Alan LewisTHE REMAINS ON PBS Mastodon Post<a href="https://06880danwoog.com/2025/02/21/roundup-board-of-finance-budgets-earth-animal-project-staples-stem-champs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://06880danwoog.com/2025/02/21/roundup-board-of-finance-budgets-earth-animal-project-staples-stem-champs/</a>We had nothing quite like The Remains until this band came along. Widely known for loudness - loudest band I ever heard was a common expression - The Remains ought to be at least as well known for tightness. One of the bootlegs had a track that, no doubt, was not intended for the public to hear. Vern's bass started out too loud, Barry's vocal was a little tentative. It sounded to me like a song they had just reworked and they recorded it promptly to get the arrangement down for reference in future sessions. Then they came to the refrain and the four just hammered it in really close formation. They transformed instantly from four guys working out a song to THE REMAINS ready to take on the world. It was a terrific thing to hear. Some of the available film footage shows a young Vern Miller characteristically hopping about on stage and Barry answering with hops of his own. "Remains Nights" at the early-1960s incarnation of The Rat were where Boston's highly productive rock scene got its start. When Chip Damiani left the band in the lead-up to the Beatles tour, The Remains added a remarkable drummer, ND Smart II. ND was subsequently in a John Hall group, Kangaroo; and then he was in one of my all-time favorite bands, The Great Speckled Bird with Ian and Sylvia. Chip is the drummer The Remains wanted but the band, nonetheless, aced the percussion position with ND, easily one of the very best drummers I ever heard live. Bill Briggs, as The Remains tech guy, was a big part of the band's success. The best equipment and knowing stage set-up were fundamental to what made these four musicians The Remains. This was a highly professional, focused band with what Nancy Neon calls "garage spirit." "Ticket To Ride" by Barry Tashian is one of New England rock history's essential books. A music store in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, displayed a collage made up of various newspaper headlines and notices, each in its own way speaking of The Remains blowing The Beatles off stage. It was great! RiP Chip Damiani.[This is an expanded version of a comment I posted at the Music Museum of New England's Facebook page. One attachment is a scanned image of a concert poster, of a reunion of The Remains and The Lost, given to me by my friend, Susan Green (RiP), who produced the reunion show.]Music Museum of New England

Way to go! This new single from Girl With a Hawk, a Linda S. Viens enterprise, was released this morning. New. I've liked everything I have heard so far by Girl With a Hawk; and I suggest this band as one well worth following. This single had to be good. It is "produced, engineered, and tambourined" by Pete Weiss.

Alan LewisJACOB'S REUNION<a href="https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2052540575_16.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2052540575_16.jpg</a>This is adapted from my earlier YouTube posting.Basic information about the Jacob's Reunion albumJacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (LP, Chelsea House Records CHR-2001, 1975)Jacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (CD, CDJR-1, n.d.) <> Stereo imbalance issue on "E Minor Reel" and "If I Could See You Clearly"*Jacob's Reunion "Jacob's Reunion" (Dig, Bandcamp, n.d.) <> Stereo imbalance issue on "E Minor Reel" and "If I Could See You Clearly"*<a href="https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/album/jacobs-reunion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://johncoster.bandcamp.com/album/jacobs-reunion</a> (The Bandcamp credit is wrong. The "Jacob's Reunion" album is by Jacob's Reunion, not by John Coster.)Richard Block, John Coster, Barbara Hyde, Yosef Oxenhandler, Sandy Sayers.Recorded in Brattleboro, Vermont, 1975, by William H. Gehman, at the Chelsea House, Carol Levin and Bill Gehman, managers.The Chelsea House concert hall and recording studio were the same room. At the time of the Jacob’s Reunion recording sessions, Bill Gehman recorded the band in concert. As I recall, the studio recordings have been located. I wonder whether the whereabouts of the concert recording are also known.“Jacob’s Reunion” is one of my favorite albums. If I should ever make a personal Top 10 Favorites list, I would give this record serious consideration.Bill Gehman used my copy of the original vinyl LP and his, selected the respective tracks with the best sound and the least surface noise, and reissued the album as a compact disc. When you hear these recordings in any digital form, if they show some surface noise, chances are strong you are hearing Bill’s reissue. He gave me what I now consider to be a pre-release copy. Later, I bought a consignment copy that looks to be the more nearly official release. The disc’s label has basic identifying information, including “CDJR-1 A Reissue” On the back of the jewel box is a sticker saying,Tru Stereo Recorded By Wm. H. Gehman Guilford, Vt. ("Tru Stereo" probably refers to the sharp distinction Bill made between stereo and binaural. People my age often refer to binaural recordings as "true stereo." They are nothing of the kind.)It has been ages since all three CD versions, that I have, of this album have been in the same place at the same time. So, I have not been in a position to make comparisons. The version marked as CDJR-1 A Reissue is the one I have filed in my CD collection and it seems to me it is the one to have. The third version I have was burned from my copy of the vinyl LP; and, as far as I am aware, it has never circulated. *The stereo balance issue noted in the album credits above is puzzling. Bill was a real stereo blend hawk.William Howard Gehman (1939-2007)Carol Margaret Levin (1941-2020)<a href="https://c.im/tags/bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bandcamp</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/barbarahyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barbarahyde</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/billgehman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billgehman</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborovermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brattleborovermont</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/carollevin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carollevin</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/chelseahouserecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chelseahouserecords</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/connecticutbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#connecticutbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/connecticutmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#connecticutmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hartfordbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hartfordbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hartfordmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hartfordmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jacobsreunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jacobsreunion</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/johncoster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johncoster</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicnews</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nemsbk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/peacetrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peacetrain</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/richardblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richardblock</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/sandysayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandysayers</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singersongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singersongwriter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/westbrattleborovermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#westbrattleborovermont</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/yosefoxenhandler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yosefoxenhandler</a> :::

