Although, to be rewarded damages in the state of CA you must prove within a shadow of a doubt that they have "harmed your character" or "shown or displayed your likeness in an unattractive/ unappealing manner". <BR/>And you being the fit hound dog that you are that's going to be difficult to accomplish! <BR/>I bet they'd settle for a "trade", if you know what I mean...Uncle Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04570327775449916376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164496577238912418.post-79101245893252578862008-10-18T06:47:00.000-07:002008-10-18T06:47:00.000-07:00Harry, have I finally found you again? Have thought of you often, and even shed a tear or two, since our one-night-stand after meeting at The Manhole bar in Chicago, shortly before it was closed-down by the authorities.<BR/><BR/>Must say, you were quite the fellow back then. Your ability to switch roles at the drop of a hat really impressed me. (Must be your acting background.) I mean this literally because the moment I took off my hat and dropped it on the floor you were all over me. First with your paintbrush then that silly ostritch feather you pulled from below your sofa. As the song goes, “Oh, What A Night.”<BR/><BR/>Anyway, after our brief encounter you disappeared never to be found by me again, until now, when I somehow stunbled across you here on this blog.<BR/><BR/>Wondering if we might meet again to see if that special spark is still there?<BR/><BR/>ClintAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164496577238912418.post-25468563766643640912008-10-09T08:47:00.000-07:002008-10-09T08:47:00.000-07:00You left out one of the Hoongadoongas.

You had the worst case of Gingivitis I had ever seen when you strolled into my office in 1982. Your upper left bicuspid was hanging by a sole nerve ending due to your disgusting habit of brushing your teeth with baking soda and gin. <BR/>I ended up marrying your ex wife, you know. Sure, I divorced her two weeks later after I found out that she was a High Priestess in the Unarian cult out in El Cajon, but not until I 'gathered' some dirt on everyones favorite washed up child actor. <BR/>Let's play a word association game, shall we? Tell me what the following verbage means to you, ok Harry? Here we go: shaved gerbils; greased doorknobs; the 'gimp' in the basement; cranberry juice enemas. Shall I go on? Or does that ring a bell or two?<BR/><BR/>Anyhew, nice to hear you're doing well, my friend.

I was looking forward to the show and within the first two minutes I was thinking "Jesus, this is the same guy who was one of Phil Spector's main guys? The same cat that George Harrison invited to play at the concert for Bangladesh?"<BR/><BR/>From where I sat it was all bass guitar. Leon's vocals sounded muddy, muted and basically bad.<BR/><BR/>A half-full house didn't help the vibe, and neither did Leon's catatonic stage presence. Would it kill the guy to say hello?<BR/><BR/>I could be mistaken but I thought the guy on the sound board looked pretty familiar, like maybe he's one of the Cascade guys. I hope I'm wrong. Half the fun of seeing a nostalgia act is hearing the hits, but when you can't tell Hummingbird from Lady Blue, it's a bad look all around.<BR/><BR/>I hope the appropriate people are in place for Kenny Loggins (although I'm not going). I'd hate to see similar sound for a big-dollar act like that.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, however. I'm a big Cascade fan and a JPR supporter and I think the theater is the best thing to hit town since Jack's Grill. It can sound good (Buddy Guy was a good example)but last Thursday was a mess.<BR/><BR/>If the Queen is right, and it is a case of out-of-towners, the Cascade mgmt. should make very strong suggestions as to how to work the sound so everybody sounds (and looks) good.<BR/><BR/>And Harry, keep up the good work!I second that opinionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164496577238912418.post-14191656242992827752008-07-19T01:34:00.000-07:002008-07-19T01:34:00.000-07:00I'd like to apologize to the Cascade because I know I've heard some good sound in that room, but whoever Leon had working the board wasn't earning their pay. I doubt there was even a soundcheck...it eas awful. The place wasn't full which causes some acts to cop an attitude, but it didn't seem that any adjustments were being made during the show.

When they're running the equipment, it can sound pretty good. They know the hall, they know the equipment. They understand the unique acoustic personality of the grand jewel of Redding.<BR/><BR/>What the general public may not know is that most of the performers who appear on stage at the theatre bring their own sound crew, their own sound boards, and they take over. These are people who have usually never set foot in the venue before and they tend to overdo it because they don't realize how sensitive the place is. Not only that, their hearing is shot from years of listening at extreme volumes and they don't take the advice of the people who work there. Yeah, it can sound like crap.<BR/><BR/>I wish it didn't work that way. I wish that shows didn't sound better sometimes when I'm wearing ear plugs. I wish people who were being paid upwards of 20-30-40 grand to perform paid more attention to the quality of the sound than to the volume, because you're right. It does make the theatre look bad, even though the theatre truly isn't in control of the sound most of the time. But the general public doesn't necessarily know this, so thanks for the opportunity to let people know.The Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13122631086906104426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164496577238912418.post-66210916315555521462008-07-14T08:50:00.000-07:002008-07-14T08:50:00.000-07:00You always did have a vivid fantasy life, Harry. <BR/>"Bleeding" you dry?!
