Mad Dog - Sunday, May 18th, 2008 9:37 PM EDT "Listening to the Birds" and looking at TG pics epic song by epic group thank you for everything Samuel - Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 2:02 PM EDT Ks3CBA Hello! I'm Samuel Smith, i'm from Switqerland i and find your site really brilliant! Jonny Goldenrod - Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 11:45 AM EDT Thermos and C. People, Thank you for yet another great Halloween. U Rok. Ricky, You better learn to keep your hands off my Marci or I'm gonna have to kick your ass even if it means I gotta mess up my hair. ricky - Monday, October 29th, 2007 4:59 PM EDT that shore was fun dancin music but the band was funny lookin. Plus that bar was full of cold fish chicks. All I do out hear is ride the mechanical bull one time an any chick in the joint will take me back to her trailer. Maybe next year that place will git a bull. Kaylie Monroe - Sunday, October 28th, 2007 11:03 PM EDT Tommy Dean and All, You are to die for! The energy and peace in the 29 will keep me going until next Halloween! Marci Davenport(teenage daughter) - Sunday, October 28th, 2007 12:13 PM EDT Cost of "the best yet Thermos Halloween orgy-$10.00 - Taco Bell at 2:00A.M. for burritos $6.00-Getting that last fake eyelash off at 3:00A.M.-priceless 1lessjackson - Sunday, October 28th, 2007 11:10 AM EDT Best Orgy Ever. Thanks to the band for all of their hard work for once again bringing a little happiness into the hearts of Atlanta's depraved souls. Atom Girl - Friday, October 26th, 2007 7:28 PM EDT I love you Thermos Tippin - Friday, October 26th, 2007 8:57 AM EDT Looking forward to seeing Pat MaWienie this weekend. A fond memory of moving out of the Lenox house. Smoked the place with found hooch in a hub cap. Memories... catsand - Friday, October 19th, 2007 8:37 PM EDT Can't wait but all this press is making me scared of the White One. Funny, I was never scared of him before. Mad Dog - Monday, October 15th, 2007 10:43 PM EDT How much I am looking forward to that splendid occasion when once again we enter the Thermosphere. Perhaps, we won't come back. Mick - Sunday, October 14th, 2007 12:34 PM EDT Hey Y'all, Am unable to get hold of anybody at club 29 to confirm details of Halloween Orgy. Their last calendar events listed are for last February. With the wierd wah that that place exists in, just wanted to confirm that this event is on as scheduled. Also, above and beyond the elements that compromised last year's orgy, was, in my opinion the poor turnout (not to mention the general lack of costuming spirit for the Orgy) for what should be one of the highlights of the year for a certain generation of Atlantans. I happened to be listening to the Georgia Music Show on WRAS the night before the Orgy last year, and called in to tell the DJ about Thermos and the event, in the hope that she would publicize it on the show, as it rightfully should be. I think that the younger listeners of today should have the opportunity to find out about Atlanta's oldest and coolest still performing band, and that these annual Thermos shows should be given the cultural respect they deserve. So I urge you to spend a little of all the energy you expend puttig this thing on, publicizing the event and playing up the importance of it for Atlanta's anemic music culture. That's my two cents. Cant' tell you guys how much we appreciate your efforts maintaining these performances year after year. Your comments after last years problems were scary, so we are thrilled that things are (hopefully) back on -- Club 29 and all. Luv you guys. woodrow boodrow greenwood - Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 5:57 PM EDT My bes time wid lil nephew Thermos. Well I guess is wus when wee's jus pickin on de back poarch. Kommander Ken - Monday, March 12th, 2007 1:07 AM EDT My best time with Thermos? Lemme see.. oh yeah! It was 1995 behind Fuzzy's. Them had a CD he wanted for me to hear, so we went out back to my car to listen to it. A DeKalb County cop pulled behind us and arrested me for DUI, even though I wasn't driving! Best prison sex I ever had!!! peter clyde - Sunday, March 4th, 2007 7:21 PM EST I meant Tommy, daamn it, Tommy-- it's been way too long! set aside a PHT ! the check is in the mail.... peter clyde - Sunday, March 4th, 2007 7:08 PM EST Wahoooo! my absolute favorite music!!! too bad you guys were 20 or 30 years ahead of your time. Yo Brit, haven't seen ya at any swimming holes of late, how the hell are you? How about a come back!!! Fred Widdowson - Monday, November 20th, 2006 12:29 PM EST I saw them play in Athens back in the mid-70's. Wow, this brings back memories. How can I get lyrics to their great songs? 