I had a disastrous trip there with the famous Meredith about 10 years ago. I'd love to go back with better companions. In the fall, when I pick my vacation times, we should discuss a mutually agreeable time for me to come up there.Your driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-32783205256179226562008-06-18T13:55:00.000-07:002008-06-18T13:55:00.000-07:00I know that Cleveland is associated with the birth...I know that Cleveland is associated with the birth of Rock and Roll because Allen Freed's moondog matinee show came from there. I don't know that Cleveland has more good bands than other cities. Name some. I can think of several good bands from there, but Cleveland is a pretty big city and Ohio is a pretty populous state. Go ahead, embarrass me with a long list of brilliant bands from Cleveland. I know that Detroit had a lot of good bands because there wasn't anything else there but music. I mean there just aren't a lot of distractions. Lots of competing cultures will produce a good scene. South Texas is home to Black, Mexican, "regular" white people, Cajuns, French speaking Creole and lately Vietnamese musicians. That seems to produce a lot of synergy and a lot of energy. You have to make a lot of noise to be heard in that kind of environment.Your driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-13350469021741917122008-06-18T01:43:00.000-07:002008-06-18T01:43:00.000-07:00Ha!

The story goes that when he was working for a spell for London Transport, he entertained (or infuriated) passengers by playing bass over the tanoy.<BR/><BR/>Why is it that so much good music came out of Cleveland ? Rubber City too.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788986697776895039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-28268410946124418302008-06-17T20:55:00.000-07:002008-06-17T20:55:00.000-07:00In the vain hope of prompting an expedition, may I...In the vain hope of prompting an expedition, may I note that "dead man" was shot at the tip of Washington state? I do love that film.mwhybarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877398873047521007noreply@blogger.com
