Blast from my musical past!

posted in Boston, Homo, Music, Video |

I’ve been grooving on a lot of early 80’s Boston, local music lately, like November Group, Face to Face, Adventure Set, Private Lightning, and this seminal Boston band, Berlin Airlift. Songwriter/leader Rick Berlin is a Boston institution, and you can still find him hanging out in Jamaica Plain. This song, “Over the Hill (I Love You)” and Berlin Airlift the band, was so important to this incipient fag when I was solidifying my identity. The songs were clearly coded and from the point of view of a gay man. What a find this video is!

    I remember hearing an Adventure Set song on WBCN or FNX back in the 80’s. It got some local play. I can’t remember the name of the song. I saw them once at the long gone Channel. In what format do you have their music? I know they recorded an EP.

    Thanks for your comment, Paul. I have the vinyl 4-song EP, and I’ve burned it onto disc. The song you’re probably thinking of is Blue is for Boys… but they also played The Great White Way. I saw them at the Channel as well. What a great club that was, hmmm?

    Thanks,

    Michael,

    The more I think about it, the song I’m remembering may have been Great White Way. I remember the song had a haunting sound. Can you send me an email? My email is chisfam@comcast.net.
