from director J. Brian – a clip from First Time Round (1972)
lots of folks seem to have an opinion about Joe Markhum (here, Tony, the model) – me? he’s hot, talks sexy, and he’s hot.

I second that! He’s hot, hot, hot. I’ve followed him since the beginning.
I remember this one, and how cleverly each scene works in the next performer and rotates through them all similar to the play I mentioned in the review, La Ronde. Also some of the music like the Grateful Dead song Dark Star and some Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, and there was a bunch more I never figured out. Joe M was a stud and I enjoyed his scene a lot, along with both the ones with the sailor (Timothy Simons).
I just want to tack on a quick reply to myself here, not sure if I ever shared with you the songs I was able to identify from this film or not and approximately when they are heard. At least the pairings for the scenes which would help place them. There are surely more that could be identified but this can be a starting point:
* The Who – Tommy overture [surfer/salesman]
* Grateful Dead – Dark Star [photographer/model]
* Jimi Hendrix? [cyclist/sailor]
* Fleetwood Mac – Albatross [sailor/surfer]
* Pink Floyd – One Of These Days [sailor/surfer]
More video clips! And I love J Brian, and Joe Markum. What’s not to love?
He can reach out and touch me anytime. From the past, I guess I mean? I was trying to use the line from the film poster. Oh, whatever.
Great clips. I love seeing the interview and hearing Joe Markham’s sexy voice. I’m amazed by how much they committed to scenes that were not overtly sexual. I mean, the build up. Almost 7 min of them talking. That’s a lot for what some would consider b-role stuff. I don’t think you’d see that in gay porn today. But it really builds to the sex.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
