Emil and the Palookas ... It really began just before the end of the second millennium, in the great nation state called the "United States". From humble hovels in big towns, to great stone residences in small towns, came a number of focused entities, like beams of light, really, all making their way by different paths, to a focal point in some Erie place in the northwestern part of the province called, "Pennsylvania". Tremendous energy from these entities intersected and coalesced into wave patterns called "Audio", creating things called, "Music", "Jazz", "Blues", and "Rock". Those who could get near to the phenomena during these focused outbursts have described the experience as "Blazing" and, "Hot!!!" On the planet, the phenomenon is commonly known as, "Emil and the Palookas". |
