Subject: Where to get Survival

I got a couple of messages this weekend asking where I ordered my Survival CD
so I thought I'd post a general message in case anyone else is interested.

I got Survival from www.cduniverse.com.  You can also find it at www.cdnow.com,
but they're a few dollars more; the only reason you might want to use them is
that they accept AmEx while CDUniverse accepts Visa and MC only.  It's an
import, so it's $22.93; add $2.99 shipping & handling and the total comes to
$25.92.  I ordered last Saturday and received it this Saturday - not a bad
turnaround for mail order.

I'm listening to "All You've Got Is Money" as I type this; pretty relevant with
Tax Day tomorrow (those of you who got refunds this year - I don't want to hear
about it! <g>  The rest of you I'm sure can identify...)

"All they want is all your money.
All they're after is your money.
.... is your money.
All they want is,
All your money.
All they want is ..."

18 days, 10 hours, and counting... ('til LA)

Ken,

I think it's great because I'm a (pseudo) guitar player also. But instead of here
you might want to contact Donna Wightman because she has a whole section
dedicated to GFR tablutare on her website. If you haven't been there yet go check
it out at http://www.meclec.com/grand.

Ken,

I will be writing down the set list for the shows that I'll be attending. So far
that's NY and LA and Vegas. If somebody doesn't do it before me I'll post it out
here.

Subject: The Joint - Vegas gig

Hey Guys - here's an update on 'The Joint" gig at the Hard Rock Hotel,
June 27th - Friday.

Lot's of confusion on the date, was announced for June 28th (Saturday),
due to the Tyson/Holyfield fight they must have decided to move it to
June 27th (Friday).

I was the 3rd person in line at The Joint box office. There were about
12 people in line when they opened at noon. Thanks to information
gleaned for this list and web sites, I was the center of attention. Know
one in line knew about the GMA appearance or the anything about the
other 3 shows. I was more than happy to impart my knowledge ;-)

I got 6 tix in the 10th row in the 'golden circle'. I found out later
that Jim Maijala phoned Ticketmaster from home and got tix in row A.
That's just my luck.

I went back to the Joint on Sunday and confirmed that is the FRONT row!!
Good job Jim. If you stand up you can rest your elbows on the stage. I
paced off the distance for the front door to the stage, it's approx. 120
feet. This place is tiny! Our seats are about 30 feet from the stage.
The seats in the 'golden circle' are fold up chairs. The lady told me
they've sold about 500 tix so far (out of 1400, which included standing
room only tix)

Grand Funk will blow the roof off this place!!!!

HOLY CATS!!!!

I feel like Bob Ueker . . . I'm in the FRONT RRROOOOWWWW!!!!!  I cannot funkin' 
believe it.  Now we really have to get together before the show and after the 
show and during the show and maybe be a part of the show.  We're havin' a party, 
yeah, yeah, everybodies invited.  The new generation (remember, that was us!) 
along with the old.  If you can get with it, just a little more, it don't take 
much tryin', to find out if you got some rock n' roll soul, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!    

Now for some plane tickets and a hotel room.  I love it when a plan comes 
together.

The disc I puchased was NOT an IMPORT, Media play , if you have one had it

This "chat" thing does have it's advantages.  Are any of the people you 
spoke to gonna sign--on?  They must have flipped when you told them about 
the three kick--butt web sites!?!

>I was the 3rd person in line...I got 6 tix in the 10th row...I found out

A...confirmed that is the FRONT row!!

I guess that this is good news and not so good news (same as us over here 
on the right coast with the Beacon).  The up-side of this is that the place 
is only 120 ft. deep!  Sounds like no matter where the heck you sit you're 
either on Brewer's lap or Farner's frett board!  Talk about an intimate 
show! Jim's definately gonna get sweat--on.

Aaaaaahhhhh! Gotta find a (business)reason to get to Vegas that weekend....

Keep it Rockin'

Hi all,

        This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I have two
     new photos up on my site.  They're both of the same "subject" and
     I  hope  you  enjoy  them.  The first shot is in the middle of my
     main page while the second shot is at the bottom of the More Pic-
     tures page.

        Enjoy, and grok in fullness ...

I went to a store here in Columbus, Georgia that still sells records. I
purchased the following: 

Capitol - Starline 45 - Footstompin' Music / Rock and Roll Soul
MCA 45 - Just Could't Wait / Out To Get You
Collectibles - CEMA Special Markets 45 - Closer To Home / The Loco-Motion
Collectibles - CEMA Special Markets 45 - Walk Like A Man / Bad Time

I was totally surprised that these were available. They also had Capitol 45
of Walk Like A Man / The Railroad but I already have that one.

