what guitars are you selling
This one is for Tim:
Oh, btw that is Rocky Burnette behind me.
A heck of a nice guy too. I was lucky to sit and talk to him about the old days in Memphis; Crown Electric, Elvis, and the infamous Burnette Bros. vs Perkins Bros fist fight. I got to sing Johnny B Goode with him and the band, it was by far the cool…
Well, the one song I saw was great. I had to leave unexpectedly due to some "excitement".

- About Me
- I used to play in bands but I became exasperated with other flakey musicians and losing friends over creative differences. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it. I used to DJ at the Melody Inn before it became a destination, lots of other places too. I still write songs and get together to pick with friends. I do a lot of self satisfying at home concerts for myself. These days I write and take pics for Greasy Kulture Magazine as my creative outlet. I also spend time with my two kids, family and friends. I am an avid record collector, guitar collector/tinkerer and reader of music history. My day job is not a cool one, but it pays the bills and lets me enjoy life. Isn't that what it is all really about? Some bands that have covered my songs include Ethyl and The Regulars (Denver), The Dixons (NYC), Scotty and The Stampeders (Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany) and The Wakefields (Seattle). I put out a CD in 2000 on ShakeIt! records. It can still be purchased on iTunes and cutout bins everywhere. Apparently we sold very well in Holland. I am convinced it is because everyone there smokes pot. Nonetheless, putting out a recording and having other people dig my songs definately has been the most satisfying part of playing music for me.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- Spaceship Beelzebub, 3 On The Tree, Thom & Shellie & Eric, The 40 Watts, The Crown Hill Deacons, The Tip-Top Daddies, The Jive Rockets, The Roundups, The Mess Arounds. I have also been an occasional drummer for Mandy Marie, Mustard Wilson and Slick Andrews (also rhythm guitar).

- Hey E,
Sorry about that, a certain person in my household suddenly went from being in a very good mood to being in a very bad mood (I'm sure that somewhere in your dealings with the opposite sex you've experienced this phenomenon). We should get together soon.
Jeff

Martin Joseph Green said… - Hi Eric. we're friends now. So... I want no cussing! No derogatory sarcasm! I demand absolute gentlemanly behavior! Words that end in ism can be avoided. The word tith or tithe, I dont know about that word. Have you heard the musical houses yet? Christmas music with lights that flash in time. And airplane food... I mean... what's with airplane food?

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
