He has basically stolen the tune from Sean Bonniwell and the Music Machine. Have a listen to Mother Nature Father Earth. virtually note perfect!
Alanmac 1966

Sorry Guys but that tune has been pinched from The Bonniwell Music Machine: Mother Nature-Father Earth (68) Check the real thing.
AntiHiller


The original riff and song still kick ass. Nice of this Kane dude to ask permission for the riff, but the song he wrote around it pales in comparison to the BMM song. I'm still trying to figure out why the Music Machine and the Bonniwell MM aren't considered the top dogs of the garage rock world. I love garage rock, but the Music Machine is by FAR the best of the lot.

This is probably my favorite Music Machine compilation. I just love it.
And it's a pretty nice package that Sean puts together. Nice color inserts and CDs. Fairly professional looking to me. I've purchased cds from indie bands at shows that didn't look half this good. Not to mention that the sound quality is excellent.

Sean (Tom) - in 1959, I worked with a fellow named John Moore who had (as of now) vintage Ampex recording gear and good (for the time) Sony microhones up in his house in the Los Gatos hills. You were in a folk trio called The Noblemen, and recorded 11 songs that, as far as I know, were never released.
I have a first-generation dub of the LP master tape, complete with artifacts of the era (analog blips, tape hiss, hum). I would be pleased to send you a copy of it.
Larry Miller / Ampex Designer/Sound Engineer
---------
Larry - Of the many e-mail contacts I've received over the years, yours is perhaps the most hoped for; aside from the pleasure of re-aquaintance with a Willow Glen High classmate, the availability of my recordings with The Noblemen is a treasured blessing I had all but given up on. These songs are my first professional recordings; I am deeply grateful ..
With appreciation in perpetuity,
Sean Bonniwell


COLLECTOR'S 3 FOR 2 FOLK PACKAGE







SON OF AMERICAN EARTH takes its name from progressive folk/satire and solo-acoustic country/pop themes written over a span of 35 years to the present day.

The majority of songs in this collection are self-explanatory, a few require clarification.
Under satire, "Blame The Lips" has a tongue buried in its cheek; there are no bars or honky-tonks in Salt Lake City, a subtle clue for the love-starved fan of traditional country songs.

"Fireman Cowboy" is more subtle but no less startling; the ending bites the Hand that feeds the mouth of religious freedom.
"Who's Doin' It" speaks from the hippie perspective circa 1966; political history aside, the consumer-addicted voice of the common man is still unheeded.

Deeper thoughts mark the scars of "Country Boys"; the face of injustice plays no favorites. Inclusion of this solo acoustic song was deeply pondered, it is perhaps the pinnacle of the human condition as seen through the heart's soul.

"Ain't That Good" attempts to justify such scars, through the eyes of reincarnation.
"Gonna Rain" ascends to Truth with a wry smile; His return judges mankind's rejection of it, and Him.
"Easy Does Love" was written for -- and in honor of -- the marriage of Dave & Devon Kurcina, and is paternally dedicated to god-son, Aris.

'Son Of American Earth' is the second to last of the Book's Companion CD/albums. Being the seventh of seven, no collector's library of my body of work is complete without it ...

Grateful for the privilege of your interest, and for the faithful grace of our Lord,
sb

------------------

Hi Sean,

I was at the hotel this past weekend for the music festival and met Eric of the Larksmen who suggested I drop you a note...

Just wanted to say how much you were missed!! The talk talk at the festival was that you couldn't make it due to the fires. I hope you are safe.

I met Ron, Keith, and Mark who all signed my 'Best Of' Music Machine LP and we took this picture..

If you plan to do any more appearances, please let us know. I would still love the opportunity to meet you.

peace & love
Kara

The 'Close' album version of "Black Snow" is a fully orchestrated 'mood piece' designed to engage and engulf the listener's intimate sensibilities. The Bmm version (featured on 'Guerilla Garage') assaults those sensibilities with characteristic MM angst, and is perhaps the pinnacle expression of same by way of its unrestrained delivery.

With the exception of the Euro Tour CD (now a bona fide Collectible being in all likelihood the first and last of its kind), many of the tracks are featured on the BTG Anthology CD (only available with purchase of the book re Special Offer; the expanded Special Offer includes 5 CD albums, a Euro Tour sticker and signed MM photo; please see BOOK OFFERs for details).

The BTG Anthology CD,while featuring a few classic MM tracks (all of which have been newly re-mastered), is a compendium of 40 years of writing & recording.
The songs mirror the events and turning points chronicled in the book, adding specifically significant enlightenment to each corresponding chapter. The Star Witness CD album continues and closes the reading with that same, unique intention. Both companion CD albums represent my body of work as a songwriter, and the evolution of my personal journey Beyond The Garage.
