| TOM JONES HOSPITALIZED IN MONACO! Posted: 29 Aug 2011 09:48 PM PDT  Tom Jones Officials in the tiny principality said the 71-year-old singer was undergoing treatment at the Princess Grace hospital but had left the emergency room as his "condition does not cause concern". The singer's official website said he had been taken to hospital suffering from "severe dehydration," dismissing newspaper reports that he was suffering from heart problems. "Sir Tom was ordered not to perform in Monte Carlo yesterday evening, due to severe dehydration. Some say it was a heart condition... Either way...GET WELL SOON SIR TOM! Help Yourself is one of Kimmer's favorites..... "This was extremely disappointing for Tom, the band and all connected with the tour. This was the last date of a very successful three month tour, where many of the shows were in locations that were in the throes of high summer heat. FULL STORY HERE  |

Posted: 29 Aug 2011 07:54 PM PDT  Deniz Tek at the Bell House.... photo Amy Verdon  Deniz Tek with Art and Steve Godoy SPG Keith Streng Photo Above: Nancy Farris What a giant drag to have flown all the way from Montana (Deniz) Van Couver CA (Art) and South California (Steve) just to have a giant hurricane huff and puff and blow the house down.... At least the guys got one show in at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NY. So enjoy these videos they are the best we have for now..... Lucky for us we got some quick video to share.... Deniz told me that a really great videographer shot this shot and he will get links to me to share with my readers asap.  |
| SCOTT MORGAN ON MICHIGAN ROCK N ROLL.... Posted: 29 Aug 2011 07:35 PM PDT  Scott Morgan Ron Asheton Deniz Tek (Dear RK readers....Scott doesn't use caps.... :) all of the michigan bands had a healthy sense of camaraderie. when i walked in to forsythe junior high ron asheton had just arrived from iowa. when i walked into pioneer high bob seger and deon jackson were walking out. literally.  when the detroit wheels came to ann arbor we were right there and when they needed a sound system to play the armory we got one from the prime movers. we were like joined at the hip. terry knight and the pack, dick wagner, grand funk, ? and the mysterians. all somehow connected.  so this brings me to my point. we not only shared camaraderie but it could get even more interesting. when i first saw the mc5 at plymouth high school i ended up talking with wayne kramer. he said fred smith was trying to get his hair as long as brian jones. well there's a light going off at that moment. both the five and the rationals were doing ramblin rose by ted taylor. wayne suggested we trade that song to them and we could have i put a spell on you by screaming jay hawkins.. Here have a listen at Sonic's Rendezvous' I Believe to my Soul we did and it worked out well for both bands. but it didn't stop there. we ripped i believe to my soul from the five and tore it up pretty well. next at wayne's suggestion fred smith and i started a band that was to become a historical event. we hooked up with scott asheton, ron cooke, and gary rasmussen to clinch the deal. we had the wires so tangles up no one could figure it out but us. now that's just michigan. the rest of the world was now fair game. the who, beatles, stones, yardbirds, pretty things....i guess that's enough for now.
