Richie Valens

(May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959)

SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Dancin’ by the River (Tex-Mex Garage Mix)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L14-hl4IEss — The lyrics came from a dream: I saw a clear summer day with a water baptism happening at Pine Creek, a scenic waterway that flows southward through north central Pennsylvania (and shown in this video). There was a romantic undercurrent between a man and a woman, visibly in love and grateful to be getting baptized. Surrounding them was a group of happy people having a festival—kind of like a Grateful Dead concert (minus certain substances). 

This spicy jangly-guitar pop track was inspired by early Beatles, vintage Chicano rock’n’roll, Mexican gangster films, Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman,” and The Everly Brothers’s cover of "Lucille." On a cosmic jukebox it would play next to Richie Valens, Neil Diamond, and The Monkees ("Little Bit Me Little Bit You")—in fact, Davy Jones said it should be “top of the pops.” This recording (mixed by Tim Breon) has gotten airplay around the world and features the drum work of Bill Matlack, Jr. + vocals & percussion by evinrude a.k.a. Kevin Spyker. The song has been in my live set for years, including with Paul Farnham and The Gypsy Lizards, and the band October (with Ron Davis and Chris Haggerty).

On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were all killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. Today is considered the day the music died. These three musicians are a big part of my childhood and the three of them are amazing Singers in my eyes.

Keep heaven rocking guys.

I’m honor of Richie Valens, I drew him.

I have lived through most of the deaths in the tags, except for Buddy Holly. But I still mourn Buddy, Big Bopper, and Richie Valens (who was only 17 when he dies in that horrible plane crash).

Today, I went to the crash site of singer's Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, & the pilot Roger Peterson.

There was so much energy around that area. I sensed Spirit, so I started looking around, and out in the cornfield, I saw two black shadowy figures on each side of the field. I have no idea who they were. But, they were watching us.

There were people around, and I didn't want to make a scene.

I am going to go back with my daughter later this month, and we are going to bring a candle and try to communicate with whomever is there.

I'll let ya know what happens next time.

Pudo ser el nuevo Richie Valens, pero Chan Romero (RIP, 82) se quedó básicamente en "The Hippy Hippy Shake" (Del- Fi 1959). Ese mismo año sacó otro single, y un tercero y un cuarto ya en 1965-66 en una onda actualizada más beat y groovy con algún tema próximo a los Monkees (tren a Clarksville, etc..).

Lástima, porque "Hippy Hippy Shake" es un monumento que versionaron los Beatles, llevaron al nº 2 en 1963 en UK los Swinging Blue Jeans y fue seguro unos años más tarde un bendito sueño húmedo para Billy Childish y sus Milkshakes. Una fantástica canción que apenas fue continuada por la también brillante "My Little Ruby". https://www.plasticosydecibelios.com/muere-chan-romero-el-autor-de-la-famosa-the-hippy-hippy-shake/

As nuvens e suas proezas,

trazendo as chuvas

que fazem reviver os nossos campos, transformando de secos

a verdejantes,

fazem aquela sombra refrescante

durante o sol escaldante,

um balé maravilhoso

com os ventos fortes de cada dia,

é uma espécie de dança de salão,

dois pra lá,

dois pra cá,

também servem de pintura,

deixando o céu azul negro,

branco

ou colorido com os fachos de luz,

as nuvens se tornaram

brincadeira de criança,

ao deitar no chão

e olhar lá em cima suas transformações,

hora é um coelho,

gato

ou cachorro,

em outras um trem,

um avião

ou caminhão,

elas mudam o tempo todo de aparência

só depende da nossa imaginação,

as nuvens trazem vida

e também a morte

dependendo da situação,

raios perigosos,

que avisam sua chegada

depois dos relâmpagos

e dos trovões.

Poema de Jonas R Cezar

Theo’s Buitelingen (59): "Zwaluwziek"

Zwaluwziek als een wat cryptische titel. Het boek uiteindelijk maar eens gekocht. Voor 2 euro in de ramsj. Eerste en enige druk uit 2008. Met als subtitel “leven na een herseninfarct”. Auteur Anthony Mertens. Bij nadere beschouwing dezelfde Tonnie Mertens van drogisterij Mertens op de Eindhovense Hoogstraat. De zoon van Mientje van der Velden, mijn moeder had nog ooit bij haar als poetsvrouw…
