I Thunk

Joey’s Been Down & Loaded

“Sittin’ round thinkin’, thinkin’ and a thinkin’

And it ain’t doin’ me no good.

I want to know, that everything that’s sung will remain.

Well i thunk thunk thunk thunk a lot about it, realized my thunk is nothin’ but a lot of funk. So bunk down on in my place.”

“Only A Dream (hummm)”

“Couldn’t think of anything better,”

(excerpt from the song “Thunk” written by Joey Covington, released on the Jefferson Airplane Bark Album

The music remains and it’s time to get it out!

December, 2007

To my friend, Floyd Red Crow Westerman

Let the winds blow, through your hair

Let the clouds cry, and wash away the pain

Let the sun shine, while it keeps your spirit warm

As you finally fly with the eagle.

Hey Floyd, I listened to your CD,

“A Tribute to Johnny Cash”

Great Job.

Your Friend,

Joey Covington

WHAT’S Been GOING ON

January, 2007

Joey wants to let everyone know that his friend Jerry Schilling recently had his book published called “Me and a Guy Named Elvis” on Gotham Books. Jerry was a close friend of and a part of Elvis’s “Memphis Mafia”. His book is written with the deep sensitivity that only a friend could have. Jerry writes of things that the public never knew before and dispels a lot of the misinformation that has been said or written over the years about Elvis. It’s a great book !

February, 2007

If you’re headed to L.A. the best restaurant, best food, and best hang is Mario Maglieri’s Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip. There’s a reason it’s a “landmark”. And Mario’s Whisky A Go Go is still “the club” that’s Rockin’ L.A. Joey wants to say Rock On to Mario for his induction in to the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame this year for his contribution to Rock N’ Roll! The book “Straight Whisky” documents the history of the Whisky A Go Go; a must read for Rock fans.
