WES BRYAN IN CENTRAL PARK "TRICK PHOTO" TAKEN BY MY MANAGER IN NEW YORK

  I had to really look at this fun photo to recognize it as Wes Bryan, but it is, and probably because he is not so recognizable it was barely used.  His manager at the time took the photos which played up his James Dean-ess and they were distributed in publicity packages to the press by what Wes calls the "United Artists Publicity Machine."   The clue here is the overcoat, as James Dean was famously photographed in one walking around New York City.
 
A copy of this photo has been on sale at e-Bay (and thus the vintage image distortions) for about $25.00 and is rarer than some of the other publicity photos out there.  
 
How'd they do that?

WES BRYAN MY LIFE IN MUSIC E-MAIL HACKED

On June 16th 2013 (two days ago - Fathers Day) our entire contact list was e-mailed from our YAHOO account, indicating the account was hacked.  Those of you who have been in e-mail contact with us from that account will be recieving a new private e-mail from us.  If you got an e-mail from that account DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK that is offered which begins with the word garden in the June 16th, 2013 message.  The message and any message like it IS NOT FROM US.

The hacking will be reported and investigated by the Internet crime unit, while we do damage control from our end.  (You always wonder why someone would risk local, federal,  and sometimes even international criminal charges just to prove they can hack! but as they say "it takes all kinds.") 

For some time we offered you an e-mail address to contact us by and though we had the usual PONZI SCHEME OFFERS, the account was secure.  At this point, we will no longer offer an e-mail account to contact us.  You can still leave a comment and provide your own e-mail address along with a message and we'll go from there.

(376) FRED NEIL : STUDIO MUSICIAN : CAPITOL RECORDS ARTIST

FRED NEIL : What a voice! And a great person!
Freddy was six foot two, a freckled face, red hair. I met him in Saint Petersberg, Florida in December of 1957. He paled around with me and Ersel Hickey in New York and became a real good friend. He was a lot of fun - very comical - a prankster.

One time as I was walking across Broadway with some business people, I heard a loud voice, someone yelling for me with some profanity thrown in. I turned around and there he was, laughing at me. Freddy was turned loose in a big city.

Fred had a couple records on Capitol Records but his claim to fame was the song "Everybody's Talking," the movie Midnight Cowboy's theme song.

NICK VENET WAS THE PRODUCER ON THIS HIT.

Fred signed a contract with Southern Music. a division of Hill and Range, and became a big writer.

I wrote a song for Buddy Knox called "Bye Bye Helloa" and Freddy played all the instruments on the demo. It was recorded in a little studio in the Brill building. Freddy also worked in the studio with Bobby Darin.

HELLO TO NEW FRIENDS USING TRANSLATORS IN FARSI AND ARABIC and A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR RECENT READERSHIP

Christine Trzyna here: Sleuth that I am (it must be all those NANCY DREW books I read in the fifth grade along with the English Classics!) I recently discovered that our blog is being translated in some languages we don't have translator flags for including Farsi and Arabic. We are a bit in awe that there are people in the Arabic and Farsi speaking countries interested in early American rock and roll and the cover tune era!

We appreciate our friends; the old friends as well as the new ones we're making!

You know we don't write for statistics but we do find our readership interesting. In the last 30 days the United States takes the lead as we tend to expect. Coming in second place are readers from Germany. Readers from France and the United Kingdom are almost tied. As are Canada and the Ukraine! We had a dozen or so readers from Australia and Poland. This week Latvia and India checked in! Welcome to you all!

UPDATE MAY 23 2012 - WE'VE INSTALLED THE NEW GOOGLE TRANSLATOR TO HELP YOU READ THIS BLOG! GIVE IT A TRY!
