Ask Dr Hal
COSMIC HARMONIES
ANOTHER SOLO SHOW, this one with more unhampered music than usual... we began, after our introductory Valediction by Dylan Thomas, with the sounds of Robin Coomer and Sam Bass from their no longer extant (but fondly remembered) exceptional group, Loop! Station, from their album 'Love vs. Love,' followed immediately by "All You Want" from the current band Shake Well, the album being 'Shake Well, the Early Years.' The great Eric McFadden, channeling T.J. MacDonald (Robin channeling Patsy), called Dr. Hal out from the stage at this historic performance-- 7 years after the last one-- at SF Eagle, the legendary Dive Bar, still miraculously un-gentrified. Robin C. has been a friend of the Ask Dr. Hal! live show for lo, these many years, once even hosting at the now extinct venue known as S.P,A.C.E... More poetry and music followed, with a plethora of historic recordings. Prominent among the latter were some cuts supplied by our own beloved Right Reverend Mother Doktor Miller. Though we regretted the absence of KrOB, Peppe and PuzEv, sometimes it's a pleasure to keep it rolling on one's own. Even the Kisi App worked for a change, almost eagerly opening the door before fully called up. Qui per alium facit, per se facit! We'll see some of you this Thursday at the Roxie theater for the debut of the new film, "J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius."
