Saturday Matinee – Tav Falco & Panther Burns, Rory Block, Don Leady & The Tailgators
Tav Falco is a punkabilly oddity who’s been around for a while.
Rory Block cooks up a big batch o’ Robert Johnson and serves it hot.
If I’m not mistaken, The Tailgators were a spinoff band featuring bassist Keith Ferguson from The Fabulous Thunderbirds back in the 80s, as if it matters. Don Leady rocks.
Have a great Hamas-Free weekend folks. See you back here tomorrow.

Not sure which is more disturbing – the helmet or the head on the long neck wearing it.
As offered on Etsy:
A coveted treasure. This thick, red, felt, vintage riding cap was taken to the heights of head couture as I adorned it with huge German glass doll eyes, paint, a rare mix of feathers, a silky ponytail extension attached with scraps from a favourite old shirt covered with vintage pins and then … REAL horse teeth! A one of a kind creation. Just shot for a magazine editorial. This piece will turn heads at events or would also be a stunning addition in your home to your art collection. A total conversation piece.

Saturday Matinee – Johnny Winter (1944–2014)
Johnny Winter, legendary guitarist and one of the most recognizable icons of Texas blues and rock passed away at the age of 70 earlier this week after a long career.
In a documentary released this year entitled “Johnny Winter Down and Dirty,” he laughed, “Made my first record when I was 15, started playing clubs when I was 15. Started drinking and smoking when I was 15. Sex when I was 15. Fifteen was a big year for me.”
According to Wiki, at age 10 he and his 8 year old brother Edgar played on local TV in his hometown of Beaumont Texas. Johnny Winter performed for an astounding 60 years, and he died while on still on tour.
RIP, Johnny. You made our roadtrips a hellalotta fun.
