relatively short period of time.

"But considering that the 201st was new to combat their record compares favorably with that of the veteran pilots of the 58th Group."

The 201st Squadron flew fifty-nine combat missions
in Luzon and Formosa, and several ferry flights in the SWPA.

There were inevitable losses; that was the price to pay for the honor of Mexico. The Concept of Operations Tactical and Operational concepts in the SWPA are unique in many ways. General MacArthur and General Kenney established a working relationship that enhanced the capabilities of ground, air, and maritime components in an unprecedented form among
Allied forces.
Their success in integrating air and land forces operations is comparable to the German?s "Blitzkrieg" operational concept.

The Allied Strategy to defeat Japan required the reduction of the defense perimeter, expanded after the Japanese offensive in 1942.
This strategy made unnecessary to recapture all the terrain in Japanese hands. Isolation of forces and use of forward operational bases were better in terms of cost and effectiveness. From these forward bases it was possible to employ tactical air power, to negate Japan its lines of communication.





Somebody May Need To Correct Me But I'm Pretty Sure
Ever' Mexican Pilot in WWII
GOT HIS WINGS AT NAPIER FIELD!

I wasn't messin' wid you last nite
about having ROBERTOREG'S ANGELS
on dah scene in Cottage Grove las' nite!

I'll give you a report.
that guy and his backup are out fucking outstanding musicians!
no lie!

judy was even rocking in her seat. but I had to get up and shake a leg.
the real fun came afterward on the way home when I was drunk with a joint in my mouth lit and got pulled over for running a red light.
judy was up on the fwy waiting for me saying to herself that I'm dead and it's her fault for letting me drive, and I couldn't pass an fst if I were sober, and stuff like that when I came up behind her on the fwy.
I got outta my car and ran over to her window and she was just freaking!
meanwhile, the joint I thought I'd hidden while the cop was running my license had burnt my dress and I didn't know until a truck passed by while I was standing there and the dress just sort dematerialized and blew away in the draft. so I'm standing on the freeway in the middle of the night in my undies, the top of my dress and sandals.

needless to say, I got quickly into my car and drove sanely behind judy until we got to her son's house where she is housesitting.
we got there about 2:30 or after in the a.m. and sat around and laughed our asses off forevermore.
had to get up really early because she had to be at some car place in roseburg by 8 a.m. to have her windows tinted.

I'll write more when I find my glasses.

Hey y'all:

Gotta call from BQ this afternoon 'bout the time I was about to close down & she told me Wayne Knight died down in Florida below Tampa on Monday.

I guess I've known Wayne Knight since elementary school. He lived two doors down from the Wheatleys on the east side of South Saint Andrews at the southeast corner of Hill and St. Andrews. Seem like I remember some nice palms in their yard and Wayne's mother was real skinny.

Wayne opening Poplar Head Mule Co. was a pretty big deal to us. My brother Bill worked in that building for years when it was known as Dothan Hardware.

In 1998, I was at Poplar Head Mule Co. for my 30 Year Reunion of the DHS Class of '68.
Matt Bullard's brother had taken over and our class organizers hired the Swingin' Medallions for the party. There was over a thousand people no doubt in the courtyard of Poplar Head Mule Co.

To get out to the courtyard from the restaurant, you had to cut a corner and walk down a little hall. When Wayne had the place, he'd put a long piece of furniture in the hall with glass top.
Right when you looked down at the glass as you first went toward the exit, you saw my Daddy's business card from the 50s when he was Territory Manager for Goodrich. Seeing that at my class reunion made me appreciate Wayne a little more.

Wayne put that business card there.

That's the kind of cat Wayne wuz.
He could be brutal but he could be gentle and charming.

God rest his soul.

HEY Y'ALL:
As many of you know, the cornerstone of our remodeling business is our fearless leader, S. Lee Pake, going to garage sales on Sattiddee.

He found the album cover for the ARS Dog Days album this weekend so we got all the graphics but no record but that makes sense when you read the current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine (the one WITH THE POLICE ON THE COVER!)

The feature article in the June 28, 2007 issue with the Police on the cover is called

THE RECORD INDUSTRY'S SLOW FADE...
Sales are tanking, and there's no hope in sight:
HOW IT ALL WENT WRONG

Here's a sample quote:
"WE HAVE A BUSINESS THAT'S DYING. THERE WON'T BE ANY MAJOR LABELS PRETTY SOON."

OZ Music is in business but 2700 music stores have closed in this country since 2003.
I went into OZ across the river today & bought a Rolling Stone Magazine so I'd have somethin' to read while I munched on my chicken kabobs at Zoe's http://www.zoeskitchen.com/inthenews.asp?record_no=6957

According to the article 5000 record-company employees have been fired since 2000.

Warners announced this month they're gonna put their entire catalogue on the Web fo' free just so they can get downloads.

The melody, the memory & the emotion are there
but ain't no M-O-N-E-Y fo' dah music.

The cat at OZ told me they'd sold a ton the Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music http://heybabydays.com

I like what I see.

Police in Oakland, CA spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman
who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas
canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them
in the police line, shouting, "Please come out and give yourself up."

HEY Y'ALL:

Yesterday I celebrated Father's Day by going down below Forkland to ride on the river with Archie and his crew. I had a premonition that the sun was so hot and the land was so dry that the cows would break out of Mr. Jim's [Archie's Daddy] fence and eat his hay bale sculptures.

