Phillippe i try... according to both her and her brother they were raised by their mother and me, not by their father (even though he was physically present) but she and i have gone on a rollercoaster ride. first she was neutral; then a brutally mean, spoiled brat; then she adored me for a few years; then hated me when she went to this quaker high school in pa and decided she knew everything and got aggressively self-righteous when we didn't see things the same; now, since she's become a college student we get along pretty well.

Flash - 'makes sense...and then there's the rebelling against being good too; especially growing up in a "new money" wealthy community, getting trophies for existing; with a pushover, almost stereotypical "liberal" mom who didn't earn their respect and a selfish, know-it-all corporate lawyer dad.

She has always been a vigorous hand washer. My compromise is to use more soap, lots of lather.

Back Beat No. 5:

Due to work, I’m a day-after listener, but here are a few quick observations on two of the tracks:

“What Turns You On” features Davie Allen of Davie Allen And The Arrows, of “Blues Theme” Fame (The Wild Angels, 1966). Here is how the soundtrack is described in the blurb for the recent Sundazed reissue:

Hailed as “magnificent” by the Los Angeles Times, director Dale Davis’ film The Golden Breed captured surfing at the height of its longboard era. Featuring the sport’s top stars, it was beautifully shot in Hawaii, California and other scenic locales. However, when the film was released in 1968, surfing was in the midst of a revolution. Australian Nat Young won the 1966 World Championship using a shortboard, which was 3 to 4 feet shorter than a longboard, allowing greater maneuverability and increased speed. This feat sparked a mass move toward shortboards, making longboards appear passé in comparison. In other words, longboards were no longer cool in 1968 and as a result, The Golden Breed quickly disappeared from theaters.

Scored by Mike Curb, Jerry Styner and Harley Hatcher, the film’s soundtrack is just as evocative and vivid as its aquatic footage. Curb assembled a “first call” set of studio musicians to record it, including Curb soundtrack veteran Davie Allan on guitar. Trimming the fuzz and turning up the reverb, Allan turns in a superb performance with his guitar lines often juxtaposed against Tijuana Brass-style horns to great effect. Curb recruited members of The Riptides as vocalists as well as Mike Clifford, who sang the film’s title track. This aggregate group of musicians and vocalists was dubbed “The Back-Wash Rhythm Band” on the LP’s liner notes, obscuring their true identities. Capitol Records released the album as Capitol # 2886 but without a successful movie to promote it, it sold few copies and was duly deleted.

In the years since its release, the superb quality of the soundtrack earned it a well-deserved spot among the best recordings of the surf genre. Collectors eagerly sought it, guaranteeing high prices when an elusive copy was found. But just as longboards have made a big comeback, Sundazed Music now brings this classic album back from the beach for your listening pleasure. Sourced from the original Capitol analog tapes, it sounds better than ever!

***

“Whiplash” by Oscar And The Majestics: Very much in the vein of “High Wall” by The (Fabulous) Wailers from 1959, but sped-up and double-picked.

Another great show, Danny!
