A giveaway I won from @johnnierayco and a surprise tester sample of an unreleased scent that’s coming out (not sure when). They both smell amazing. Opinions will be in comments. #mysteryoil #testeroil #beardedmen #johnnieray #johnnierays #beardbalm #beardbutter #calm #relax #gingerbeard #irishbeard https://www.instagram.com/p/CqT4oYopPeC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: LOST & FOUND VOL. 2 AMERICANA & THE GREAT BEYOND—For cosmic cowboys, misfits mystics, desert wanderers, and noir poets... I'm thrilled to present #2 in a series of recordings "lost" and found--music that deserves rediscovery and fresh hearings.

Vol. 2 emphasizes Americana, folk rock, country rock, and acoustic-oriented music with me + (alphabetically) Brian Belknap, evinrude (a.k.a. Kevin Spyker), Ron Fleeger & the Lucky 7, Davy Jones (Monkees), Ben Kaplan, Buddy & Julie Miller, The Pick-Ups, The Third National Band (a Mike Nesmith tribute), Allie Weiler, and more (alter egos, rehearsals). With musical cameos from Chris Andrews (Roger Daltrey, Fleur de Lys), Tim Breon, Bill Engel, Skip Kline, Bill Matlack, Jr., Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family), Gary Owen, Rusty Richards (Brian Wilson), Easy Mark Tomeo, Felipe Torres (David Cassidy, Monkees), & other notables.

In this episode of Reflections of a Horologist I was keen to try a moving collage as the narrative, Stewarding on the ‘Strathmore’ ship to Australia in the late 1950′s, is about a journey not so much a destination. The Horologist (John) tells the story constantly and year after year, but it’s never about the destination much (though on occasion) but more about being on the ship. I had the idea of having the ship sail across the collage and after that something of Yael Bartana, “Tashlikh (Cast Off)”, 2017 installation (see previous blog entry) made me think to have his Navy Cap float slowly and in a circular motion (like a propeller) around the collage. The music is from a 78 record of John’s which I had to record with a mic from a suitcase record player. I could add, certainly old ships thudding engine noise appeals and if I can locate letters and paperwork I will probably extend the piece. The postcards were found on eBay except for the colour ship sailing across which was a postcard of John’s. The clock is a ship Bulkhead Clock found in John’s workshop broken, I had it fixed.

“Poor old Johnnie Ray sounded sad upon the radio / He moved a million hearts in mono.” – “Come On Eileen,” Dexy’s Midnight Runners, 1982. Picture: Johnnie Ray (January 10, 1927 – February 24, 1990), 1952. Johnnie Ray, who was born ninety years ago today, was an influential American singer, songwriter, and pianist whose career in America largely ended in the early 1960s. As one critic explained, Ray, who was left partially deaf after a childhood accident, was “a sensation in the 1950s, the heart-wrenching vocal delivery of [his biggest hit] ‘Cry’…influenced many acts including Elvis and was the prime target for teen hysteria in the pre-Presley days.” Between 1952 and 1957, Ray dominated the pop charts with hits including “Cry,” “Please Mr. Sun,” and “Such a Night,” and his on-stage theatrics—including tearing at his hair, falling to the floor, and crying—earned him the nicknames of “Mr. Emotion” and “The Prince of Wails.” For various reasons, including rumors about his sexuality, Ray’s stardom in America declined by 1960, though he remained successful in Europe and Australia until his death. In 1951, before he gained any real fame, Ray was arrested for soliciting an undercover vice squad officer; as was customary, he avoided a public trial by pleading guilty and paying a fine. In the mid-1950s, Ray married the daughter of the owner of a popular nightclub, though she was by all accounts aware of his sexuality; the marriage lasted just two years. In 1959, Ray was again arrested for solicitation, though he took the second charge to trial and was found not guilty. In his later years, Ray maintained friendships with gay icons including Judy Garland and Charles Pierce, and Ray was friendly with members of the Los Angeles gay activist community. Johnnie Ray died of liver failure on February 24, 1990; he was sixty-three. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #JohnnieRay

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Cry” by Davy Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc-wUPJ1LX4  …Johnnie Ray on a stage was like a punk rocker in a lounge singer's body. His style crossed Billie Holiday-jazz-vocalese with blues and pop standards, foreshadowing rock'n'roll and modern r'n'b. Ray’s “Cry,” a chartbuster in 1951, is an instruction on feeling your pain, letting it out, and finding the light “behind the cloudy skies.” Davy Jones was a big fan of Ray, and he remade “Cry” for his 2009 SHE album. He also wanted to produce a musical about Ray. Covering "Cry" was an obvious move. For me it's the star of SHE—a recording with that mystique that comes when lyrical intent, sounds, and raw feelings push into a timeless realm. The stunning orchestrations by Chris Andrews and Skip Kline blend perfectly with Davy's powerful vocal--arguably one of the strongest in his career.

During my "comeback" after a career that never was, I will be singing, inter alia, some Johnnie Ray and Frankie Laine. "Pack of wild horses" came to mind when seeing these. #johnnieray #frankielaine #horses #miniaturewatercolors #fredcowie #professionalartist #lastchancelifecoach #helenamontana