1lessjackson - Sunday, November 19th, 2006 1:56 PM EST I appreciate Mr. Greenwood's offer of reimbursement and especially the explanation of why the show abruptly ended. I guess I was mostly upset from the fact that I had been praticing my "Simba, Watusi and Black Maumaus" all week long and didn't get to use them. I look forward to the next show, hopefully anywhere but Club 29. Maybe a April Fool's show sans makeup. JLR - Friday, November 3rd, 2006 4:04 PM EST I had a fabulous time at the 3rd annual Halloween orgy despite technical problems. I say it's time to blow the joint and move this party foward. Smith's Olde Bar is an excellent choice. Saturday before Halloween is the best date. If you're not going to wear makeup anymore I want Thermos' green paint. Muffy Sinclair - Wednesday, November 1st, 2006 5:24 AM EST I can't believe JA forgot about the "Prom For Fly Benefit", another great show even though the white guy was at the beach. I think she must be jealous because I was Prom Queen, unofficial of course. Greg "justpassnthru" - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 11:09 PM EST No...this past orgy wasn't as good as the past...Club 29 SUX! as does their bar staff!!!and sound guys!!!But, still, to get to see Thermos live...well, you just can't go wrong with that!!! and by the way...SMITH'S OLDE BAR!!!AN EXCELLENT IDEA! Count me in!!! Jane Ann - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 7:56 PM EST People need to realize that this is a one shot a year deal. One out of five shows(including the farm gig) had some technical problems that cost some time. Mr. Greenwood and company were gracious enough to give the other artists a chance to do their thing. The promos advertised three bands and guests, this is what we paid for. I appreciate the fact that we get to see this group of incredibly talented and unique musicians together again after 30 yrs. They put an unbelievable amount of effort onto making a great show. Sometimes things happen beyond their control, that's part of performing. If people would get into the spirit of Halloween night, get into costume and enjoy the party, I don't think a glitch in the machine would be as big a deal. I think the Saturday before Halloween is the best date and makeup doesn't matter as long as Thermos strips. Thermos - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 3:05 PM EST I must admit this past Saturday was a disappointment for all of us. If you leave us a means of contact, we will imburse funds to those who feel ripped off. Many mistakes were made. Some we could help, some we could not. The opening act started late. The sound system and crew sucked. I panicked when I realized it was nearly 1 AM and there was another act to go on (forgetting about the time change, too. My bad.)We had to rent the club for the night and we were also responsible for paying the support acts. That accounts for the $20 admission. Making money has never been the primary goal of this thing. With that in mind, to focus strictly on music from the thermosphere, in a venue that has reliable sound and staff should be the goal. 1lessjackson has very legitimate gripes and we will do all we can to make amends. There is much discussion among the band members as to how to try this again. We are leaning towards trying to do this at Smith's Olde Bar and just do two shows of Thermoid music. We could use feedback/suggestions from those who attended this last event. Is the Saturday before Halloween the best date? Does it matter to you whether the band is in makeup or not? Give us some constructive feedback. I think we are all in agreement that this past event did not live up to the promise of past orgies. Thermos cricket - Monday, October 30th, 2006 9:21 PM EST Ask me, that was the best twenty dollar I ever spent. Sides the fact that that Thermos Greenwood fella held his Little Jr. for the first time, now I'm gonna be famous and me and Little Jr. are gonna be rich cause Thermos Greenwood is rich and famous and we're gonna get all his stuff. Now if I can find Uncle Daddy that Jerry Springer fella said we could all be on the TV. Plus I got out of the tool shed long enough to dance and do other stuff too. 1lessjackson - Monday, October 30th, 2006 6:52 PM EST The 2006 Halloween Orgy