| Posted: 02 Apr 2011 10:57 AM PDT  Love this... Dick Wagner is thanking me?? Thank you Dick! What a weekend at Kimmer's rancho deluxe! Yesterday Dick Wagner phoned in from his home in warm Arizona. Great to hear his voice and we talked music for awhile. We talked about guitars and the music scene around Ann Arbor during the days of the Gallup Park Sunday Free Concerts. When I was like 14-16yrs the Rainbow People's Party through these huge shows on Sundays in the summer. This is where I first saw (The) Frost and out front was genius guitarist, songwriter, arranger, vocalist Dick Wagner. We both had really long hair back then!!! LOL On my record player I wore out a few copies of Rock n Roll Music and Frost Music too. Playing that song right now still makes me wanna jump up and dance around my room! An anthem for my life to be sure. Dick Wagner's music never ages or loses it's edge.  Ever listen to Dick's lyrics? I absolutely love the way he writes about women. Most of the girls are in a positive light and then some not so much..... "Insatiable Girl" is one of my favorites from the Full Meltdown CD that Dick just sent to me. Also "She Said" is just beautiful "Jenny Lee" is another favorite from Dick and Frost... "Take My Hand" (I'll take you anywhere..." is another hot Dick song...  |
| KJ KNIGHT'S NEW BOOK "KNIGHT MOVES" ARRIVED TODAY! Posted: 02 Apr 2011 10:23 AM PDT  I met KJ Knight last year via the telephone and internet. KJ was writing his autobiography and forwarded me his manuscript. I was one of the lucky few to read this cool book well in advance. It was published February 25, 2011. The crazy thing was the fact that I couldn't share the book with anyone and I didn't even retell any of his stories! There are tons of exciting stories in "Knight Moves" too! But I kept it to myself. Now.... It is finally published and you can get a copy of it from my Amazon Store link below. Knight Moves: The K J Knight Story recounts the fascinating tale of a miscreant young rock drummer growing up in the Motor City during the 1960s and 70s-a dynamic time period in rock and roll history. This is also the story of a teenage boy whose family is ripped apart by his father's infidelity and the dissolution of his parent's marriage. As his home life quickly deteriorates, he immerses himself in his music, moving from one band to the next. In this no-holds-barred book, author K J Knight describes his life and career, including his repeated acts of juvenile delinquency and the capricious nature of the music scene, not only in Detroit, but all across the country.  KJ is such a great guy! Look who is on his fabulous list!! OMG KJ told me he was going to add me to his thank you page and there it is... LOL love the red arrow? ;) So gang... plz go and buy KJ's book it is a WILD RIDE for sure.... You won't believe this guy's life! I couldn't believe that sweet guy talking to me on the phone was ALSO that wild rock drummer in this book! WOW  Also in the Kimmer mailbox with KJ's book was a super fine pair of autographed Zildjian drumsticks! KJ remembered my request to add his sticks to my ever growing collection of autographed rock drum sticks. KJ's sticks will be includedin a gallery of very fine rock drumsticks of my friends Johnny "Bee" Badanjek, Machinegun Thompson, Tino Gross, Steve Godoy, Tony Bojanic and many more... Thanks so much KJ!!! xxooK  |
| RETRO KIMMER: LOVELY GIFT FROM DOLLYE Posted: 02 Apr 2011 10:04 AM PDT  What a great day to be Kimmer! I have to say that in the three years of creating the RK blog my snail mailbox has become the most awesome place to visit! You would not believe the gifts I receive from readers, friends, musicians and artists too. Just amazing.... I am so grateful for the love and joy that comes back to me from this ongoing adventure. Even a sad event turned into joy today. In my mailbox was a large package from (BIG) Rich and Dollye Dorris. Dollye saw my post on facebook about losing my 2 year old black kitty Kirby. Dollye didn't comment on the thread but....  While shopping around her town Dollye spied this incredible print and bought it for me. She loved the black cat sitting in the canoe. It reminded her of my baby Kirby. I had recently taken a print down from my wall and gave it to one of my favorite people of all time. With that picture missing there was the perfect spot complete with nail waiting for this print to arrive! Fits perfectly there... Kirby is back home with us again. Thank you Dollye so much! I love this gift so much. XXOOK    |
