TIME TRAVEL

Keeping a chunk of red brick next to my typewriter (I still call my computer
a “typewriter”) that came from the foundation of Mark Twain’s
writing room on that hill in Elmira
A Petoskey stone from Lake Michigan 400 million years old coral reef
An 1960s cast iron pencil sharpener exactly like I used in drafting class in high school
that Paula found for me on the web
Driftwood from where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi and on that foggy night
Huck & Jim missed their turn (they were coming down the Mississippi and should
have hung left up the Ohio to freedom)
An old hypodermic needle
An Anasazi pot sherd
An old beat-up discarded plunger mute that Michael Vlatkovich used for years
My Lightnin’ Hopkins autograph
A dialing pencil that my Mom used that year (1951) she was a switchboard operator
for Bell Telephone
One of Bobby Bradford’s old cornet mouthpieces
An empty cigarette pack of Kenny Davern’s Camels
Little tiny iridescent feathers from a hummingbird
A matchpack from Ernest Tubb’s Record Store
A chunk of rosy granite from the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho

It’s time travel to look or hold any one of these talismans
It’s not “remembering,” it’s a time travel to that place
Some people have the gift of seeing the past, the rest of us
visit graves, old historic bridges, the mound of Babylon (I hope someday), or
an old oak that escaped being cut down to build the Spanish Armada
Or a grove a yew trees that could be related to the ones that made the long bows
William the Conqueror used to invade England 1066 (yew wood is long-grained,
therefore longer bows, more projection)
Keepsakes and touchstones, talismanic, what is it
we gather from these pilgrimages to the past?
Those moments you read a petroglyph and know what is being conveyed . . . .

I park my truck not a block away from where Lester’s young wife Beatrice
worked as a domestic for a physician (1928-1929) and can sense Lester
Young age 19 walking this same sidewalk as I do on my way to the
radio station every Thursday

I always remember how well that sense of destiny in the past
was illustrated in the movie PATTON and the goosebumps
when General Patton traveling across north Africa asks his
jeep driver to stop in the middle of nowhere (somber music wells
up) because
the general senses an ancient battle took place here

Site of the old Hi-De-Ho Club ---- This is a slightly different shot than my photo that appears in THE COMPLETE DEAN BENEDETTI RECORDINGS OF CHARLIE PARKER ---- I might suppose that the statute of limitations of guilt and assholeness can be invoked and said asshole can now admit he's the one who spray-painted "BIRD LIVES!" on the side of that church back in 1977 (I've only told 2 or 3 people this story) being not too proud of spray painting graffiti, but I was under the pall of Ross Russell's fanciful biography of Charlie Parker (BIRD LIVES! 1973) and the re-issue at that time of the Dial recordings on Spotlite (remember those mauve/lavender/pink album covers!) and no doubt had been drinking, does that count? Well, it gave me courage, I'll say, as vandalism is way outside my skill set and comfort zone, but thinking back: Why did I have a can of spray paint in the trunk of my VW? Does this mean I pre-meditated (a strange choice of words from the legal profession) this act of unholy reverence for Bird? It was very late at night, I had been in one of the blues clubs in Watts (more correctly known as "South Central" nowadays) probably listening to Pee Wee Crayton as these frames are on the same sequence of negatives . . . . Bars close at 2am in Los Angeles, on my way home I drove over and did the deed, then a few weeks later came by and snapped a few photos in the broad daylight ---- My wife asked, "So, what else did you graffiti?" Just the inside of my skull ---- Am I absolved? I kind of doubt it, as a person has to live with oneself in this mortal coil, and I'm not Catholic so a confession has not helped, St Peter probably maybe just might let me in? After all Charlie Parker is in Heaven ---- BUT it do make a nice picture, no? And look at that lamp post! That very lamp post probably now resides at LACMA in that regimented line-up of 202 restored 1930s lamp posts created by artist Chris Burden ("Urban Light" 2008) ---- Some time shortly after taking my photo I gave an 8x10 B&W copy to my friend Bob Porter of the BOSTON PHOENIX and it was he who gets credit for getting that photo to Mosaic, which is the absolute most perfect place for it to be

    Happy Birthday, Janet !

  3. cal haines

    Happy Birthday Janet and many more!!!

    I find myself wondering if there was any set at any club or concert or jam session in southern California at which you were not in attendance back in the day. Your photos are always a pleasure to see, and your recollections of the subjects and circumstances are always welcome. Good grief, Mark, what a wealth of of jazz experience you’ve collected up in that head of yours. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Kirk Silsbee

    My journal notes for that Joe Albany-Jimmy Knepper gig at the Lighthouse tell me that they played “All The Things You Are,” “I Can’t Get Started,” “Star Eyes,” “Donna Lee,” “Out of Nowhere,” “Autumn in New York,” “Dream Dancing,” “Bird Blues,” “Yardbird Suite,” “Ruby My Dear,” “Stompin’ at the Savoy,” “‘Round Midnight,” “There Will Never Be Another You,” “Lotus,” “Lush Life” and “Confirmation.”

    I interviewed Joe at length a short time later and found him to be quite thoughtful, if very self-deprecating. There was more than a little tragedy hanging over him.

  6. Vinny Golia

    Happy Birthday Janet!

  7. Mark Weber

    THIS JUST CONFIRMED: After procrastinations on my end I finally got off my butt and telephoned (thank you
    Michael Vlatkovich & Tony Garcia for tracking down the number) ANTHONY ORTEGA and we’ll be talking with him over the telephone this day (my wife’s birthday) from his home in Encinitas, California ——— I told him we’ll talk a lot about 1950s Los Angeles jazz scene so if that gets old just tell me to put a cork in it and let’s talk about more current activities like his weekly gig at Mr Peabody’s in Encinitas and recent cd releases———–etcetera

  8. Bill Chattin

    great, stuff as always, Mark. I trust you have set up a place where the public can see these things after you’ve gone on….
