red young

a coupla wks ago, i read paul boll's blog post about local keyb legend red young with great interest. yesterday, i got to meet red when he taped an interview for the teen a go go documentary. before he left town in '67, red (he went by "pinky" back then) and his band the committee used to play for the teens at the candy stick a go go and blue cat a go go, even though the musos were more into james brown and ray charles than the beatles. he gives an engaging, insightful interview, too. lately, red's been on the road with eric burdon, and he's holding down monday nights at ovations with jimmy smith-like hammond b3 wonderment the entahr month of november. the "organ queers" will undoubtedly be there; maybe you, too? (i gotta find an address for this j'int. pablo?)

ADDENDUM: paulo bolla sez ovations is at 6115 camp bowie blvd, suite 112, next to cafe aspen and across the street from la madeleine. so there ya go.
