In Memoriam Stephen Blackman (D.o.P)
From five years ago on Flickennabok we posted this for Stephen Blackman who passed away some 14 years ago today. Some of you will have registered the photos of yours truly playing the guitar and the little polaroid profile shot were taken by one of my oldest pals the Director of Photography cameraman and all round kindest friend Stephen Blackman and this is for him!

Tuba Skinny - 'Coquette’ [feat. Erika] Philadelphia 8/30/19
"Coquette", written by Johnny Green, Carmen Lombardo & Gus Kahn in 1928 and was a hit for Guy Lombardo, among others.
Erika says: Hi everyone, Erika here, with some unfortunate news. As the rest of the band begins their travels to Europe and the UK, I am home with a bum hip and an upcoming surgery leaving me unable to make the journey. I am especially sad to be missing all of you in the UK as this is the very first time we have been able to secure a tour there, and I was so looking forward to it. I will also be missing our beloved Northeastern tour at the end of Summer as I continue to recover. The link below explains more of my situation if you’d like to read and contribute in any way. Thanks to all of you for your past, present and future support. Couldn’t do it without you! ErikaP.S. Some folks have asked for an option to gofundme, so here is a link to my PayPal:Thank you !Erika needs to go for hip surgery and take time off for recovery without any earnings.Let us rally around her to support and encourage her through this journey. You can give through her GoFundMe or PayPal account.PayPal @erikalewismusic
Girls Gone Rockin' [2010] (3 x CDs) | BUTTERBOY
VA - Girls Gone Rockin' [2010]
Oh you KNOW the gals gone ROCKIN’!
This from Butterboy is a girl led masterpiece!
he says:
75 FABULOUS FEMME ROCKERS
"Fantastic Vogage's Girls Gone Rockin’ brings together seventy‑five recordings made by women who were active during the first wave of rock and roll, rockabilly, and R&B. Heard as a complete set, the collection shows how wide the field really was. The tracks come from small labels, regional studios, and brief careers that often produced only a handful of singles. The result is a long view of the era, shaped by voices that carried rhythm, attitude, and a directness that suited the new sound.
The rockabilly material stands out for its sharp guitar lines and quick tempos, with singers matching the pace through clipped phrasing and tight delivery. The R&B sides bring a different weight, built on stronger backbeats and fuller arrangements. Several tracks lean toward early pop structures, while others sit closer to jump‑blues traditions. Across the set, the variety of approaches shows how flexible the emerging styles were, and how easily they absorbed influences from country, blues, and the teen‑market singles of the period.
Many of the recordings were made in modest studios, and that character remains in the sound. The mixes are dry, the bands are close, and the vocals sit forward. It gives the collection a sense of immediacy, as though each track was cut quickly and sent straight to pressing. The sequencing moves between moods without forcing a narrative, letting the differences in tone, tempo, and arrangement speak for themselves.
Taken together, the seventy‑five tracks form a broad survey of women’s contributions to early rock and roll. The set highlights the range of voices active at the time, from confident leads to rough‑edged performances that capture the energy of the moment. It is a document of the period’s breadth, showing how many directions the music could take when shaped by different singers, studios, and regional scenes. "(Butterboy)

What better way to start the day after learning we had hit SIX MILLION hits!? than with my main man |John Prine - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 4-12-2019 | ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST
John Prine - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 4-12-2019
Prine's music career began with his debut album in 1971. This concert took place near the end of his career. He released the studio album "The Tree of Forgiveness" in 2018. But it would turn out to be the last album released in his lifetime, because he died in April 2020 due to health issues related to the Covid pandemic.
In the leak I mentioned above, Nearly all of the recordings were a single audio or video file in mono. That was the case with this one. I converted the video file to audio, then broke it into individual mp3's.
This album is two hours and 13 minutes long.

R.E.M. : Everybody Hurts - Hyde Park, London | Live 8 2005
I get it, even R.E.M post clips of their appearances and I assume it is so we can visit the full track but the coda or ending of Everybody Hurts seemed somehow sacrilegious! And we have to look to YouTube so . . . meh?!
So anyway here's the whole track to end our day with . . . . .
“Now it’s time to sing along”
