Saturday Matinee – Leon Russell, Dr. John, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jimmy Smith; Red Nichols, Pete Candoli & Al Hirt
Saturday, 20 August 2011
That’s Claude Russell Bridges, aka Leon Russell, 1964.
That’s Malcom John Rebennack, Jr., aka Dr. John, playing Stephen Foster‘s “Swanee River Boogie.” Not sure what year this one’s from.
The Squirrel Nut Zippers‘ “Ghost of Stephen Foster” has been posted here before, but I like it.
Bill Doggett‘s “Honky Tonk” by Jimmy Smith is a head-bobber.
Three of the greatest trumpet players of all time: Red Nichols, Pete Candoli and Al Hirt playing “Hot Lips,” ca. 1964.
That’s it for now. Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

The ScenicBruiser: Another One Rides The Bust
Wednesday, 17 August 2011
Roll up for The Tragical History Tour of all 57 States on The STIMUBUS!
To be fair, that’s the tour bus from when Obama was campaigning for President Senator Governor Mayor Teacher Community Activist, and we apologize for the innocuous snark – NOT. It appears that he’s envious of someone else’s bus tour (whose name we won’t mention, but her initials are Sarah Palin).
Doug Ross@Journal posted what is purportedly a sketch of Obama’s ScenicBruiser, but it’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that the image was cropped [view original here; click on the image below to enlarge].
The original image was definitely cropped as it eliminated the trailer labeled “Fox” at the rear. At first we thought that it might be Michelle’s private trailer, but everyone knows that her caboose is much bigger. Therefore it must refer to FOX News, installed as a design afterthought, with a hydraulic pin to make it easy to disconnect. (And, yes, the steering wheel is on the wrong side, as Obama cruises on the left.)

Interview with a 1-year old, with subtitles.
“It’s A Good Life” was a short story written by Jerome Bixby in 1953 that was turned into one of the creepiest Twilight Zone episodes ever.
Beat Generation was written by Rod McKuen.
The Late Country Dick Montana had a solo EP. Listen to snippets here (NSFW).
Wow. I’d never heard of “Action Park.” This amusement park was so dangerous the owners were forced to buy additional ambulances for the local hospital. Lemur King mentioned it here, with additional links here, here and here.
