NCTV, Northampton, MA community access television station, has been airing some of my original bumper videos I gave them . Last week they played four clips. Here is a brief description of each one:
The first one was called “Wet Feet,” a video of me talking about my ’scrapbook of madness’ and how I was forced to remove the line about ’smooth feet’ and change it to ‘feet amore.’ This lead into a snippet of Hemoglobin’s (a band I was in) song “Wet Feet.”
The next video was entitled “Demo/Rodedo.” I talk about the graffiti written along one of Northampton State Hospital buildings. “Demo” means ‘demolition,’ or one of the buildings S&R was planning to tear down. The graffiti reminds me of my song “Demo/Rodedo,” off my Primitive Vibes CD. “Rededo,” as i say in the video, reminds me of a samurai warrior, or, “something you can buy @ a Japanese restaurant”. This segues to the very song itself, featuring some video footage of a chef @ the hibachi grille at Northampton’s Osaka Japanese restaurant.
The next one was Mr. Ron’s “Ghost Riders In The Sky,” originally sung by Vaughn Monroe. I actually never saw this one being aired but I gave it to NCTV on the same disc w/ the others…hmmmm?
The last one (and the one posted above) was grandma Alice singing “Little Sir Echo,” a novelty song sung by such performers as Bing Crosby, Guy Lombardo and The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
