Ken – the drummer was Gary Snyder…we used to practice right on campus there. There was an old bldg down past the cafeteria where we first got together.

Greets!

I went to college with Paul and Patty (now Patricia) Van Ness. I think their original drummer also went to the same school…a blonde guy whose name I forget. I was truly excited whenn I first heard Song of a Kite on WBCN’s Big Matress and Charles Laquidara pushed the band and the album as much as he could.
My wish would be to see the band reunite for a college Homecoming weekend (Clumbus Day Weekend Sat) some year!
During my 12 years on WHUS in Storrs, I played Private Lightening a good bit. Got good response from listeners along with Pousette Dart and Liv Taylor…all Boston based music.

I’d have to vote for The Forever War, which had a huge impact on me. I interviewed Joe Haldeman recently and asked him about The Forever War and winning the Grand Master award. He told me that he doesn’t feel old enough. (If you’re interested, you can read my Joe Haldeman interview for free at SciFiBookshelf.com )

I got my copy of the CD from Newbury Comics, I think. But also note that Steve Keith continues to post interesting PL stuff (including wav and mp3 files) on his http://www.baselines.com/ site (and I continue to be grateful!).

I saw Private Lightning live in Lowell, MA probably in 1979 or 80. What a show! I still remember it today. “Thriller” is my favorite track from them. CD is out got it on Amazon.

Comment on movie log: Zero Hour! (1957) by byron kirkpatrick

I just watched Zero Hour for the first time. I saw Airplane for the first time when I was training for the Peace Corps. I’ve seen Airplane at least twelve times.

I found the movie to be hilarious. I could not help filling in all of the gag lines. I “highly” recommend watching this movie if you are a fan of Airplane. Zero Hour is an entirely different movie all together.

That is excellent news, thanks! I’ll be ordering for sure. I had also seen your mention on your baselines.com site – also great news that you are expecting new tracks to be recovered from tape(s). Can’t wait…

Wanted to drop a quick note here. The Private Lightning album will be released with additional cuts on or about June 16 2009 on CD. See either baselines.com or the Renaissance Records site for more details. I have seen pre-order pages on Best Buy, Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I do not know if the CD will be in stores, or only available on line.