Trick was on those who paid $20 to see the Diamond Lil' Marching Band with a handful of TGCP songs thrown in on the side. A far cry from the last two Halloween shows. Much disappointment. big sister - Monday, October 23rd, 2006 8:51 PM EDT The magic's in the dancing, lost in the music, becoming the music, being the music. You colored people afforded me a freedom of dance that has been my joy to share with more than one uptight white butt and countless women, wall dancing in a corner dying to dance out in the middle of the floor. We lose ourselves in dance. Who could be embarassed with such a rainbow of holy fools singing us forward? Hope to be able to stay awake late enough to make this year's party. cricket - Friday, October 20th, 2006 11:34 AM EDT I ain't never paid no twenty dollar to see no green colored man sing, I ain't gonna start now! Ya'll must think I got rubber brain cells in my head, cause most of ya be my cousins an stuff. Ya'll was comin around to see me bout every day til my belly got all swelt up. I been tryin to tell that Thermos fella that my Little Jr. looks jus like him in the eyes. He won't even look. I'm gonna march my self right down to this "orgy" With Little Jr. an say "Look your lil boy in the face an tell me he ain't yours!!" Leonora - Sunday, September 17th, 2006 12:05 AM EDT I am the most gushing of all your groupies,toad-in-the-hole and elseways...I want to put my hot little hands on your world war one lether helmet,baby and shake some more music outta it,like the time you waggled the dj man into singing with you at Toady's in the mid-70's...Chris Barron is here with me egging me on...but I need no help...your music kicks righteous...!!!! Rhoden - Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006 2:25 PM EDT I saw this band at Georgia Tech outside near a bonfire around the time of a homecoming game in about 1975 or so, if I recall correctly. Maybe even earlier. I was about seven years old. I remembered the name somehow. When I mentioned having seen such a band, nobody ever believed me. Buddha the Magnificent - Monday, July 10th, 2006 1:34 PM EDT saw Thermos open for the HGB reunion at Variety June 2 - fantastic show - you guys were on top of your game. Thanks so much for getting the evening off to a great start. Paul Weibel - Tuesday, July 4th, 2006 8:45 PM EDT Hey Steve Marsh, one of my best times was Langford's Traveling Band! Never seen Thermos, since I moved to Dallas, many years ago. Oh well...just had a memory! Paul Precious - Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 12:33 PM EDT Ya'll get this farmgirl to giddyup and go-go! Bob Smith - Sunday, June 4th, 2006 9:29 PM EDT Hey Tommy, Good to see that you put to use some of my photos I took at Jakes back on Halloween 04. Variety show was fantastic. Hope you all will continue those special shows. Bob PS. Maybe we can work out a special Theroms show sponsored by the Cultural Arts Council out in Douglasville like you did with the League back in the dark ages. Paul Gruendler - Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 3:21 PM EDT Last Night at the Var-riety, Little Five. HIGH FIVES! Sam - Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 12:05 PM EDT Another ripple in the force last night! The bad thing about opening a show is that you don't get to do your full set. How about a headliner show real soon?? Oh and by the way, here's hoping for a Hampton Grease Band world tour. Stupendous! allen black - Sunday, May 28th, 2006 8:42 AM EDT Hey Tommy... well thanks for the memories... i mean i remember you all back then .... boogidy boogidy boogidy booo.... I can't help but laugh when i remember you wearing the t shirt that said 'eat my shorts' and then you all playing Yard Man as thefinal song and you're down to the boxer shorts with the hearts all over em'.. it still makes me laugh. it was a really fun time and great performamnces... see ya'll at the Variety.... om garth sorn - Monday, April 24th, 2006 4:44 PM EDT Ўque Churralб! Anna Whitton - Saturday, March 11th, 2006 5:00 PM EST Hi Tommy! Remember the Whitton Sisters? There are are many memories, some probably shouldn't be listed here! Remember the Wig Mart and Junkies' Cove? I am a Licensed Massage Therapist now currently living in Hutchinson, KS.Teresa became an RN still in the Big "A".We can still meet behind the dumpster if you like (Laughin' Place)! Love, Anna thermos - Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 10:53 AM EST We made a ripple in