Do this surprise any of you? Where have I been?

This store also is the only place in town that had Closer To Home and E
Pluribus Funk CDs which I immediately purchased. 

On the Train in the South!

 Hey all you Funkatics,
 
 Got some news for ya.  My Michigan Mom (Mich Ma for short) just sent me an 
 article on the one and only Funk.  The article entitled "still the same old 
 Funk" appeared in the Friday 3/28/97 edition of the Traverse City 
 Record-Eagle.  (It just so happens that my Mich Ma lives in Traverse City.)  
 There are some great color photos of the band.  A big shot of Farner good 
 singin' and good playin' from the waste up.  A wide shot of the band and a 
 small shot of Don & Mel (like that rims mounted white set Donnie, and notice 
 the double mounted toms-just like my set, Hey Donnie: Do you give lessons?).  
 These are great shots of them rehearsing in the State Theatre in Traverse 
 City.  The article talks about the shows, the cause all of the stuff we've 
 known about for months.  Much to my surprise the article even discusses stuff 
 that even Phil doesn't know like:  Farner lives in Petosky (knew that); Mel 
 lives in the Traverse Tity area (I didn't know that and I was just up there 
 this past July and nope, I didn't get any); Mel says they burned out working 
 real hard with 2 albums and 2 tours per year & they wanted a life so they 
 stopped; after the Seger thing Donnie turned in his sticks (thank God he 
 picked them up again); Donnie then did law school before deciding it wasn't 
 right for him and when Donnie's ex-wife died he became a full-time single 
 parent; Donnie then retired to raise his daughter; before Farner moved north 
 in '76 he had threats and people weirding out (must have been the Charlie 
 Daniels red neck @*&% fans - this is a reference to the Farner solo concert I 
 went to with the Cat Bro's & the L.I. Boys where Farner opened up and left 
 the stage after he was hit with a bottle by those Charlie Daniels homo 
 hillbillies); here's a quote from the article: 20 yrs. of technological 
 advances have enabled them to improve their sound, but as Farner says, "Grand 
 Funk is Grand Funk" (YES!); Donnie had a skiing accident that put his left 
 foot (hi-hat) in a cast for a time; Mark has a scar on his neck that was from 
 the 2 disks he had removed; the doc told Farner to play a lighter instrument 
 so Mark went with a 5 lb. Parker Fly which can sound like a Strat or a Tele 
 says Mark.  The article gives you the impression that the band is PUMPED for 
 this tour.  They are especially excited about performing with an orchestra 
 (gimme some Loneliness & Shelter too).  There are a number of quotes from Mel 
 too.  Bottom line - great article.  
 
 Between all these road-kill e-mails, articles and TV appearances I'm peaking.                  
 Can't take too much more.  Still have 9 days to go to the Beacon, gotta hold 
 on.  As I sign off "I'm sittin' here lonely like a broken man, serve my time

   Grand Funk 45 RPM records are available here in the Dallas area too.
 Stephen, the best 45 you can get, in my opinion, is the Shinin On or
Locomotion 45 which has on the flip side a song not available on any other GF
LP.  Its called Destitute And Losin.  It took me a few listens when it first
came out in 74 to get into it, but I recorded my Shinin On LP onto a cassette
and put Destitute & Losin after the last song, Little Johnny Hooker.  Man,
the song will blow you away after you get to know it.
   And let me suggest that if you get it and record it, adjust the volume at
the end as it fades out so that it will play back without fading.  The end of
that song is too good to fade out on.
   I highly recommend this rare tune.

Sharon,  Don's okay but, he could use some haircolor "just for men".  Mel on the 
other hand must of had a facelift.  He hasn't aged a day, no pot belly, no gray 
hair,  how does he do that?

PS  I guess that squashes that rumor about Farner living in Denver and kind of

Does anyone know where I can get copies of GFR concerts from the early days?
 Preferably between 1969 to 1972?

E-mail me at:

Thanks,

Subject: Re: The Joint - Vegas gig

Mike,

My wife and I were talking last night, and I happened to mention the GFR show
at the Joint.  She's always wanted to go to Vegas (never been - I've been 3-4
times, but it's been awhile), but I never seriously considered going because
I've already got all my vacation time for this year laid out.  Well, as she
reminded me last night, we'll be on vacation the last week of June/first week
of July and will be in Tulsa (where we can drop the kids off with the
grandparents) and so that would be a great time to head your way.

