Had to hold this one back for today. And gosh darn it if a witch didn't find her way into it! Don't blame me----I just got the ball rolling:   

Sag on, anti-mega-hero monster. Refract espagnol (olé!). Merc. Rev: "Ol' Graveyard", etc. Craps (s)mash Sam's spar: cc. Ted Ray, Eva, R. Glover... Creme (Lol) on gap-set car ferrets no more. Hag, emit nano-gas!

Not sure who''s the most prolific of us these days, lol.

If the time I take to construct most 'dromes can be measured in hours, this one fell wonderfully into place in mere minutes:

Andrea: Sunrays yarn USA... er, DNA
This next one pays tribute to a great Henn-Wilson song. Scotland makes a welcome reappearance in the company of an ancient British tribe:  

Loop Al, Lulu. O sunshine----cigar dew! Ol' soulful Ullapool. All Iceni: Danko, ol' man, P. Namlook, Nadine, Cilla... Loop Al, Lulu----'flu (Oslo). We drag Iceni H's (Nu-Soul Ullapool)
Given that Rick Henn was a member of 'Murray's band' SUNrays (with their hit "I Live For The Sun"), I wondered if "Soulful Ol' Man SUNshine" could have been Henn's tribute to Ol' Man Wilson(?)...

This is another experiMENTAL(?) haiku-palindrome. A tribute to the 3 great STEPHENs in Beach Boys history. Lyricist (and a fine poet in his 'own write'!: Kalinich. And the two excellent BB sound engineers: Desper (sadly decamping Smiley!) & Moffitt. ["Even Steven" allegedly a working title for Busy Doin' Nothin', which (the first one) may or may not have been dedicated to Kalinich and/or Desper:]

>Never 'Even Stephen',
eh?  pet/s*-Stephen, eh:
pets 'n' EVER even<

With Hallowe'en being celebrated in our street tonight (absurd----it's not a Dutch tradition, just another way of milking the gullible Dutch public), I knocked together this ode to the most ghoulish BB song in an hour or two. <Solution> being the devilishly awkward word it is to reverse, I had to be creative (again):

Deficit, eh? Tap my solution! I hem, 'tis I. Is it "Me hi"? No, it "U lo"! (Sympathetic, I fed.)

John's fine halloween palindrome in a halloween-waka-pal version:

>Deficit, eh?  tap!

"My Solution" - I hem, 'tis

I. Aha!  Is it

"Me, Hi"?   No, it "U, lo"!

Sympathetic I fed<

Loop de loop. Re-vocallize. Al, Al… Al!

La La La! EZ. I’ll a’ cover. Pool, Ed. Pool!


In Brian's new book, he states that HE would like to complete Loop de Loop, although Al did that several years ago, reeleased on an official Beach Boys compilation/sampler? Very confusing indeed! Anyway here's CenturyDeprived's palindrome in an extended waka-'drome remix:

>He: "Loop de Loop; RE-
vocallize, A.J.! Al, AL!
á la L°**, Al, DARN!!!"
"Rad: la-la-la-la-la - JAEZ!
I'll a-COVER pooled pool, eh?"<

I'm now working on a more complex 'drome which I hope to finish sometime this week...

And this is it. What began as a paean to the musicians on Surfer Girl ended up all over the place, the Netherlands included:

Spam, Al? "Racine veneer!" "U, a mellow Z!" Taping ELO (Lynne), David's unit solo. Tip a crew, Otto. No mega Mike----esoteric Sid Sharp! One's Selmer amp as an airbag, as lacunae. Keanu, Cal. Saga, Brian... asap, Ma. R.E.M. lessen Oprah's disc ire to seek image: Mo (not Tower Capitol) Ostin. U.S. diva Denny (lol), e.g., nip at Zwolle, Maureen. Even I, Carl, am a P.S.

A palindrome on middle-aged reflections on having quit a certain famous band as a teenager. Gotta make sure not to get in a rut by being stuck in the den for too long, and try to look at the brighter side of life.

Dam! Bye, Dave!  Marks turned 15

51. Den rut. Skram! Evade. Y b mad?

[Starring among others: Al.J./ Dave Marks/Mike L & his harpist sister, Maureen (OR is it just David's microphone turned off?)//Keanu Reeves/Oprah, having back pains (like CARL)/former Warner (NOT Capitol!) boss Mo Ostin/The Wilson Bros. & and Carl's former father-in-law Otto 'PoP' Hinsche/Sid Sharp of Pet Sounds fame and flying 'dutchman', the 'K'-ster himself (my input, I'm afraid!:)

First posted at my other board earlier this week, this 'drome is dedicated to the Rovell family, a safe haven for Brian from the early '60s on:

Reg ("Italia"): Hiya, Marilyn, I've rupees! (King I, reign IV.) Ride us to Noel, Rovell! Lewis, I video denim tops----a "Hen Aid" (Sahara). Barbara has, Diane has; pot mine, Doe (divisi). Well... Lev or Leo? Not sued, Irving (i.e., rig Nik, see pure vinyl). Ira, may I hail a tiger?

The phrase "wholly holy cow" has always intrigued me----hence this palindrome:

Wow! O cow! Ten olives mar vinyl. Oh goddess idyll, oh wholly dissed dog! Holy "Nivram"'s evil one-two cow: "Ow!"

For the uninitiated, "Nivram" is a cool instrumental by The Shadows. Very handy when confronted by the letters <niv>...

You'd think "Country Air" (the song) and Chamberlin (the instrument, as heard in the song) would be the easiest of words on which to build a palindrome. Well, Air was okay, I suppose...     

Fresh air, Utah. (Wotan, it's O [mid.], C [lt.], Y [rt.].) Nu-octane Rossini? Pah! Chamberlin----"des rêveries" oppose. I reversed "nilreb", Ma! H. Chapin is sore. Nat, country, TLC, dim ostinato... What? Uriah, serf

There may not be a photo of all nine Beach Boys together but this sprawling mess of a 'drome goes some way towards compensating for that omission by combining all of their surnames. As always, <Wilson> was the problem name to reverse, hence the play with L and XL...   

Emu Love? I'm a Johnston! (Knits Rex if Fataar rub a kook.) Nil? Pah! Choose no Marks, Alfred. No Wilson I.D., Enid. "Raja Hostel" big? XL! ("King Nik LX Giblets".) Oh... a Jardine! ("Dino's"? L!) I wonder-flask Ramones. Ooh, Chaplin kookaburra at affixer's tin knots. Ho, Jamie----volume!

This quickie contemplates the change from <break> to <broke> in the Boys' version of "SJB". One way to resolve an impossible combination of letters arrived at by reversing a word is to question them:*

No net timbre? Break a sloop now! (Broke 'em, John.) Ho, J. Meek orb won pools, aka E.R.B. (E.R.B.?). Mitten on!

* Another is to make those letters stand for something, as in >Fresno's up at southern air, Marat. Author Ian R., eh? Trondheim, i.e., HD. Northern air: oh tuatara! Mr Ian R., eh? T.U.O.S. (tap us on, serf)<

My humble ode to krablaw's latest masterpiece took a little longer to construct than I expected. The slightly iffy extremities took me the best part of a day to think up. Away from the computer, of course----in fact, the entire palindrome (with a leading role for Alan) was worked out exclusively on paper and/or in my head: 

Sedan, Alp, see, kill! A G.I. duo yodels "I am A.J.'s Mr Owsley"/"El Paso". Rosa Pleyel's worms jam aisle. Do you dig Al like esplanades?