the Force without a doubt! I was at the merchandise table explaining to some woman that the photos were taken by Jim Wiggins. She asked me who I was and I pointed to the B&W shot of Thermos with pigtails sticking out of the earholes of the WWI fighter pilot helmet. Her eyes got great big and she moved closer, putting her face right up to mine. I said, "Am I supposed to know who you are?" and she just moved closer. I thought maybe I saw a bit of Princess Waki Waki, but I thought she lived in Hawaii. Then, she made a little hula motion with her arms and I knew it was her. I couldn't believe it and I tingled all over all night long. It was more fun than the law allows and I can't thank everyone enough! I think everyone out did themselves this year. Fabulous costumes--the woman with the giant butt, the old lady in the car with ADL stickers, and the guy in the grass skirt and wood cone bikini top who danced his ass off to every song. The legendary Marching Abominables were great as always. Fidelity Teakwood singing Hey, Whiteman! was a gas. Even the mysterious Earth showed up. I don't think I've ever had so much fun. I've already talked to Diamond Lil about singing a couple of songs for next year. If there is something we haven't done that you want to hear, let us know so we can get it together. gil - Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 10:27 AM EST Anybody know who the tall Swiss maiden was at Jake's Sat night? Guy adams - Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 10:05 AM EST Thanks to Thermos and the gang and all of the other bands and musicians for the best night of music we have heard in ages.You guys were right on.This remastered Pinhead Teddy cd sounds excellent, anyone who didn't get one,should immediately.Hark back to a time of innocence and mayhem. Postelle T.DeWitt - Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 9:50 AM EST All in all the evening of Oct.29 went well.We were received graciously by the throngs of youth(well sort of youthful)bathed in various types of sin,such as over indulgence in libation and dancing with sexual overtones.They were set afoot by this band of nor do wells called Thermos Greenwood and the colored people although their tunes were a bit catchy and melodic.The entrance of a marching band called the Marching Abominables was an abomination for sure but I must admit those swing tunes made my feet move a little.I was appalled when my beloved was attacked on the dance floor by a brunhilde type in full regalia, not to mention this green cowboy thing that was attached to her(see pictures to come ).Although we were a bit out of our age bracket,our branch of the Anti-Destination League,S.T.A.L.L,Stop traffic at league's leisure imparted their message with joy and revelation and will look forward to next year IdaBelle DeWitt - Monday, October 31st, 2005 6:46 PM EST I believe my most fond recollection of Mr. Greenwood and his colored ensemble would have to be Saturday evening, at 10:00 p.m., October 29th of 2005, at the establishment of Jake's Toad House. As president of the Madison co-ed Garden Club, and founder of S.T.A.L.L. (stop traffic at league's leisure), the Madison chapter of The Anti- Destination League, not only did I attend the function for some light hearted revelry, but also as a means of raising support for our newly formed organization. I believe we had influence on slowing not only traffic, but the very essence of daily life. To my delight, when I awoke on Sunday morning, October 30th of 2005, to dress for church, I found that time itself had been reversed for one full hour. Truly yours, IdaBelle DeWitt Miles Anderson - Tuesday, September 13th, 2005 4:24 PM EDT Richmond, Virginia, 30 years ago or so, raining torrentially, me and a dozen-or-so artsy hippie types splash and slosh upstairs to see and hear the improbably named TG&theCP. While I'd be lying if I said I remembered more than random details -- a left-handed guitarist, a 5-string Fender bass -- the songs and performance left what appears at this point to be an indelible imprint on my memory. This, I thought, is what a great band is supposed to be. It's thrilling to know that the band are still out there somewhere, doing it. ya kknow - Tuesday, July 5th, 2005 2:19 PM EDT anyway ya know that white guy's song should be on here. ya known the one where he talks to god. just an idea. sorry about the false start up there, in the future i mean past oh fuck it. Buster Heim - Monday, July 4th, 2005 