Been awhile since I heard that. They really get into the dance moves at the end.

Great piece, and more of his live works at the tube. This is clawing at me-- was he the performer in that somewhat cheesy Patrick Swasey bouncer flick?

 

[ejoker]

yup, he was in roadhouse (and did some of the soundtrack), and it was more than somewhat cheesy. i saw healey live a few times, and he really was a great performer.

Thanks. Yeah definitely Kraft macaroni worthy. Healey had that something, IT, that draws you in along with the touch.

In loving memory of Don Van Vliet (aka: Captain Beefheart) January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010, this was the first song of his I heard when I was a 'tweenager'... from his debut album "Safe as Milk" [1967]

I met Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa at the Detroit Metro airport when I was 14 (1972) They were on the same flight as my aunt who flew in from LA. I spoke to them near the baggage pickup. A small teenage brush with fame.

Very cool!! I grew up in CA and Zappa lived a few miles away, but never got to meet him...

Here's a little gem for you from about 1967/68:





NOTE: The part about 'playing the car' is a reference to FZ playing a bicycle on The Steve Allen Show back in 1963 (he was 22 then)
