*Remembering 1968*
1968---I was 13---my brother’s
bedroom---he placed a set of headphones on my
ears (the first stereo headphones I can
recall) and said, “Listen to this sis”. It
was Lee Michaels’ first and I was hooked.
Just introduced to The Beatles four years
prior, this was different. My bodacious
brother Bubba would’ve been 55 this past
January 3, and he thought that Lee and Frosty
hung the moon. Actually, I still have all of
his albums and 8-tracks, used to the hilt of
course. In our minds Lee Michaels never was
a “California” thing, he made it into deep
south Texas years ago and was the highlight
of many parties and bottle rocket wars at the
Levy...LOL...fun, wild days. I’m completely
amazed at how many people, including
musicians that are unaware of the roots or
the complexity of this two-man band, who in
my humble opinion were and still are the
best. It is true that some things only
happen once and I urge people whenever I can
to try this most delightful, unique musical
experience. I have long-term friendships with
several people that love Lee’s music. It gets
cranked up on my 800 SS at every BBQ.
And hey, I’ve heard mixed reviews on
‘Absolute Lee’. I’ve also noticed that it’s
not being offered at this time. Personally,
I love it, it takes a few spins, but to say
that it’s not Lee or that it's a drastic
change? That would be like me telling an old
friend not to grow. Yes, I have it,
hopefully it will be re-released cuz ya ain’t
gettin’ mine!
Lee you’re a soul hero. Keep that
lovely grin and I hope this finds you as well
and as happy as you can be!!
