Off: Hawkwind Moments

[Tom Clark]

For what it's worth..a report from the nether regions of this planet....

Thought I had to share this with you...as a fellow Hawkfan who happens to
live in a relatively musically deprived area and a bit far away to be close
enough to a large city where one can indulge in various flavors of music
besides coutry and cajun music...

Consider this for a moment....a small town in southern Louisiana...

A local cover band (among two ino town who play rock and roll) playing
ZZTop, Grand Funk, and a particular Fleetwood Mac song - Dreams....

Of course, during the time I have lived here (12 years) , I have managed to
turn a few people on to Hawkwind music.  As the  played  the "Dreams" song,
a table of us broke out in the midst of it with the chorus to "Spirit of the
Age".  The singer did as well.   It fit quite nicely, despite some strange
looks amongst the regular clientele , but most definitely brought back
memories of Brixton....a very strange and joyous moment indeed!

Whatever....just happily keeping the spirit alive here in southern bumfeck
egypt.....

Have a great day!

Tom

OT: Dan Ductor...if you are still here on the list, I'll be in LA for 10
days from the  24th onward ....my computer crashed a month ago, and I lost
all previous e-mail addresses backed everyithing else up except e-mails...go
figger........let's  meet up and check out some gigs there if anything is
happening there at the time, or have a beer or two and catch up....