We’re also excited for the return of Guster Beer, the B-stage at Thompson’s Point, Guster “moth” storytellers, and the Kids Zone.On The Ocean is a weekend built around community, a chance to celebrate music and positivity with other humans who own multiple Guster shirts.Source: Guster, "On the Ocean 2024 in Portland Maine," April 2, 2024.:Music Museum of New England Guster article<a href="https://www.mmone.org/guster/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mmone.org/guster/</a>:<a href="https://c.im/tags/gracepotter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gracepotter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gusband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gusband</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guster</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gustheband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gustheband</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/kevinmorby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kevinmorby</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/lostandgoneforever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lostandgoneforever</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mmone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mmone</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicmuseumofnewengland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicmuseumofnewengland</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicnews</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nemsbk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandrock</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ontheoceanfestival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ontheoceanfestival</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/portlandmaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portlandmaine</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singersongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singersongwriter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/statetheatre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#statetheatre</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/statetheatreportlandmaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#statetheatreportlandmaine</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/sunnywar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sunnywar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thedip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thedip</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thedipband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thedipband</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thestatetheatreportlandmaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thestatetheatreportlandmaine</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thewolffsisters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thewolffsisters</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thompsonspointmaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thompsonspointmaine</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/toadthewetsprocket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toadthewetsprocket</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/trousdale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trousdale</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/wolffsisters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wolffsisters</a> :::

Alan LewisSARA HALLIE RICHARDSON "BLACKBIRD"The Beatles 1968/Portland Maine 2018 by The Maine Embassy<a href="https://themaineembassy.bandcamp.com/album/the-beatles-1968-portland-maine-2018" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://themaineembassy.bandcamp.com/album/the-beatles-1968-portland-maine-2018</a>You can listen to "Blackbird" by Sara Hallie Richardson, Track 11 here. Evidently, though, the Maine Embassy will not allow people to purchase individual tracks. I will never understand artists and labels devising ways NOT to sell music. Be that as it may, this collection has enough fantastic tracks to make buying the whole album well worth the price.Sara Hallie Richardson's recording is one of my favorite "Blackbird" interpretations and it is among the best cuts in this collection.If you like tracks here, you owe it to yourself to track down "Don't Pass Me By" by Darien Brahms, which is on "Greetings From Area Code 207 Vol. 5" (CD, Cornmeal Records, 2004).Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey is quite particular in saying that he does not do covers: - he does interpretations. I follow his lead in making this distinction.:<a href="https://c.im/tags/bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bandcamp</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cornmealrecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cornmealrecords</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/darienbrahms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darienbrahms</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dontpassmeby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dontpassmeby</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gfac207" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gfac207</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/greetingsfromareacode207" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greetingsfromareacode207</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mainebands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mainebands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/maineembassy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maineembassy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mainemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mainemusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nemsbk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandbands</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newenglandmusic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/petermulvey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#petermulvey</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/portlandmaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portlandmaine</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/sarahallierichardson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sarahallierichardson</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singersongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singersongwriter</a> :::
