Compare this portrait with this one. Spooky resemblance.
Even toddlers know they have a job to do.
[Top image: Found it with an arbitrary Google image search “Green+Danger+Run.” It’s not the entrance to a trendy Irish Ska bar. It’s an exit from an amazing subway station in Stockholm.

In 1966, rock power trio Cream had a hit with “I’m So Glad.” It was written and recorded in 1931 by Mississippi bluesman Nehemiah Curtis “Skip” James. Here’s James’ original version.

Saturday Matinee – Having a Picnic, New Grass Revival & Leftover Salmon
Having a picnic [via]. Ants are not the problem in this clever short.
New Grass Revival from an appearance on Austin City Limits ca. 1983. Their version of John Hartford’s “Steam Powered Aeroplane” is one of my all time favorites.
Leftover Salmon from 2012. They’ve been around since 1989 and describe their mix of bluegrass, rock, country, and Cajun/Zydeco, “polyethnic cajun slamgrass.” Nice stuff.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here in a few hours.
