“Hey Dad! I got a dollar! Can I borrow $19?”
It’s all in the advertising. Note that the $1 seahorses are not “Darling Pet Seahorses” (never mind that the ones in the picture are kinda dead and dessicated, and that just about anywhere in the world one can dig up sea shells hundreds of miles inland)…
But monkeys!
My dad knew that seahorses wouldn’t crap all over the house, wouldn’t get into the cupboard in the middle of the night to get at the strawberry preserves by dropping the jar on the tile floor, and wouldn’t attack your face when you looked them in the eye. Dad was wise beyond his years.
“So can I get the seahorses?”
“No.”

5.0 4.7earthquake about 8:40pm, near L.A. The cat went spastic, which is the cat’s job. On the other hand, I just clicked on another link for a future post.
“…so I’m commissioning you to create a lasting statue, one that represents our country’s honor, bravery and courage in the face of adversity.”
“How about a ferocious lion, fighting its way to freedom?”
“No. I want a goat.”
“A goat, sir?”
“Yes. A goat with a pike.”
“A goat holding a fish, sir?”
“No. A goat holding a pike, a lance.”
“A jousting goat, sir?”
“No. A goat just holding a lance, to show that we are peaceful at heart, yet are capable of defending ourselves should we need to. And it’s got to be a Christian goat.”
“But sir, not all of our countrymen are Christians.”
“So include our flag, to unite us, and to recognize the Christians as well.”
“You got it.”
And it struck fear in the hearts of no one…

Diesel speaks about work, kids, farming, mafia, pirates. The Anti-Boxxy.
Alison Brown has got to be one of the best banjo pickers I’ve ever heard. Very few can play like this without the comfort of studio editing.
Here’s Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, 7 years old, with Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass.
Here’s Ricky Skaggs’ classic “Highway 40 Blues” with the seminal bluegrass backup band, the Boston Pops.
Carl Perkins was one cool rockabilly cat. He’s got an interesting back up band in this video… too hot to handle and too cold to hold.
Folks– We’ve been posting .gif animations every Friday, and although we’d prefer to give credit, the majority (but not all) of the .gif’s we post are pilfered from a handful of collection sites that give no credit to the original authors. So here’s a poll. Lemme know what you think. –Bunk
[Update 21 May 2009 – When we post images and .gif animations like these, TR usually (but not always) renames and saves them in this format:
Boogedyboogedy_websitefoundat 090521.extention
Name of the image, followed by the name of the site, followed by the date that our crack team of webminers found it, in the format of yr/mo/day, followed by .jpg, gif, etc. This allows us to archive unpublished images and to credit the sources later. It’s a sloppy but honest way to do it.
To find the hidden sources, all you need to do is hover your cursor over them. Rock on. –Bunk]
It all makes sense now, considering Jimbo Hendrix’ love of the ‘grass and his discography:
Hey Bud
Purple Hayes (tribute to Woody)
All Along the Wheat Flour
Breakdown Traffic
MooMoo Child
Stone Fence
Fox-N-Ladle
The Wind Cries Opal
(Many more classics were showcased at the Monterrey International Harvester Festival in 1970.)
Aside from Jimbo, The GrooveGrass Boyz mixed some Grand Ole Opry standards with funk, with Bootsy Collins on bass. Really.
