Apparently the band thing didn't work out.

This CD was recorded when I was 23 years old and living in Richmond, Virginia, which at the time, I thought was the big city.
Fusion (a cross between jazz and rock) was all the rage. Artists like John McLaughlin, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Frank Zappa were the folks we looked up to. This CD reflects that influence.

* Tribute to the Cosmic John - The A side of the only single I ever released. You can imagine what record sales were like.
* Watermelon Funk Song - The B side. A funny tune. I love horns.

Funny how his website claims that a student of his performed with Jimi Hendrix...

If he was 23 in 1976, that makes him 17 when Hendrix died.

Blah Blah Woof Woof Band - Watermelon Funk Song 7":
Watermelon Funk Song // Tribute to the Cosmic John
black vinyl (no PS)
Blah Blah Woof Woof 7041-31, 1977

Lineup: Steven S Dukes - guitar


Reviews: A side is a good one--layered, complex horns, stinging funk guitar, and occasionaly bursts of synth. B side is a noodly excercise in moogsturbation and half-assed guitar wankery. I'd lump this in with the artier side of proto-punk--like if Pere Ubu had a boner for James Brown, Ornette Coleman, and Frank Zappa instead of the Stooges and Velvet Underground. To further its outsider and avant-garde pedigree, the guitarist had a huge boner for John Cage (the 4:33 of silence guy): he studied with John for a while, wrote the B side of the single about him, and even had "Thank You John Cage" printed on the labels. Audible influences include Zappa, James Brown, and jazzy jerkoffs.

Everybody and their dog says they had something to do with Hendrix. They count on the fact that a million people interacted with him and he's dead, so who can prove them wrong. What they don't count on is people doing the simple math of their age!

Go to Seattle and you'll find 1000+ people that will tell you they were at the first Nirvana performance. In reality, their were only about 13 in attendance.
