Saturday Matinee – Sergi Estella, The James Hunter Six & The Guy Forsyth Blues Band
A one man band, Sergi Estella studied musical education at the University of Barcelona (2010) and completed the intermediate degree at L’Aula (the Liceu Conservatory of Jazz and Modern Music, 2011). He is known for building his own instruments; he plays guitars made from broom handles, beer cans, or even a wooden box with a tap pouring wine, among others. Following blues aesthetics, his lyrics deal with everyday events and personal experiences, both in Catalan and English, with satirical humor that is also reflected in his stage presence. [Wiki]
The James Hunter Six – James Hunter is a Grammy-nominated soul/R&B singer/songwriter from Essex, England. He began his recording career in 1986, and collaborated with Van Morrison on several records. Good stuff.
Blues legend based in Austin, Texas, Guy Forsyth has a long resume of recording and performing around the world, with many awards to boot. (He’s got a knack for storytelling also, as evidenced in his bio.)
I realized a long time ago that government has a weasel infestation, but I never imagined it mestasizing. A late reckoning is better than none at all. The good news is that The Strait is open again (at least for now) and gas prices should be turning back to normal. Now about those taxes…
Ah, I’m wishing for too much; besides, Porch Time is on tomorrow’s to-do list and we can solve the problems of the world then. See you there.

Kudzu
From The Kudzu Project, photography by Helene Schmitz, 2012.
Helene Schmitz began documenting kudzu while working on a field study in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, to investigate the effects of its ruinous nature in the summer of 2012. Each black and white frame produced took hours of preparation in the sweltering southern heat using a special large format camera.

Cutouts of Paperboyo
“Someone once described me as a non-destructive vandal which I quite like. Within the confines of a camera viewfinder I transform known, and some not so well known landmarks around the world with bits of crafted black card.” – Rich McCor (aka Paperboyo).
