    I listened [sort of] to Milk again and heard the Swamp this time. Heard Brill Building, too, or the L.A./Nilsson/Neismith spin; ‘Girl Group’ is the current term. Add that to [then current] Sunset blvd, Texas Rice Plains, and a peek in a Bourbon St. late night Coffee joint; the Second Line was out of earshot tho. Wow; what a statement over feeling/expressing influences. And a fun, stand-alone LP. Could have been inspirational like Trout but nobody heard it, right? I Also like Milk, songs not as strong; some songs on LPs on Trout >>> but not much else yet. No disc to listen to twice, for sure . . . .seems like the same LP over and over and over Trout on. [Why? * ] Guys who like Trout probably think 200 Motels was entertainment and not a mere indulgence. I live the practice of Raku; but just sloppiness for Art’s sake didn’t cut it. Duchamp was doing that 90+ Years ago when it was relevant. Frank should expect more of himself. Have Doc Who go back and address these ‘errors,’ please. Like my tense statments

    Been wondering that. Think the reason might be in having an actual PRODUCER produce, rather than an “Enabler” facilitate, like Frank or Don Himself. Accessibility. Might like that “hidden” Plate He did before Trout. It’s on the net somewhere; just can’t spend my whole Listening Time in Hot Zappaville. Will report later.

    Separated at Birth? or cloned?

    “Clear Spot” I mean to say that instead of "Milk’ as another nice stand-alone. so the ‘missing’ LP is still out there; has a Title.

    Chalkie j said, less than a minute ago and just now:

    I want to know about “El Paso” when you get back to where You once belong. not yer opinion, mind You; i need something useful and more interested in the facts dept. and should it ‘move up’ or ‘down’ in the “next” Docket. Know yer biased but possibly informed, too, maybe, and m willing to risk a WHOLE 90 minutes! truly ; tell mi. . . .just my cheeky nature turning to You, again. Can’t explain THAT flaw; sorry.

    Oh, and anything with Ry Cooder playing slide is sorta exactly like something by Lowell George doing same. Dang yes wanna hear that Tool shred! Those Guys [and Johnny goes without saying but i did] never can shut-up too much there.

    “Strictly PersonaL” is the One. With Ry, i believe but that Gary Lucas is like clog/sandal kinda thing.Finding It piecemeal, piece-by-meal.

    Sounds permanent? I’m going to get an answer from somebody in a Dai too orI call pick-coe-lee whatever i want basically; cuz i gave Him some warning . . .fair Game there.

    I keep coming back in the other Room to check titles and Mirror Man is for sure a fav. Might be a live version? An alt? One called Mere Man [Son of]. Anything with ry. Chicken Skin and Milk for Lunch and Bone-Jumping Paradise later Heard of “Jamming with Edward”? circa 1969 “Instrumental Stones” sub Ry for Keith basically.

    One of my Librarians has 2 Li’l Feat both much better than the ’waiting for Columbus so stuff out there.

    This is for any body BUT Gweedo [namely mi tomorrow]; HE doesn’t like the Beach boys or early Beatles or anything which make ya feel GUD. Fooey! The Hollies – beatclub [Deutschland] 28th may 1966. [9:15]

    Those Harmonies are LIVE, Folks. Does it Sound like the love-of-It is fake?!? That’s Graham “Parcel” Nash on the Telecaster BTW. how come the Yanks couldn’t START to get it right until late 1973?!? “We’re” still the Only Ones to get the Olympics completely wrong.

    Argy Bardy, Batchain Man: Quite a different East side story i was expecting to squeeze into.Listening to the first two slices of Humble Pie; quite a shock! thought they were a one-gear Boogie band but #2 is full of acoustic Guitar and #1 had lots of hard Rock. Trying to tell the difference between Stevie and Peter. have no idea what Marriott sounds like on his own, as SM was Pop, not jamming, and HP was always either Frampton or Clem Clemson there. But that’s my ‘homework’ lately; “voices”. Beck vs, Page i’m totally lost.Maybe Monday You’’ get yer Tongue back?

    Well, i never looked at Pigsmarm, and repeat: Brilliant People don’t talk like that. He’s [really?] He’s not a Bore, but the pretentious part isWould never have guessed Ry was on LF 1 but since i DID know, i could tell. Ry keeps a li’l rhythm in, and out of the slide note. Lowell sets You up, then shakes the daylight outta that Neck. Up/Down, no clue there tho. Whichever is the Limit.
