Let us all lend our thoughts and our Will to promote the taming of the dread internet Goblins that have been plaguing HearMe of late. You support is confidently expected. Sandy |

07 Nov 00 - 08:23 PM (#336306) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: bbelle Thanks for the intro, Sandy. I'll say what I said in the other thread... I'm excited and looking forward to Thursday evening. There will be a variety of music ... folk, old-thymey, bluegrass, modern, trad ... hopefully a little something for everyone. The concert will be informal and I'd like to take y'll back to about 1965 and what you were wearin' then, how you wore your hair, your philosophy. If you weren't born then, be creative and use your mind's eye of the times. I'll have on hiphugger bellbottom jeans, a sleeveless top, psychedelic triangle guitar pick earrings, my hair will be in two long braids, and I'll be barefoot. I'll be playing my Larrivee D-05 dreadnought and I'd like to invite everyone to bring their instruments ... guitar, mandolin, banjo, washtub bass, autoharp, dulcimer, and a harmony of voices. I'll be able to hear you and if you think hard enough your wonderful kinetic imaginations will take you there, as well. So, someone bring the Annie Green Springs and someone bring the Purple Passion and let's have a love-in! moonjen |

07 Nov 00 - 08:48 PM (#336321) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: WyoWoman The Sixties obviously came to your neck of the woods earlier than to mine. We weren't wearing all that hippie garb until much later -- 1968 and on. So, if I wear what I was wearing in 1965, it'll be a little pleated skirt, Bass weejuns without socks, a sweater set and my hair down to my shoulders in a "flip," with bangs to the middle of my eyes. In other words, I'd be right in style today! I'm looking forward to it. I have to leave early for a class, but I'll definitely be sitting in the audience for as long as I can. And back then I was only drinking 3.2 Coors beer in baby-eight cans (So I could save them and roll my hair on them), so I'll just poor a bottle of beer in a pitcher of water to replicate the general flavor ....

07 Nov 00 - 09:07 PM (#336335) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: Mary in Kentucky You got it WW. In '65 my hair was in a flip, I wore a pleated skirt and sweater set (pants suits didn't come in style until after the mini skirts, and jeans were unheard of then), bass weejuns with no socks (panty hose were new), and I think I had a camel-colored winter coat with a raccoon collar! See y'all there! |

07 Nov 00 - 09:10 PM (#336340) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: MMario no- in '65 my hair looked like a dandelion puff - straight out in all directions from my head. no way! and it was button down shirts and dress slacks...at all times. unh-uh! not going back! |

07 Nov 00 - 09:33 PM (#336358) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: bbelle Ok, guys ... I was wearing the pleated skirts, madras blouse with round collar and circle pin and Weejuns, by day ... Let's move the year up to 1967 ... can ya dig it, can ya dig it? moonjen |

07 Nov 00 - 09:50 PM (#336371) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: Naemanson I was in high school at the time. I cannot remember what I wore but I do remember making a pendant out of a spent .50 caliber machine gun shell. I hung it from a large fake-gold chain painted PEACE 1968 on it and had a flower coming out of the end. My father was apalled. Having said that I will not be able to make it to this concert. There are two meetings at my daughter's high school that evening. One is about financial aid for college and the other is about the recent spate of bomb scares we have had at that school. I'm very sorry to miss any of these concerts. I am especially sorry to miss hearing you, Jenny, for I have enjoyed your posts and wanted to hear you sing. Have a great evening. |

07 Nov 00 - 11:22 PM (#336448) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: bbelle Matt ... read my post, for heaven's sake! I said to use your mind's eye and imagination. Instead of telling me how much younger you are than I. :~} You, too, Jon. :~} moonjen |

07 Nov 00 - 11:26 PM (#336451) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: Matt_R Ok, I'd have my Dad's old Marine Corps flak jacket on, blue jeans....poofy hair...unshaven face...guitar...harmonica harness around my neck, thumping out a new favorite song "Subterranean Homesick Blues". Look out, kids! --Matt |

07 Nov 00 - 11:52 PM (#336472) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: bbelle Now! That's the spirit, Matthew ... I knew you could do it. I especially like the vision of the poofy hair. moonjen |

08 Nov 00 - 12:01 AM (#336476) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: Matt_R hee hee...you should see what I mean by "poofy hair"! Think of a grown-in high & tight! I like visions of Johanna as well. |

08 Nov 00 - 12:56 AM (#336505) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: wysiwyg In 1965 I didn't have a computer that could do HearMe, and I bet I won't on Thursday, either! So I'll be the one wearing the frown! But hey, you go girl!!! Write me after and gush a little OK??? ~S~ |

08 Nov 00 - 07:49 AM (#336622) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: Giac I'll be there. Hope I can hear you. In 1965, I was on Chicago's Near North side, being called a hillbilly by various members of the Gold Coast artsy contingent, because I wore bluejeans. So, for the concert, I'll be a "hillbilly" again. I'm the one with long, straight hair and burn marks on my head (from the iron, of course). Let me tune up that old $19.95 Stella gittar and I'll do my Mother Maybelle guitar licks along with ya. Hopefully someone will tape this. |

08 Nov 00 - 09:00 AM (#336651) Subject: RE: CatConcert 6: Moonjen From: bbelle Bill, I would be honored if you would wear your Nehru jacket. Do you by chance have a Ben Casey shirt, too? Giac, no burn marks for me. I rolled my hair on soup cans to straighten it, and slept with my head hanging off the bed. Ladies: Do you remember doing that, too? moonjen |

I was into the jeans/chambray shirt and tweed sports coat (well worn) or suede hiplength coat (equally well worn) with harness boots thing back then. I'll join you moon....Got my guitar right here in the SAME gigbag I was dragging around then. Spaw |

And, BTW, I really love/loved that look. I loved harness boots because my folks thought any guy who wore them was a biker and it was my little bit of rebellion. moonjen |
