Thanks great minds think alike haha!
That's nice to hear about my dad. Reading your blog as we speak. Love it!
I'll try to stay away from the obvious choices ("Who's Next", "Dark Side of the Moon", etc.). So here goes: Syd Barrett "The Madcap Laughs"; Sandy Denny "The North Star Grassman and the Ravens"; Fleetwood Mac "Bare Trees"; and Procol Harum "Grand Hotel".
I'm seeing the images when I click the link Donna. That's a great picture of you, Rush and John Gorman...I don't recognize the gentlemen on the far left and far right (though they look vaguely familiar. As for memories of 1974, I'm sure I have some but those days are all a blur!
First, go see #TheLifeofChuck on the big screen. Next, pre-order a copy from Amazon. Then, let me know if you catch my dad's music in the film!

A song my dad wrote and recorded with his 1950's Rockabilly band was included in the fabulous new movie "The Life of Chuck". The song is Rock N Roll Boogie (DJ Spinowitz Remix).

There is now only one degree of separation between us since my dad's 1950's band Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats is included in the remarkable film "The Life of Chuck". The song is Rock N Roll Boogie (Remix) by The Math Club x Kansoma Music ft DJ Spinowitz, taking my dad's song into the 21st Century!
Many thanks Mr. Flanagan for including my father's music in your remarkable film "The Life of Chuck". The song is Rock N Roll Boogie (Remix) by The Math Club x Kansoma Music ft DJ Spinowitz. To hear my dad's voice and his 1950's band Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats enter the 21st Century is unbelievable.
In what universe does a song from the 1950's performed by my dad's band Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats end up in the amazing new film "The Life of Chuck"? Why, this universe of course!
The song is called Rock N Roll Boogie, with The Math Club x Kansoma Music ft DJ Spinowitz doing a 21st Century Remix.

Happy Birthday Donna! Have a great day!
Great to see you on here Ella! Your music has always been amazing!
Such wonderful news Donna, that's a fantastic milestone!
I did kind of jump out of my seat at that Jeff!
That's pretty wild Tom! For me it would be The Kinks at a small club in DC called The Emergency. It held about 100 people. This was June of 1970 just as Lola was released and the band was able to tour the U.S again after being banned in 1965. After Lola became a hit they played bigger venues again.
I always thought so Tom. Back in the days when incredible things were commonplace.
The first concert I went to was The Who at Georgetown University, November 2, 1969. Certainly one of the Top 5 best concerts I've ever seen, but...
The BEST concert I went to was Pink Floyd at The Kennedy Center, May 3, 1972.

Thanks to @joeldenver.bsky.social for helping me secure bobbypoe.music - it will be invaluable in promoting my dad's career as a musician, manager, promoter and trade magazine publisher.
Thank you for reposting this @sliparoundsongs.bsky.social
Thanks Chris I appreciate you saying that!
Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats circa 1956. (L-R): Big Al Downing - piano, lead/backing vocals; Vernon Sandusky - lead guitar, backing vocals (notice Vernon's iconic Fender Stratocaster, one of the first ones made); Joe Brawley - drums; and Bobby Poe Sr - lead vocals (my dad's guitar was just for show).
Thanks!
Hi Anita, hopefully this picture of my sister's puppy Rosco does the trick. He's a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie).
