Tomas, that was so much fun. I loved all the songs especially Dream a Little Dream and I really liked Summer Rain. I know I will watch it quite a few times just to listen to the music. It just feels like they are playing in my living room. It was fun to see everyone in the chat and trying to keep up, it was moving so fast. I was surprised to find out that Mona was the one who designed the album cover for Duo Sessions II, it is very cool. Can’t wait for the Christmas livestream.

I like this video and this version of the theme to The Munsters television series.

Ed Gein was a real life monster, a psycho killer and grave robber who inspired (doesn’t seem like the right word) a few Hollywood horror movies including Psycho and Deranged. He was from my neck of the woods in Plainfield Wisconsin USA. A small farming community where everyone knew everyone else including Ed Gein. He was a little ahead of my time but I heard plenty of stories about him, some fabricated but some stories were true. One particular story I read in a book was how Ed was a friendly and cordial neighbor who would often share gifts of venison (deer meat) with his neighbors. After he was caught and arrested and all the facts became public knowledge, there was evidence of human body parts in his refrigerator and a human heart in a pan on his stove. People then realized Ed was one of only a few men in town that didn’t hunt deer. It was one of the reasons he was caught and convicted of killing a female hardware store owner. He had stopped there during deer hunting season to buy something and police found the receipt.
So what was in the packages of venison he gave to his neighbors? Sickening but true. I have been in the town of Plainfield a few times and it always gives me a weird feeling, like his spirit is still there. If you are interested, read his Wikipedia biography. A strange man and real life monster.

One of the coolest “monster” songs ever. The late great Warren Zevon and Werewolves of London.

One of my favorite “monster ” songs, Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult

I think you are a few years younger than me David, I remember the names of these TV shows but I grew up before the educational TV shows were popular on PBS. When I was little our TV reception was limited to CBS from La Crosse WI or NBC from Eau Claire WI, and then sometimes we would have to go up on the roof and turn the antennae to get a clearer picture, Lol. I’m afraid the children’s programming was limited to Saturday morning cartoons that are now deemed unfit for kids, Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear, all the classics. Sometimes during the holidays they would air children’s shows in the evening, mostly Charlie Brown specials like The Great Pumpkin.

David, this is Butch Patrick at the cars show in Iola Wisconsin this summer. From left is my nephew Chuck and his wife April, My niece Wanitta (Chuck’s sister) and Butch. He brought Grandpa Munster’s coffin Dragster to the car show. I wished I would have went this year.

David, I liked the Captain Kangaroo show but like you it was the rabbit, Mr. Moose and the Dancing Bear that were disturbing. Bill Cosby also played some bit parts on that show that are kind of disturbing now, Lol. I did notice Butch Patrick’s name on the credits. About a month ago was the very popular Iola Car Show in Iola WI. It’s one of the oldest and biggest car shows in the upper midwest. Two of the celebrity guests this year were Butch Patrick and Jerry Mathers (Beaver Cleaver). I didn’t go this year but have gone in the past and some friends went this year and got pic’s and autographs. Mather’s charged money for his but Butch’s were free. The said he was very friendly to the fans.

Jacki, I would never intentionally belittle anyone for any of their conditions or beliefs, and if I do I hope you scold me good. I had the bejeezes scared out of me plenty of times when I was a kid, mostly by my older relatives. There was an old lady that lived down the road that always dressed as a witch for Halloween. She didn’t need make up, just her black dress and hat. She wore little round glasses and a big hooked nose (real). She walked bent over and naturally spoke like a witch. She was in her 80’s when I first met her. We trick or treated her house and when she opened the door I took off running for home. I never went back until I was older. I found out that was the best place to stop and we always made it our last stop because she always fed us cookies, caramel apples and played games. We never felt like eating anymore candy after leaving her house, our bellies were full. She was so much fun. Later, I married her great grand daughter. She lived to be 107 and lived her last 10 years in a nursing home still very spry. She had a small refrigerator in her room and always kept a 6 pack of Blatz beer in it. When I and my wife would visit, Granny Peck would yell (She was hard of hearing) “Do you want a beer Arnold, well grab one for both of us”. She knew I was an Arnold but couldn’t remember which one, Lol. Great old lady, I miss her.
I don’t really like the scary movies either. I like the old campy Hollywood movies from the 40’s and 50’s where you can tell it’s all fake and the old special effects. I hope you have a great and fun Halloween. I enjoy reading all of your groovy posts and enjoyed your video question at the livestream, take care.

David, I don’t remember that show or at least don’t remember watching it. I can see how it would induce nightmares. It’s funny but I enjoyed shows like The Munsters or The Adams Family but the ones that freaked me out were the ones with clowns like Bozo or Captain Kamgaroo.

Member14/10/2023 at 16:16 in reply to: My favourite Beatles song, the official video got even betterBud, I really like the addition of Billy Preston’s piano on the Beatles records, especially Get Back. I didn’t appreciate Billy’s solo talents when he had his own string of hits including Will It Go Round In Circles and Nothing From Nothing. I seen him on a recent YouTube upload of The Midnight Special from 1973 and where Billy performed some of his solo stuff and he blew me away, what an amazing musician. The White album is maybe my favorite Beatles albums, more for all those great album tracks than the hits. I will add to your list with a few of my favorites, how about Bungalow Bill, I’m So Tired, Piggies, Birthday, I Will, Helter Skelter , Don’t Pass Me By. And I will add some music to this thread with another White Album favorite, John’s Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Someone should make a video for this song.

That was my point in asking about straining her throat singing like that at the Cavern Club. In the real up tempo songs like Revolution, My Generation or many others she has some serious adrenaline going on and probably doesn’t even realize it. Just look at the pick guard of her Martin or the gouged out body of her Epiphone. She really gives her guitars, and her vocal chords a workout. Makes me 🙂.

Member12/10/2023 at 20:50 in reply to: My favourite Beatles song, the official video got even betterBud, All four of the Beatles produced so many great songs after the break up. I want to give Ringo some love here too. Ringo it seemed was the “happy” Beatle. He just always seemed to love playing the music and still gets out on the road with his All-Stars, still spreading his message of peace and love. I love this song and video brings back some memories with a lot of cool video clips and pictures. https://youtu.be/IhDKHo2wapM?feature=shared

Member12/10/2023 at 20:01 in reply to: My favourite Beatles song, the official video got even betterHaha, I think the cops are enjoying the show too, they are taking their time. The one looks at his watch, he’s probably wondering how long they got before their Captain calls and says “I told you to break them up”. Little did they know it would be the end of an era.
Here’s another one that is very underrated. An early one from their first album that I’ve always loved. It has a 50’s vibe to it and is one of those songs that reminds me of a teenage relationship that has come to an end. I think we’ve all been through those. What really grabs me is John’s incredible vocals, so much power and feeling. https://youtu.be/b3zNKWyLfus?feature=shared
