1977 - GETTIN' DOWN WITH JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON - THIS IS THE ICONIC ALBUM COVER 1977 REISSUE OF HIS 1963 ALBUM "I CRIED FOR YOU", BUT THAT ORIGINAL RELEASE HAD A DIFFERENT ALBUM COVER - BESIDES BEING ON 4 FRANK ZAPPA ALBUMS, FRANK SAID JOHNNY'S SONG "3 HOURS PAST MIDNIGHT" WAS WHAT INSPIRED HIM TO BECOME A GUITARIST { FRANK STARTED OUT FIRST PLAYING DRUMS, AND LEGEND HAS IT THAT THE BAND FIRED HIM BECAUSE HE COULDN'T KEEP A BEAT }. I'LL TELL YEZ FOLKS, YEZ COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER ALBUM COVER IF YOU WERE A GUITARIST. FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS THAT JOHNNY DOESN'T PLAY GUITAR ON IT, HE PLAYS PIANO AND SINGS, AND SPEAKING OF SINGING ALONG, YEZ JUST MIGHT WANNA BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHOM YOU'RE SINGING ALONG WITH THESE DAY - CADET RECORDS LABEL - CA-4056 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, I'M SURE YOU WILL IF YEZ HAVEN'T ALREADY - OK LARRY?

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES MITCH MILLER LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL? YEAH, IF YOU'RE A DINOSAUR GEEZER YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, HE HAD THAT SING ALONG WITH MITCH TV SHOW. WELL NOT ONLY WAS HE SCARY LOOKING, BUT HE WAS AN A&R MAN FOR MERCURY AND COLUMBIA RECORDS. THAT'S RIGHT, HE WAS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE AND HE HATED ROCK 'N' ROLL. IN 1958 HE SAID "ROCK 'N' ROLL IS MUSICAL BABY FOOD. IT IS THE WORSHIP OF MEDIOCRITY, BROUGHT ABOUT BY A PASSION OF CONFORMITY". HUH? THEY SAY HE WAS BORN IN 1911 AND CROAKED IN 2010, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE, NOW CHECK THIS OUT: A FEW YEARS AGO THEY FOUND SOME OLD PAPYRUS SCROLLS IN SOME CAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHEN THEY DECIPHERED THEM, TO THEIR AMAZEMENT THEY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE DEVIL WOULD RETURN AS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE. HEY, THEY WERE WEARING SANDALS AROUND BACK THEN AND RECORDS DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. SO HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT? NOW THE GOVERNMENTS BEEN TRYING TO KEEP IT QUIET, THEY DON'T WANNA CREATE A WORLD WIDE PANIC. BESIDES, I HEAR THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CHECK OUT IF MITCH REALLY DID CROAK, OR IF HE'S STILL LURKING AROUND SOMEWHERE. SO ROCK 'N' ROLL MIGHT NOT REALLY BE SATAN'S MUSIC, AND YEZ BETTER BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YEZ SING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS. OK LARRY?
