Collect for July 28: Almighty God, beautiful in majesty and majestic inholiness, who dost teach us in Holy Scripture to sing thy praises and who gavest thy musicians Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel and Henry Purcell grace to show forth thy glory in their music: Be with all those who write or make music for thy people, that we on earth may glimpse thy beauty and know the inexhaustible riches of thy new creation in Jesus Christ our Savior; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. — from Holy Women, Holy Men (new from Church Publishing)

The Nails : Home of the Brave
Thank you my “paisano” Joseph Costanzo for reminding me about The Nails … where is Mark Campbell?
“Back to Nature”
A rarity … this reminds me of Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Fawn … I’m sure Frank was referencing it.
“Ricky’s Hand” live
One for the psychoanalysts : Here he is doing it live on stage. Watch his antics at the end. Remember … no Fad Gadget, no Tony V … and no T.V.O.D.
Fad Gadget
The beautiful Frank Tovey (R.I.P.) aka Fad Gadget … this is his first ever TV appearance … when I met him, he was stunningly beautiful, see I’ve said it again.
Leonard Cohen
A beautiful live version of “Avalanche”

His “advice for young people” (beware: f-word present)

Wednesday, July 21 in NYC for free. Mr. Winston Rodney, the man known to his followers around the world as … “the Burning Spear” … join me?
Nick Cave
”He’ll extend his hand, real slowly for a shake. You’ll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake. Cause you know you ain’t getting near much as he will take.” Nick Cave – Red Right Hand
Warren Zevon
Just thinking about Warren Zevon (miss ya, buddy) … Here he is on Letterman doing Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner.
