It's Only Three Chords, But They're the RIGHT Three Chords.

More clips from the reunion show.











I don't know who these guys are, but they're pretty darned good.

FOLK ROCK!!!

Another clip from the reunion gig.



A Byrds cover, obviously. What Groucho Marx is doing on bass is beyond me.

Four Characters in Search of a Record Deal

Okay, just kidding.

Actually, it's another song from our October reunion gig.



And as I've said before, if those guys aren't having the time of their lives, I'm no judge of horseflesh.

The Floor Models: A Night to Remember

The short version: The Floor Models reunion show was, to quote Shelley Duvall in Annie Hall, "transplendent."

And thank you to everybody who attended or was involved in it in any way.



Yeah, yeah; I know those performances are raggedy, but they're great anyway and if those four guys aren't having fun, I'm no judge of horseflesh.

Also: My dear friend Laura Giantonio -- who in an earlier life was a big time rock photographer -- took these. Words fail me.



In case you were wondering, it really felt like the old days. Just a fabulous time.


And here's hoping Andy was watching it from rock-and-roll heaven and giving it a thumbs up.

A Clear Sign of the End Times

Well, they said it would never happen, but alas they were wrong.

This Friday evening -- 33 years since we last played together in the same room -- the members of The Floor Models Mark II (aka Gerry Devine and the Hi-Beams) will be performing live in concert.

At SESSION 73, on the corner of 73rd street and 1st Avenue in New York City. A proverbial low dive with continuous entertainment.


Those of you lucky enough not to be members of the group's inner circle may not be aware that this sure to be historic event was preceded two weeks ago by a hugely successful soiree -- at the KEUKA KAFE in Forest hills -- in celebration of our recently released CD Esprit de Floor (available at Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and the rest of the usual suspects).



That's us watching our younger selves on the Keuka's video monitor, BTW.

In any case, tomorrow's show is sure to attract the curious and the kooky, and a splendid time is guaranteed for all. Doors open during the day, the band hits the stage at 8pm, and the drinks will be discounted while we're on.

Be there or be square. For more details, check out the Session 73 website at the link above.

You're welcome, and pray for us.

Alas, There Will Never Be a Deluxe Criterion Blu-Ray Edition of our 1965 Movie Masterpiece

It was our A Hard Day's Night, but it bombed at the box-office.

And the negative and all surviving prints were recently lost in a fire at Universal.


Fortunately, you can still hear the title song...



...and buy the soundtrack CD over at Amazon HERE.
