More Pix – More Nostalgia

June 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Fascinations

On vacation this week, mention of my 40th High School reunion led to the revelation that Hippie With Tiara had a cache of photos from our medical school years.

The display below is a collection of poor man’s scans of those photos (i.e., my photographs of a batch of 30 year old photographs), negatively affecting the quality of the graphics. An identification key, with dates approximated, follows the photos.

From upper left and proceeding clockwise:

Hippie With Tiara and DrHGuy (1973)
Princess of Peds and Red¹ (1973)
Top: Red and Gary² Bottom: Hippie With Tiara and DrHGuy (Camping trip – Arkansas Bluegrass Festival – 1972)
A particularly grizzly Lord of Leisure and Red (1972)
Duke of Derm, Bob AKA Re-Deal,³ Paula,⁴ and DrHGuy (1971)

DrHGuy Then and Now

A careful comparison of these pictures of me in 1972 (reader’s left) and now (reader’s right) demonstrates, well, that I haven’t lost my ability to sit on a rock. No, I do not know who surreptitiously placed that cap on my head. On the other hand, I actually believed, God forgive me, that the muttonchops and Prince Valiant hair looked OK.

More Pix – More Nostalgia…

Well, we now have photographic evidence that John Lennon lives.

Outrageously Happy, Outrageously In Love With Julie

... I never had a chance. I was – and this is the only word that fits – smitten. She was overwhelmingly intelligent and quick-witted, although it took three more years for me to recognize that she was, in fact, much smarter than me, and then another two years to forgive her for that. And, she was surpassingly good-looking, with an unmistakable aura of sexiness.

The unlikely story of how Julie and I fell in love and - 2 husbands, 1 wife, and 2 careers later - spent an outrageously wonderful 20 years together is unlike anything else you will find in this blog, and perhaps anywhere else.

The story starts, appropriately, at This Is How A Love Story Began

Do I Have To Dance All Night Film Festival

"Do I Have To Dance All Night" was performed many times in concerts but was never released in the US.

As part of my crusade to popularize this song, I've cobbled together 2 videos - one for the semi-funky 1976 version with Laura Brannigan and one for the 1980 more gypsy, less disco version - that kinda sorta fit the music.

Both videos include links to keys to the sources of the clips and the identities of the backup singers and others who are featured.

The complete story of "Do I Have To Dance All Night" is available at The Best Leonard Cohen Song You've Never Heard (Probably)

Leonard Cohen & Joni Mitchell? Yes, They Were

Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen had a fling in the 1960s that, for unspecified reasons, was short-lived, with Cohen instigating the parting.

It was then and is now a complex connection. In 1988, Cohen said, “I’m still very friendly with Joni - I had dinner with her before the tour, and I have the same admiration for her as you do. But I think it was Noel Harrison who came up to me in the LA Troubadour and said ‘How d’you like living with Beethoven?’”

The full story is at Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell: Just One Of Those Things
