Mickey’s Dreamy Spuds
fluckyducky – 23 August 2018
“This isn’t from 1960, I made it this morning while I drank my coffee. I posted it on my facebook page at about 10:45am, which was a couple of minutes after I finished making it. That’s my watermark, ‘Clarington Shpoo Imagification’, next to the french fries. It’s a joke, a parody.”

Saturday Matinee – Mitch Woods, The Bruce Katz Band & Tas Cru
Born in Brooklyn in 1951, Mitch Woods began playing classical piano at eleven, but his real initiation into blues and boogie piano had already been assured at age eight. “My mom would hire this superintendent of the building, a black man, Mr. Brown, to take me to school, and we stopped off at his cousin’s house, where somebody was playing boogie-woogie piano. It really hit me.”
Mitch Woods (without his Rocket 88s) makes it look easy on the streets of New York.
The Bruce Katz Band features Bruce Katz on Hammond B3, Aaron Lieberman on guitar and drummer Liviu Pop (whose snare mic got disconnected in this song).
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Tas Cru is an eclectic, performing original songs that mix roots rock, blues and gospel. Good stuff.
Some interesting historical events transpired this week, and now we’re in the danger zone – a lot can happen between now and January 20.
Good news on the home front. I attended a laser show that lasted two minutes, cost me a few clams, and now my left eye can spot a red tail hawk before it spots me. The porch will be open for business tomorrow as usual, see you there.

Art du Shart
“The LAM museum in the Netherlands had artist Alexandre Lavet’s beer can sculptures on display on the floor, when it was accidentally thrown in the trash by a staff member.
The work, titled All The Good Times We Spent Together, was being exhibited at the LAM museum in the Netherlands. The piece looks like two empty and crushed beer cans that carelessly been left behind. However, upon closer inspection, they are actually tiny sculptures that have been meticulously hand-painted with acrylics.”
