Merrill Womach  Happy Again   Favoriting Happy Again ("He Restoreth My Soul" Soundtrack)    (Featured album cover on the top of pg. 39.) Why not play his theme song again from the film, I’ve already played what I feel are the two other good tracks from this soundtrack last episode. - Your D.J.

(Bonus Track) Dexter Gardner  Side 1   Favoriting Last Testamony Of A Teenage Dope Addict  6:33  A disturbing local recording. My friend Steve Anderson found his yearbook photos. The first time you see Dexter, he looks like a happy smiling kid with his whole life ahead of him. Then, as the years pass after taking drugs the smile begins to fade to a more distant and despondent look. There is a reason I've never played this at record gatherings, but if I don't play it during this show, I don't know when I would. So sad.

        1967. If you can't figure it out, this is his suicide letter recording. He killed (shot) himself in a car off the side of the road near Lambs Canyon I believe. ...right after making this recording.

Hi BC! I love the cover of Turning Point!

Thanks Sonder :) I love hand written fonts as well
Avatar 2:33pm
BC Sterrett:

This record and Turning Point were a couple of the hardest records for me to find. My copy of Million Dollar Monkey is without a cover. I imagine someone who just wanted to hang that cover on their wall. I barely got Turning Point in my hands last week!

Hey Granny! BC, I see the price it fetches on discogs. Wow. Also, this show is kind of strange background music to work by haha.

this conversation is direct and intense. Yes, Mx Granny, truth from the street. Individually true and scary when thinking how many thousands times more this story is true for.

i get lots of inspiration from hearing folx who made it through

Because my copy of this was without a cover I didn't have to pay the $200 + price

I think I'm the only one of my brothers who didn't try drugs and alcohol. It seemed pretty clear learning from other's choices/ mistakes around me, not to, for me.

BC, you're not familiar with Francis Bacon? He was an Irish Painter. You should check him out, pretty intense stuff.

I wish I could do more to stop shoplifters. If I did some of the things I suggested they said I'd get fired, for fear of me getting stabbed or whatnot.

I have needle scars in my arms... but from doing too many medical testing studies, not drugs. :)
Avatar 3:37pm
Mr Fab:

We've had some fairly sophisticated operations come in - while one person distracts employees, others do the shoplifting and wait in getaway cars. But usually it's some stoner who walks out with something, and I ask, you didn't pay for that, would you please return it? And they're like: uh, ok...
Avatar 3:38pm
BC Sterrett:

Makes sense. I have a nice scar or two from when I used to donate plasma.

Have you seen the Synanon movie, BC? Wondering if it's "good".
Avatar 3:40pm
BC Sterrett:

Nice Fab. Yeah, we've seen a couple getaway cars. Last week the shop lifters were taking too much time and we had them locked in the store. They just brought their random stash and sheepishly said, "Uh, can you put these things on hold?"

Hi Rich! I haven't seen the Synanon movie, but I really want to.
