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."

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.)

Blue . . .

. . . Ball Road Studio . . . yes, it's real. . . 

(from Jay's post on OHO's Facebook page, Sunday, January 11, 2015)
Today Ray & I meet David at his Blue Ball Road Studio to sort through a number of saxophone tracks recorded some time ago at Bill Pratt's Bratt Studio in Woodlawn by Gene Meros. The aim is to comb through them, locate the best phrases and link them with integrity. The process is the elimination of those phrases that definitely will not be used, then by a further elimination, then by an even further elimination; then by placing this phrase in front of THAT one; and that one behind THIS one: viola! Another "hit."

And we did indeed spend a joyous three hours on that cool and beautiful sunny Sunday to accomplish what you can hear below.  One or two more tweaks back at Bratt Studios and we put this baby to bed.

More House . . .

. . . party restoration . . . (with added gonzo piano and synth) . . .


". . . Somewhat dated but full of JOY, it's interesting that it sounds nothing like Aubrey Circle (more like Aubrey Circle meets Archie Bell & The Drells). So "following the trail of crumbs" (trusting in the process) brought this project to its partial fruition from that band's nugget of inspiration, implanted 30+ years ago. Special thanks to Vince Tuminello who guests on tambourine and especially to Bill Pratt who made manifest all the ideas we had for the tune and SOOOOOO much more. Tangentially related to this is having recently viewed a DVD about Joe Meek ("Telstar"); current musical endeavors (that stretch the imagination to match the long reach of time) are apparently being aerated in the effluvium of his influence. . . "

". . . impregnating the muse so she lights up like a small sun in the solar system of our souls. . ."
