"Now I know what it feels like to BE God!"

~WARNING~

It's a well-proven fact that only the bravest and most deserving Trick Or Treaters 
will even approach a house playing these un-godly sounds.

In honor of  All-Saints Day past, please reward those that cross your sonic line of no-return 
with a full-size bar of quality candy and not those little one-bite fun-size wannabe bars
(Snickers preferred).

That 18 year old Mary Shelly's 1818  novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is responsible for such indelible and iconic characters as Victor and his unholy creation is itself 
one of the great stories, as is the hilarious homage and cast of 
Mel Brooks' classic Young Frankenstein
~"What hump?"~

CSO Sounds & Stories » Ebert hails the comic genius of Mel Brooks' 'Young  Frankenstein'


Happy Halloween - Stay Safe!

"We've been running 'round in our present state
hoping help will come from above"

*This Transmission and the pictured Guit-Art by my muse, 
Tracy "Dare To Be Different" Cassidy 
were born during a fun session in our joint-studio on this beautiful afternoon. Each of our projects had no pre-planned starting point and both ultimately arrived at an unexpected groovy destination by following our impulses and inspiration.

"You've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
You have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious time"

"c'mon turn this thing around"

*I got to see VH in early 1978 on their first tour at a WBCN $1.04 night night at the Paradise Theatre, Boston. At that time all the band had released was the advance 12" of Running With The Devil - so we really didn't know what to expect. I was lucky enough to see VH many times afterwards with both Dave and Sammy. It's not that often that I get to really share with you one of my favorite concert moments, but tonight I can. On November 6, 1993, Sammy Hagar was a surprise guest at Neil & Peggy Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert at Bill Graham's Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. As you can see on the video below and the tunes in the Transmission, Sammy "conned" his talented bandmate to join him on guitar and piano for a short set for the kids on stage and
22,000 fans! 

We remember
Edward Van Halen
