I've posted this song a couple times, the last time was a year ago. But, out of the blue, I thought of a good gag. The song is by pre-Monkee Mike Nesmith, recording as Michael Blessing. The song was supposed to be a throwaway instrumental. It is anything but. It's completely badass. It sounds like Davie Allan and Link Wray on the same record. That's where the gag comes in. It'll only work if you have a friend that knows Allan and Wray, as well as badass guitarists from all eras, someone you can lead to mentioning their names. If you know music well enough you should be able to do that. If not, I give up. Using your skills, whatever level you've got, steer them towards Davie Allan and Link Wray. Then, a minute or two later, "Oh, I just remembered! Have you ever heard the tape of them jamming?" Dig through your pile of unorganized burned CDs (you do have one, right?) and yank out "A Journey With Michael Blessing" (not labeled of course). Lay it on them. If you get them to believe it, continue with the biggest fat ass lie of a story that you can come up with. Plausible? They were jamming at so and so's house. It would had to have been a well connected gadabout, mid-sixties, probably L.A. Sonny Bono? Kim Fowley? Stephen Stills? Hey, it's your lie. Think of something.
