I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It is sunday again (don't you know it?)
when I pretend to be a poet
and take up my self-imposed gauntlets
doing Gonzo Daily in rhyming couplets
and if anyone might ask me why,
I say "dunno, but I have to try"
and if you think I'm just some freak
gimme a break its only once a week...

And so we start Gonzo Today,
with an Ant-Bee story (Hip Hooray)
its difficult here not to list the names
of the folk who collaborate with Billy James
there's different ones on every song
from The Magic Band, Focus or Gong,
and here it should be understood
his new CD is bloody good!

And here for you to read and see
a review of Troy Donockley,
you should know him, well I mean cripes
he can't half play those Celtic pipes,
his piping gives his music wings
he's a virtuoso on these things
and lots of artists count their blessings,
and want to have him on their sessions

Now who is next, I wonder can you guess
He used to play keyboards with Yes,
and now I'm led to understand
he's the BBCs grumpy old man
but he orchestrates a merry dance
with his brand of prog par excellence
here's something that was sent to me
a review of his new Live CD

And now its time to take a gander
at this review of Erik Norlander
another keyboard maestro gent.
on his DVDs your money's well spent,
he has two deluxe packages out
and both of them are worth a shout
so forgive me making such a fuss
but both have been released by us

Now who is this ageing hippy
in this stupid picture (oops its me)
but traditionally I make the most
of stuff which arrives in my post
And you wouldn't get such a thrill
from an overdue water rates bill
as you do when you're picturing me
waving a Beefheart DVD
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/my-postbag-beefheart-and-shellshock.html

And now something from me to you
a Michael Des Barres interview
and here I think I should repeat
that his new CD Carnaby Street
will be released on Tuesday 10th,
its not out now, so quench your sorrow
its only the dat after tomorrow

There are few artists in the Music Biz
who are as good as my friend Liz
(and by the way, 'Indian Summer'
her new album is a real stunner)
but today's story (never mind)
she's leaving the Auburn band behind
but not for good (that would be dire)
she's doing Latitude festival with the choir

And so I've finished once again
but I'll be back on sunday when
I'll bring you all the Gonzo news
filtered through my poetic muse
