Tom Dae Turned On — “I Shall Walk”: Brace for the Obscure (60s rock)! — May 31, 2023

THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 1960s THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD

843) Tom Dae Turned On — “I Shall Walk”

This is what garage rock sounded like in Connecticut in ’70! — “Heavy Psych out of Hartford . . . by a guy who mostly recorded lightweight pop (hence the “Turned On”). Shoestring, https://www.45cat.com/record/hitt7002). I don’t think “I Shall Walk” would go over well at Foxwoods, but it generates “[a]mazing mental visuals in minds eye with this one . . . dancing like The Talking Heads video David Byrne ‘Once in a Lifetime’ but walking across the globe, getting bigger each step until he steps onto the moon and then other planets into the solar system and beyond.” (jamestiberiuskirk3277,(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pg2CUw5YEaA&pp=ygUUVG9tIGRhZSBpIHNoYWxsIHdhbGs%3D) Thanks, Captain Kirk!

Oh, it’s a “‘protest song’ about pollution, wars, todays expansion destroying the environment, and about moving on to a place where trust and love exist)”! (liner notes to the Tom Dae Turned On comp CD (?), https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Dae-Turned/dp/B000GEU4B0)

About Tom Dae, the Tom Dae Turned On liner notes (?) tell us that:

“TOM DAE TURNED ON” was a cool marketing way to raise curiosity and let prospective new fans know . . . . Tom performed in the North East USA and Canada as a ‘ONE MAN BAND’ in Night Clubs in New York, Boston, Cape Cod as well Ski areas of New England. Tom performed in Holiday and Sheraton Inns as well as all variety of Nite Clubs. [T]he High Tensions’ ( ‘GIVE ME LOVE’, which features Arno Groot on sax), ‘TAMPICO RAGE’ & ‘LOST HORIZON’ are Ventures like instrumentals featuring Norman Letendre on Leed Guitar . . . [and there are] 70s Music cuts by ‘LOVE 70’ . . . .
