Ger-I Lewis Jamming @ Venice Beach,California

Well, well, well, you all know my as the Punk Rocker loud and frantic on stage. I’ve decided to take it back to the roots now. Roots for me is Venice, CA and in particular, the boardwalk, a guitar, and a collection of songs from the heart and soul. The Venice Boardwalk is were I heard my first strains of street style minstrels, bards and poets. Venice has changed much since I was a young boy, a child of a hippie mother running wild and free on the sands of time and the lovely Pacific ocean. Yet one thing that has not changed is the freedom to grab a guitar and sing my hearts desires, sorrows, and joys to the masses, to the universe and to God. Although the rents in Venice are now an astronomical sum and the crowds are sooooo bourgeois, The sun is still shinning, the ocean is still sparkling, the palm trees are still swaying in the breeze. Home will always be Venice, CA no matter how far I roam.

selected Reading from 1978 Crashed Memories.

First and foremost, thank you Tequila Mockingbird and Roger Rave curators and friends at The Punk Museum of Los Angeles, California. I am humbled, flattered and honored to have been invited to perform a reading of 1978 Crashed Memories! Wow!

To begin, working at 1616 Cahuenga Boutique in Hollywood California, boutique owner and fashionista supreme Joanna said, “Hey Ger-I, Tequila Mockingbird is out back.” Gosh, I have not seen Tequila in 30 years.” I replied. (Yes smartypants, I really do use words such as gosh and dang as I am clean many ways.) Rushing out the door, searching high and low for Tequila I looked directly at her not recognizing her. Tequila noticing me first, said “Hi Ger-I!” Wow! Tequila Mockingbird holier than thou, writer, author, publisher and keeper of Rock&Roll secrets and mysteries is speaking to me! (Which was more than I ever got back in “78″!)
Long and the short of it? Tequila invited me to The Punk Museum to perform a reading!

Thank you so very very much to all who showed up and supported my feeble efforts at conveying the apogee of L.A and the world’s musical expressionism, Punk Rock!