So... I just got off the phone with Ticketmaster - I've got seats in Tier 2,
row JJ, seats 8-10.  Do you know what Tier 2 is?  Almost sounds like a balcony,
but the Ticketmaster lady said they were floor seats.  Whatever, I can't
imagine a bad seat in a place that only holds 1400.

Bottom line - I'm THERE dude!  I'd appreciate it if you would keep a watch out
for me for any room specials that might show up between now and then.  With the
fight that weekend, I'm thinking prices might be inflated?

My BIG regret at this point is that I didn't think of this sooner!  I could've
been resting my elbows on the stage with Jim! <G>

Robert

I noticed that Mel kept his shades on during the entire show.  People 
usually show signs of aging around their eyes (I know I do).  So maybe Mel 
did his "agelessness" magic with just a pair of shades.  When they're all 
standing on stage near the end of the show there's a shot from Mel's right. 
 Peak behind the glasses and look for those crows feet.

Sharon,  Don's okay but, he could use some haircolor "just for men".  Mel 
on the other hand must of had a facelift.  He hasn't aged a day, no pot 
belly, no gray hair,  how does he do that?Jim

You're about 80 feet from the stage - It's on the main floor.

The room rates here go way up on the weekends. I called the Hard Rock,
all of their rooms are booked for Fri & Sat. So much for rubbing elbows
with the boys in the coffee shop! Check out a site that does
reservations  http://www.lasvegashotel.com/rates.htm  for some price
ranges. We've got some inflatible air mattresses if anyone wants to
crash at my house.

It would be great if they filmed the show. VH-1 is doing some shows in
conjunction with the Hard Rock.

I'll see you in LA to finalize plans to mug . . . er meet up with Jim
and everyone else before the show.

What kind of format will it be?

Do you guys get to ask questions or is there a moderator that asks them.

Subject: L.A. Meeting Place

I think I found a good place to meet. A 19 year old Funk fan from L.A.
(Carla) suggested a nightclub called "The Derby". I called and got their
address and they are on the corner of Los Feliz and Hillhurst, which is
just down the road about 1 mile from the Greek Theater. I was thinking
around 6pm, but if you guys want to meet earlier, let me know and I'll
post it on my site.

Hello Funkaholics, 

The NYC classic rock radio station involved with the Beacon gig, Q104.3, is
auctioning off 2 front row seats which includes back stage passes to "meet
the boys in the band".
The auction starts April 17th at 9:00 AM.

Do we have ultra-rich members on the list who are willing to go-for-it! (Let
me know so that I can start sucking-up to you!)


Bugsy...Alrighta!

You can count me out unles I win the lotto between now and then. Between tickets
and airfare for NY, LA, and Vegas I'm gonna be one hurtin' dude (financially). Of
course I'm gonna love every minute of it!

I just called my Porsche dealer, told him to hold that order on my 928, 
then I called my stock broker and sold 1000 shares of Apple Inc.  That 
should put me in the running!

Truthfully, I'm broke.  I can barely do the Beacon--LA shows.  My wife has 
been VERY understanding up to this point.  Bidding on tickets?  I don't 
think so, Tim!  I'll just sit with my bro' and LI buddies way back in row P 
and suffer.  Besides, I'm hoping some other "meeting" might take place.  
Who knows?

        I  don't  think  I have anything that isn't already at Donna's
     site.  I believe the same fellow that started her e-mailed  me  a
     while  back  with  his  interpretation of Closer To Home and some
     tabs he found for Bad Time and The Loco-Motion (or something like
     that).

        Since  I never quite figured out what to do with them, since I
     didn't have time to compare his lyrics to those  I  have  posted,
     since  I  had a million other things to do that seemed to take up
     most of my time, I just let them sit.

        But, tablatures have always been in  my  site  plan.   What  I
     wanted to do was include a link off of the lyric page to the tab-
     lature page for each song.  But, what's a poor drummer to do? :-(

        Well, Jim, I'll try to accommodate.  But, I guess I'll sort of
     depend on what comes across the list for now and you'll have  the
     same  access  I  do.  If anybody else has any ideas on how tabla-
     tures ought to be formatted on a Web page, I'd love to listen.

        Take care, 4 more days!, grok in fullness ...