9:10 AM EDT I missed it! You got all colored up and I missed it! Will it happen again? Ever? Now I have to keep checkin' back for another potential sighting. I have such good, if unclear, memories. Piedmont Arts Festival! Runnin' with DDDean to the Last Resort to see the post-Thermos Millionaires, or the Downtown Cafe... My frat brother's 45 rpm copy of Who Gave The Monkey A Gun... Time to check ebay again! michael lee smith - Monday, June 6th, 2005 12:56 PM EDT dean! do you read the guestbook over at LOD? or you dissin' me? it's the guy who taught you how to sing and brought you out of your fear of public performance!!!!!!!!! you playing in atlanta late july? i'm coming there for a convention from L.A. want to feel some piedmont road magic and bask in your aura skizzy giggins - Sunday, April 17th, 2005 1:55 PM EDT doreen! - show me your tit! Penishead Dickson - Friday, April 8th, 2005 12:52 AM EDT No complaints, rite now. But I'm sure to think of one. Oh yea!!! Neill Bogan - Saturday, March 19th, 2005 10:27 AM EST Some big room at Georgia Tech with a curved staircase. I had just assayed that year to dance with girls--more to life than just head-bobbin' along the wall, and it was Thermos that first poured the courage-oil onto my needy joints. I just remember hours of elbows and hips and skank and some pretty girls. Is it my imagination there was makeup puddled on the the stage floor? Then, and the funny thing, this is a happy memory-- on a break, Cheryl Doreen Cochran, in full cowgirl effect, found a reason, from the center of the floor, to go loud on boyfriend Dan Baird and threaten ass whippin' doom, which she continued as Dan slunk out of the room and she followed, along with the crowd's attentive guffaws like this was added entertainment value, and they both disappeared. These guys were my ride home. Rather than being bummed, I remember a happy glow that I had finally met some interesting people. The band started up again, I danced and got home, Doreen apologized to Dan all dovey for a week, and here most of us are today, still alive, minus the ingested combustibles, and glad enough to be. (Peace on those whose bodies can't be here anymore.) To all you fellows on the stage, thanks for the love, rythm oil, skank, smells, and for helping one more little narrow-assed boy learn that the world is definately not black and white--it's colored in so many ways. skizzy giggins - Monday, March 14th, 2005 11:23 AM EST New York City???? get a rope.... colored don't go above the mason-hickson mark - least not that i no of. Hal where is Harmony Grove? Hal Peller - Sunday, March 13th, 2005 9:10 PM EST When are you guys going to play up here in NYC? The last time I saw you... I think was at Harmony Groove... 1976?? Robert Cooper - Monday, March 7th, 2005 4:03 PM EST There was a post-Theremos Thermos recitation at, could it have been Bullfrog Springers in Savannah, in reference to one winsome scuppernong. All Cellophaney and spikey. Pure delight. jimmy wiggins - Tuesday, February 8th, 2005 7:03 PM EST well if terminus is good enuf to git hissef a web site with even his own name on it anybody can. i luvs tg&cp from the date they were encephalated at 3482 piedmont road in hotlanta jawja. i know cause i was there - but i wasn't colored - cept my neck. oh by the way mr terminus did you get my picture of youall that i took long time ago? huh? well that's your own fault and none of mine. all that color in one place, whew!!! somebody went wanting that day fur sure.... jimmy wiggins - Tuesday, February 8th, 2005 6:59 PM EST well if terminus is good enuf to git hissef a web site with even his own name on it anybody can. Thermos Greenwood - Monday, February 7th, 2005 11:43 PM EST From where I am, now, it was all good. Even the rough spots have a rosy glow from here. If you missed Halloween 2004 at Jake's, you missed a great time. I had a blast. I saw many familiar faces in the crowd, but I didn't get to speak to everybody. It was such a love-fest. Ick Driftwood, Romilar Wildwood, and Creeton Crestwood, made me feel at home and the incredible Blob Greasewood (the Q's Bob Elsey) did an unbelievable job on guitar. I only seriously mangled a few numbers and managed to remember most of the lyrics I was supposed to sing. Considering that we were on stage for over two hours, that's not too shabby. I hope this page gets filled up with views of events,gigs, and general history of TG&CP. Onward beyond the threshold of embarrassment! thermos Go Home |
