Todays look was inspired from a four sided record I was listening to today. Biting down on the boring adult tasks such as washing your dishes, laundry and hair, there is no question that I must have music to get my thru this. So, I laid the needle down on a Allman Brothers record, and they got me thru pain. I love what I was wearing today. I feel like I can hop on the tour bus of Lynyrd Syknyrd, The Allman Brothers, or Hank Williams Jr. and blend in just fine!

I recently found this grey cropped KZAP shirt at a local thrift.
Since I am a total old fogie rocker that in in complete denial that time pressed on after 1985, I got super excited to find this gem.
KZAP 98.5 was formed in the mid 60's as a free form radio station in the Elks Building in downtown Sacramento. From psychedelic rock, funk, jazz to soul, the DJs would pick anything they wanted to share with the audience. They focused on making a beautiful synergy of all types of music for one complete experience. These groovy tunes filled your ears until '72 when the owner of the station passed away. In '73 KZAP became more rock focused.
The new hands of KZAP decided what was best for the station is to develop a 'Super Star' format. This would take down the music library from thousands of amazing songs, to a mere 400.
So this would guarantee the listener would always be in the comfort zone of the Top 40 rock songs. This method was very successful for them as it took listeners from other stations and it built strong customer base.
The swiping of the listeners was crushing surrounding radio stations until 1990, when KROY entered the picture. KZAP got annihilated by KROYs classic rock tunes. On January 20 1992 at midnight, the DJs of KZAP flipped the switch to a fresh country station. But before leaving us, they graced the listeners ears with Harvey Mandels 'Cristo Redentor'
The grand finale of Harvey Mandel playing gently in the background of the listeners minds as they relive their memories of their favorite rock moment, made me think of of one of my favorite movie scenes from Pirate Radio.
Pirate Radio Rock is sinking, DJ 'Gorgeous Gavin' leaves us with Procol Harum 'Whiter shade of pale'
The scene leads into the devastation of the boat, the listeners and the hope of the Radio Rock crew living thru this tragedy .Watch this movie!

Just, chill.

I love music. I love listening to it, I love talking about it and I love connecting with people that share the same interest too.
I'm back, again. I haven't blogged in so long because I just haven't felt like it. I like for my inspirations to happen organically. So when I feel inspired to do so, I would like to share. I have been spending alot of time at Crimson and Clover. I am slowly building my inventory to make an adequate living. With my inventory build, also comes my courage. I am trying to have be positive and patient. But as I am suppose to live a normal live, my brain gets wrapped up in other things. I rather not share, because it's fairly uncomfortable to share with the public but if we ever hang out, let's chat!
What I would like to share with you is some recent pictures of us hanging around Shadow Glen Stables. This is a place on earth where I like to escape, ride horses, observe Hawks,watch Killdeers protect their nests,and snuggle Pygmy Goats.
