Saturday Matinee – Rowan Atkinson, The All Night Long Blues Band, Samantha Fish & Satchmo

https://youtu.be/6Sf_pogZ8jE

Rowan Atkinson plays air drums with brilliance.

The All Night Long Blues Band at The Cat Head Store in Clarksville Mississippi, 2013. There’s something both absurd and awesome going on there, and I like it.

This one’s a jawdropper. Samantha Fish kills it on a 4-string cigar box guitar. From Wiki:

During the summer of 2013, Fish was called up on stage to play with a skeptical Buddy Guy who was so impressed with her playing on the guitar, he declared with a beaming smile to his audience, “When this kind of shit happens, I’ll play all night!”

Let’s wrap it up with some Satchmo. This 1933 version of “Dinah” was some great jump blues.

Have a great weekend and we’ll roll again tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – The Bosstones, Ska-P & The Skamonics

I’m kind of on a ska kick. It helps me decompress after all the holiday festivities, so here we go.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones‘ “The Rascal King” from 1997.

Ska-P rocks from Madrid. From what I gather, they’re a popular anarchist ska band in Europe.

This cover of “Tainted Love” by The Skamonics is kind of interesting.

Happy New Year, have a great weekend, folks, and I’ll be over this nasty head cold soon.
