PeeWee passed a while back, John married well and is in England, and I am now a widower in Boulder Colorado. TK cannot leave Hollywood. Our short journey was terrific fun, and I think we did a couple of good tunes. Thanks to all who have liked them. <br /><br /><br /><br />surly Ralph.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763422173947983900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-6009357947166365982014-01-31T08:16:48.538-08:002014-01-31T08:16:48.538-08:00I am touched by your interest in my old bands.

When I first got set up with my computer so I could record and digitize my lps (and assorted cassettes), SOME PEOPLE WILL DRINK ANYTHING was one of the first albums I moved from vinyl to my iTunes library. I never saw or heard any previous or subsequent Christopher Milk records, so I can't compare their worth to the album or vice versa...I just know I love that album. (I did in recent years find DYNAMITE on Youtube, so I recorded that and added it to my C. Milk playlist in iTunes.)Robert Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-48909330952779468512013-05-25T19:37:48.999-07:002013-05-25T19:37:48.999-07:00Thanks for the feedback.

Thans for the context, the memories... <br /><br />What a smal world, I play the music of T.

I still dig it out from time-to-time & it still holds up. <br /><br />Your description of the LP is spot on & I pretty much reacted to it in the same way.<br /><br />There was a final Reprise single. A straight-forward version of Terry Reid's "Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace" on one side, backed by a Bonzo-worthy parodic take on the Beatles' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (which made such an impression on me that my mid-70's proto-punk band, the Nervebreakers covered & aped the Christopher Milk spirit of the tune.) <br /><br />Thanks for the remembrance.T.
