Update: P.J. O’Rourke’s book “All The Trouble In The World” is a good read.
Saturday Matinee – Charlie Musselwhite with Ben Harper, Walter Trout with Joe Bonamassa, & Anders Osborne
Great jam from 2013 with Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite.
Walter Trout kicks Joe Bonamassa loose at the Winter Park “Blues From The Top” music festival in 2007.
Anders Osborne slides into Swamp/Soca/Reggae mashup with a nice groove.
Great stuff to rock you for a while. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll be back tomorrow whether you like it or not.

Medieval WTF
A long, long time ago this painting made complete sense.
There’s a wood-fired forge, anvils, metal working tools, a peacock, a gryphon(?!) a deer and a bigass possum watching a naked man without genitalia cringe as a woman takes an axe to a parrot while the wind is blowing.
It’s an illustration from a French manuscript entitled The Personification of Nature Making Birds, Animals and People [ca. 1405].
Okay, so Mother Nature had already finished creating The Birds, The Animals and at least one of The People, but then she realized that the poor guy needed a pecker. If anyone else has a better analysis, post it, because I’m done here.

Saturday Matinee – Jimbino Vegan, Tuba Skinny, & The Rebirth Brass Band
Apparently that’s Jimbino Vegan and someone or something known as Zugdidi with a decent backup band.
Tuba Skinny on the streets of NOLA. The dog gets it.
The Rebirth Brass Band are the real deal (but please, give us at least one chord change).
Have a great Mardis Gras and Do Watcha Wanna.
