Hey Mark; that one in the lower right with the woman gazing fondly downward...does that title really say "Organ Fascination"????

"organ fascination" seems to have been the "thing" during that period.....that and midgets!

[sheldonm]

I think I'm in love with Joyce.

...and who wouldn't be???

As it was written, so it was done. At approximately 9:30 AM this morning, the judge signed my decree and I became Stephanie Erin Thomas all legal like and proper, and with that the end of the life and times of stephen e thomas. He was a good man, but he was never the real me.

And they BOTH hated Joyce!

[Ron S]

But none of those people know Joyce like WE know her, or have any idea about her fascination with midget organs.

Has anyone mentioned Attila? This was Billy Joel's band in 1970. The cover shows him dressed as a hun.

Here's the Allmusic review:

Many critics, fans, and college students have spent hours debating the serious question of what the worst album in the history of rock actually is. One listen to Attila would provide them with a definitive answer. Attila undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock & roll — hell, the history of recorded music itself. There have been many bad ideas in rock, but none match the colossal stupidity of Attila. There's a reason why they're the only heavy rock organ-and-drums duo in the history of rock & roll — it's an atrocious combination. Organ and drum combos work well in jazz, because the musicians know how to balance the dynamics of the two instruments, but in this group of Huns, it becomes an unbearable, unholy noise. Billy Joel decided that the only way a keyboardist could compete with the guitarists popping up in Hendrix's wake was to rig his organ with piles of effects pedals, Leslie organs, distortion, and wah-wah — and use them all at once while he yells, not sings, and Jon Small flails away haplessly at his drums. It's impossible to make out the riffs, since the organ just sounds like a wall of white noise, and there are no melodies, only shouting. Everything is turned to 11 — because it's one louder than ten, innit? — and even when the group tries out a different, slower style, it still sounds the same, because the instrumentation, attack, and effects never change. By the end of the album, it feels as if a drill has punctured the center of your skull — it's that piercing, painful, and monotonous. Joel has gone on record describing the results as "psychedelic bullsh*t." Remove the word "psychedelic" and you have an accurate description of the album. [by the way, Joel and Small are dressed as Huns on the cover. For some reason, they're standing in a meat locker. It's as if the duo unconsciously knew they were creating the most ridiculous album package in rock & roll history.]

Oh Lord, there's a "Man-O-War" album in there. Those dudes are frickin' weird. I saw a snippet of one of their videos on VH1 (some show about bad metal) and it provided laughter for days!

What was up with those guys?!

That band was from my adopted hometown (West Chicago) and the dad of the guitarist ran the shop that I took piano lessons from. They all lived in two apartments in an apartment complex on the other side of town.

Tis indeed a small world after all.