---

Sho 'nuff, I were riding down 43 to Archie's place and when I passed Mr. Jim's there was Archie & Paula in their car underneath the BIRD sign. I did a YouEEE
& sho 'nuff, the cows weren't munching on the bunny but they ate half way through the caterpillar. Archie got all the cows off the highway right of way and Mr. Jim showed up.





all images courtesy of http://www.alafarmnews.com/0205archive/0205bird.htm


Me & Mr. Jim

Mr. Jim had me get in the back of his truck and told me to give the cows these pellets so we could lure 'em to a back pasture. Well Mr. Jim didn't take off right away and cows attacked me!
This red heifer bit the bag with the pellets and almost got my hand! Damn cow bit like a snake. Scared me to death so I jumped off the truck with Mr. Jim cussing me,"You don't know a damn thang about cows, COWBOY!"

So Archie took my place and I took my truck and used it to round up the stragglers.
We got our little herd of ten across the railroad tracks and here come 50 more ready to go home so as soon as they got through the gate, I tied it with bailing wire & went to meet Archie & Mr. Jim.

It was bedlam!

The red cow tried to bite Archie and he jumped off the truck hollering just like I did. Two more red heifers squared off and went at each other like two of those Rocky Mountain Sheep. Unbelievable. The cows were in good shape physically but the drought had gotten to them. Archie said he'd never seen cows so mean. We went over to Archie's place & fed Archie's cows and they acted the same damn way. Weird...

I could NOT have been in a better place yesterday afternoon. The whole time we were on the Black Warrior River, we saw ONE Seadoo.

We had the place to ourself.

Sitting on that pontoon boat with Mr. Jim Bird, a graduate Marine Engineer, and using my copy of The Historical Atlas of Alabama
http://www.as.ua.edu/geography/cartlab/publications/index.html,
we talked about every port of call in the fork of the Warrior and the 'Bigbee.
What a man.

We went up in this slough and he told me, "I didn't buy this land when I had a chance. $125 an acre. If I'd a done it, I would have owned three continuous miles between the banks of the two rivers."

kewl, huh?!!!!


Came by to check in with the office in the middle of the morning today and "Mean Gene", the postman, had me a big old package from Alison Heafner http://myspace.com/alisonheafner
Gene said the gig with A TOUCH OF GRAY at Indian Hills for the Tuscaloosa Black Bear Class of '67 40th Reunion Saturday night wuz dah bomb! He said "the kids" rilly seemed to love the music. I told him I saw Black Bear Class of '67 grad Julia & her crimson '65 GTO convertible at Steamer's during lunch on Saturday & gotta nice hug.

I ripped that package OPEN! Everybody in the office was curious and I pulled out the CD [been listening to it the entire time I've been writing this. The three cuts that have my attention rite now are FACE IN THE MIRROR, CRUCIFIED & THE ODE TO BILLY JOE.

WHOA!
The good gal sent me a poster. It promotes her 2007 Beale Street Music Festival performance as the winner of ROCK 103's 2007 Crawfish Festival & GREAT UNSIGNED BATTLE OF THE BANDS.

Underneath her sexy photo Alison wrote in silver magic marker:

From Igor:

Here 'tis. See attachment. Was a cheap camera back then. Little fuzzy. Sharpened a bit in photoshop.

BTW, that Sistine Chukker shirt on the Lauri photo was the first 4-color process t-shirt done in Tuscaloosa (maybe in Alabama!) from a photograph. Shirt and ink reps said it couldn't be done (with the technology of the time). The photo was a 2-1/4 slide taken by John Earl back when the original ceiling art was pretty new. He lighted it well and shot as good a photo as could be taken. Back before photoshop and PCs, I had to send the image off to a graphics house to have the separations done at 1/2 size to photo positives. Cost about $100. I then enlarged it to size with a process camera. Shirts were hand-printed (which is why the reps said it couldn't be done without fancy printing machines) but turned out pretty good for a first timer!

I need some backup.

The movie company that does "acid test" need to follow the trail!

In that spirit, I wanna say right now I wanna audition for the part of the Alabama State Trooper who pulled you over. (i think) I don't have the book in front of me and I haven't looked at in years but there's a cop who meets you in Alabama and suggests an EXIT!

The Alabama Film OfFice http://www.alabamafilm.org/
ougtta get into to this because we in ALABAMA
could front for Pensacola Beach in the summer of '64 either on the west end of Dauphin Island or on the Ft. Morgan Peninsula.

This is rill important to me & I think it will pay off for the movie company to actually retrace the route & to be able to take care of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama & Florida scenes
here in the state.

Best,

lostsa luck, compadre. I have nothing to do with any of this. And
having been around the various incarnations of the movie of EKAT over
the years I am not holding my breath waiting for this one to happen.
Gus Van Sant is a definite light at the end of a tie-dye tunnel, but
I am sure there will be many twists and turns in the plot before it
is slammered to a conclusion.

My wife and I saw Waitress last night. A sassy brassy film made all
the more poignant by the murder of the writer/director/actress in the
movie, last September, before the movie came out.

Only way possible to end the bus movie is to have it driving through
the streets of Havana with Cuban kids chasing after, Carlos Santana
blasting through the speakers, Pranksters reciting Jose Marti poetry
at the tops of their lungs: A white rose I grow for the true friend
who offers me his hand.
