"THE DPJ" - Part Two
I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS CALLED. I know that he identified it at least once, but how do you write down that title if you're clueless how it's spelled...or even remember at all?
Yes, my friend had unknowingly sent me the closing theme to a radio show I had listened to, and loved, a full generation earlier (in the 1986 to 1989 era...it continued a while after that with somebody else, but Brent was the "really good host"). OK, that's pretty surprising, yeah?? I'm not done yet.
(and here I'll quote my two sisters, and a female cousin, all teenagers and older than me, who were all sitting upstairs with me in, like, 1956, and rehearsing the spiel they were ready to give to my parents downstairs, and convince them to take them somewhere. In that case, the below quote was followed with "WE * WANT * TO * GO * ROLLER * SKATING!" - which was said in staccato words while they all contorted their hands and arms like Egyptian dancers. It was SOOOO funny when it happened. IMPRINTED in my brain.)
[RICH and PETER: I can "demonstrate" this next time I'm in Joyzee.]
I'll follow this with a very famous TV quote, from the same time era...
************************************"One! Two! Three!
All Set?
YOU BET!!!!"... ["we want to...!!!]********************************************
"...AND AWAAAAAAY WE GO!"
Google is your friend. Google is MY friend.
How could I resist putting Gymnopedie and "Brave New Waves" into the Google Tube And Chicken-Wire Machine? RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOUR TWO SEARCH TERMS WILL BE ASSIMILATED. I put those terms into the byzantine mechanism that is sometimes called an "Intern Net" or something, then it happened...it took me to somebody's blog site.
I'm not even sure if this is still possible, considering how people change their pages, take stuff down, etc. - but at least at this momentary sliver-of-time...IT WAS THERE.
It was some guy in Toronto, who used to listen to Brave New Waves, and he mentioned that Gymnopedie No. 1 was usually the lead-out end of the show. Toronto, yes, in a foreign country. If there was any navigation to his back blog pages, I never found it. He was talking about this show, and there were only six blog entries on the only page I could reach.
GET THIS: his fifth blog entry that I saw was...
AN ENTRY ABOUT THE HAAS "ALBUQUERQUE" PHOTO AND A PICTURE OF IT!
Yes, I remind you...he was in a foreign country and half a continent away from Albuquerque.
Nothing I will ever do or see can possibly top this strange chain of tie-ins.
And...GUESS WHAT? My film friend (and former escort) will be visiting me in much less than 24 hours! His third time out here. I can hardly wait. Let the film festival begin!
(Well, the length of THIS means that the phone call I thought I might make to you tonight, is certainly shot zappity blazes to hell, haha.)

A copy of the "Albuquerque" poster, fully framed, now hangs in my house, after I was out there in October 2014. It cost me $106. It was worth every penny of that.
