Joe Muscara Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 p.s. what do I win? You get to host the next Mid Atlantic Keyboard Corner hang. I was thinkin' we could have it in Joe's Garage. Well, I'd have to move the cars out and clean things up a bit. Also, it's a bit of a trek for you MD/VA/DC/NY types, but I'm up for it if you are.

Doerfler Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Frank would approve, Bill A boring old garage in a residential area with a teen-age band Rehearsing in it. JOE (the main character in the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER'S Special Presentation) sings to us of the trials and Tribulations of garage-band husbandry. We take you now, to a garage, in Canoga Park. It wasn't very large There was just enough room to cram the drums In the corner over by the Dodge It was a fifty-four With a mashed up door And a cheesy little amp With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ" And a second hand guitar It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar At this point, LARRY (a guy who will eventually give up music and Earn a respectable living as a roadie for a group called Toad-O) Joins in the song... We could jam in Joe's Garage His mama was screamin' His dad was mad We was playin' the same old song In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would Play it all night long It was all we knew, 'n' easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong All we did was bend the string like... Hey! Down in Joe's Garage We didn't have no dope or LSD But a coupla quartsa beer Would fix it so the intonation Would not offend yer ear And the same old chords goin' over 'n' over Became a symphony We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again 'Cause it sounded good to me ONE MORE TIME! We could jam in Joe's Garage His mama was screamin', "TURN IT DOWN!" We was playing' the same old song In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would Play it all night long It was all we knew, and easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong Even if you played it on a saxophone We thought we was pretty good We talked about keepin' the band together 'N' we figured that we should 'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye From the girls in the neighborhood They'd all come over 'n' dance around Like... Twenty teen-age girls dash In and go STOMP-CLAP, STOMP-CLAP-CLAP... So we picked out a stupid name Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks 'N' we was on our way to fame Got matching suits 'N' Beatle Boots 'N' a sign on the back of the car 'N' we was ready to work in a GO-GO Bar ONE TWO THREE FOUR LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT SOME MORE! People seemed to like our song They got up 'n' danced 'n' made a lotta noise An' it wasn't 'fore very long A guy from a company we can't name Said we oughta take his pen 'N' sign on the line for a real good time But he didn't tell us when These "good times" would be somethin' That was really happenin' So the band broke up An' it looks like We will never play again... Guess you only get one chance in life To play a song that goes like... Screams out the window... Turn it down! Turn it DOWN! I have children sleeping here... Don't you boys know any nice songs? Well the years was rollin' by, yeah Heavy Metal 'n' Glitter Rock Had caught the public eye, yeah Snotty boys with lipstick on Was really flyin' high, yeah 'N' then they got that Disco thing 'N' New Wave came along 'N' all of a sudden I thought the time Had come for that old song We used to play in "Joe's Garage" And if I am not wrong You will soon be dancin' to... The WHITE ZONE is For loading and Unloading only. If you Gotta load or unload, Go to the WHITE ZONE. You'll love it... Well the years was rollin' by (etc.)... I'm calling THE POLICE! I did it! They'll be here... shortly! This is the Police... I'm not joking around anymore We have the garage surrounded If you give yourself up We will not harm you Or hurt you neither You'll see them This is the Police There they are, they're coming! Give yourself up We will not harm you Listen to that mess, would you? This is the Police Give yourself up We have the garage surrounded Everday this goes on around here! We will not harm you, or maim you (SWAT Team 4, move in!) He used cut my grass... He was very nice boy... That's DISGUSTING! This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... That was Joe's first confrontation with The Law. Naturally, we were easy on him. One of our friendly counselors gave him A do-nut... and told him to Stick closer to church-oriented social activities.

Doerfler Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Almost everyone ended up with a lower post count after the migration. dB had addressed this with us somewhere along the line, can't remember details exactly. Mine was lower by about 500 posts, IIRC. Anyway, glad you are still here with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
