Unholy . . .

. . . trinity . . .

Up next: OHO at Johnny's Pub (5601 Coastal Hwy/Ocean City, MD/21842/410-723-5600)
When? 8:00 PM-12:00 AM, Friday February 20, 2015

Chicken calzone is wonderful and enough to feed at least 2, maybe even 3 people.
What to expect? 3 to 4 sets of contemporary rock & pop music ranging from Cole Porter to the Beatles/Stones/Kinks, and onto Fitz & The Tantrums/Weezer/Leonard Cohen and even a smattering of OHO original compositions: definitely an alternative to what one is usually exposed to in this Maryland province. Remember, there's magic at the beach even in the dead of winter..."burning gray, without its flare."

History . . .

. . . With members Jay (guitar/vocals), Jeff (drums)[later replaced by David], Greg (sax/vocals) and myself (keyboard/vocals), we undertook a string of private affairs and wedding receptions.  Soon we decided to dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of a regular engagement, most desirably at a nightclub.  Our one weak point however in pursuit of this lofty goal was our repertoire.  Our rehearsals were few and far between.  In fact, I now cannot remember an actual rehearsal with this incarnation of 'Ful Treatment.' To our chagrin,  and self-deceiving disbelief, club owners actually wanted the bands they hired to play the current top-forty popular favorites to which the audience could dance.  We, in our haughty laziness (or was it lazy haughtiness?) refused to do that.  In fact we simply continued to play as much of our uptempo (and preferably 'newer') material instead of succumbing to the current trend of disco music brought about by the recent resurgent popularity of the Bee Gees thanks to the film Saturday Night Fever.  In our defense, we did learn a new number or two, just simply not enough to market ourselves as a top-forty act. Another improvement that we opted not to pursue was the hiring of a fifth band member to play the bass guitar, a definite enhancement to a combo's authenticity when reproducing dance music (as well as rock music in general), and mainly for the reason that it would have resulted in another party with whom to share the money.  .  . 

Three-quarters of which comprise the present day OHO!!! . . .

Brushing . . .

. . . up for Saturday . . . 

(Sing along with us now . . . )

Blood Brother
(OHO rehearsal recording January 30, 2015)

I'll be your Blood Brother

By your side through thick and thin

I'll be your Blood Brother

Just as long as I don't have to bloody

My hands 

Bar rooms sure have a funny way

Of bringing loyalty out in a man

Buy a drink and tell a joke

And buddy you've got you a friend

But keep a good eye upon that friend

Because he really doesn't give two hoots

And don't say anything about his Mom

His girlfriend or his army boots

I'll be your Blood Brother

By your side through thick and thin

I'll be your Blood Brother

Just as long as I don't have to bloody

My hands 

Walked into an auto-mo-showroom

I need some wheels but got no money to spend

When a guy with an ugly tie

Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend

I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here

And if you please I will accomplish my goal

So don't you slap me on the back again

Cause if you do I might just lose my control

I'll be your Blood Brother

By your side through thick and thin

I'll be your Blood Brother

Just as long as I don't have to bloody

My hands 

So please be careful when you meet someone

Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat

And don't provide them with encouragement

You will regret the day you offered him that

Cause everybody needs some empathy

But just how willing

And how far will they go

To really help you when the chips are down

Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them

I'll be your Blood Brother

By your side through thick and thin

I'll be your Blood Brother

Just as long as I don't have to bloody

My hands

Whistling Dixie . . .

. . . we are NOT

. . . Jay and Bill were hard at work tuning the saxophone track for Slough of Despond, enhancement of which was the raison d'etre for the gathering.  As a damp, cold evening fell upon the small, neat Woodlawn neighborhood, a weather forecast for icy precipitation and a slight apprehension regarding its veracity were among my thoughts upon my arrival.  David appeared shortly thereafter and the work (fun?)/fun (work?) continued. Some subtle and some not-so-subtle revisions, such as adding a whistling melody to the first verse, were administered as we plough through the slough towards completion. . .

. . . we may have arrived!  Listen. . .



Slough of Despond
(by OHO,  Jay Graboski, David Reeve & Ray Jozwiak with added whistling by Bill & David and new tweaks, pulls, pushes, drags, tunings and other edits at Bill Pratt's Bratt Studio January 23, 2015.)
