Saturday Matinee – Flaco Jiménez, Big George Brock & Dan Patlansky
Flaco Jiménez (1939-2025) began playing the bajo sexto at the age of seven with his father, Santiago Jiménez Sr., a pioneer of conjunto music. He later adopted the accordion after being influenced by his father as well as zydeco musician Clifton Chenier.
Big George Brock was born in Grenada, Mississippi on May 16, 1932. By the time he was eight, he was working as a sharecropper picking cotton. He moved to Mattson, Mississippin, while in his teens, met and performed with Muddy Waters. In the late 1940s he moved to Walls, Mississippi where Howlin’ Wolf hired him as a roadie and sideman, and while in Walls he jammed with Memphis Minnie at house parties.
Dan Patlansky was voted the #4 Best Guitarist in the world and (besides Joe Bonamassa!) remains the only artist in the world with two worldwide No. 1, and two worldwide No. 2 Best Blues Rock Albums as voted by Blues Rock Review USA.
Got a lotta stuff to think about getting around to planning to do one of these days, but not tomorrow because I’ve got an appointment on the porch around porch time. See you there.

Saturday Matinee – Emmaline, The Teskey Brothers & Toby Lee
“Quite Like Me” is a diss track that I wrote to my friend’s EX-boyfriend. Now, I don’t write diss tracks often, but this guy was the absolute worst, folks — and that’s putting it in the nicest way possible!”
Vocalist, violinist and songwriter Emmaline has won much recognition for her jazz / torch song recordings and performances both on stage and on screen. I think this is one of the prettiest f-u songs I’ve ever heard. [h/t Octo.]
Josh Teskey (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Sam Teskey (lead guitar) formed The Tesky Brothers in 2008. Based in Melbourne, Australia, they faithfully resurrect the sounds of 1960s/70s soul.
Born in Oxfordshire England in 2005, Toby Lee played Zack Mooneyham in the New London Theatre production of School of Rock the Musical in 2016 and was named UK Young Blues Artist of the Year in 2018. Since then he’s shared the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons, Peter Frampton, Slash, Joe Bonamassa, and Jools Holland, and has a number one record to boot.
We didn’t have any junebugs this year, but the julybugs made a good show. I found some barfed up catfood next to the trash bin, and the neighbor got a new roof and a Solatube. I was informed that the word picnic is racist for some made-up reason, and tomorrow is porch time. See you around half past whenever.
