OHO

For those interested in this sort of thing, here is our most recent recording of "28721" (the average number of days in a human life; this number may have gone down over the last year but you get the idea). Some will note that often my songs don't have what are considered traditional choruses, at least as regards lyrics, where a lyrical/musical "hook" is repeated, usually after the verses and/or bridges (if any).

Thinking to amuse by occasionally providing tracks from the Just Jay "Steps" compilation CD, accompanied by a short narrative and some related images, we begin with Trixy & The Testones' punkish, 1978 recording of the Chuck Barris-penned "Palisades Park" (made hit-worthy by Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon). The Testones did perform from…

OHO and Millstone Cellars

(from http://www.millstonecellars.com/)

MillStone Cellars is a farmhouse cidery that crafts all oak barrel-aged dry ciders. We focus solely on the production of rustic style ciders, cysers and meads, heavily influenced by the native yeast, microbes and local growing conditions. We source all of our ingredients within 150 miles of our cidery as well as growing and foraging our own. We strive to distill and preserve all things that make our…

. . . abides. . .

On your mark get set

Disconnect that internet

Every girl and boy

Breathing in the joy

Not a care at last

Sit outside and bask

In rays of summer's bliss

Crabs and fish and shells

Feel your tensions melt

Fries and pizza pie

Smiles won't be denied

Everything is cool

in 2 1 8 4 2

Feel the sparkle in your eyes

Catch a wave and ride

Cars and motorbikes

Bikini babes in the sand

Vibin' to rockin' bands

Ocean City

From Memorial to Labor Day

We beckon you to play

To a boardwalk beat

Miles…

Another Jon Considine-conceived OHO logo, this time on a box he generously built to house and transport Mark O'Connor's Arp Odyssey synth circa 1974-77. This is what it looked like 20 years later. Sadly, it is no more. Still, we like this photo--says something about "persistence."
