Party Hard, Little Isidore & The Inquisitors (date unknown) Can’t find a date for this gem, could be 1993 or 2012, but I love it. Little Isidore is/was the alter ego of David Forman, a little known musician with a great resume; he fronts The Inquisitors, aka The Golden Inquisitors, aka The Mighty Inquisitors. Forman is 10 years younger than Little Isidore.
Sound up for pure awesome.

Saturday Matinee Christmas – Jason D. Williams, The Petersens, and Leon Redbone w/ Ken Peplowski & Dr. John
Jason D. Williams is a madman on the ivories, and the video was posted on the Utoobage just a few days ago.
The Petersens‘ Sleigh Ride [2:31] is a fun take on one of my favorites.
“Listen to how perfect this is…
The Doctor, Leon, and the heir to Benny Goodman…”
Leon Redbone, Dr. John and Ken Peplowski make a great trio, and Leon spelled backwards is, well, you know.
Have a great pre-holiday weekend, be back here tomorrow for some last minute shopping.
