Saturday Matinee – Alien / Super 8 Daze, Shannon McNally, Tom Jones & George Thorogood

Hamptons in Space
“This one stars grown-ups, but it was still directed/edited/animated by a ’70s Kid with a Super 8 camera in Hyannis, MA in 1979. Sound added decades later after he reluctantly grew up. Check out the award-winning documentary on the making of all his films at super8daze.com.”

Shannon McNally,  Audley Freed, Eric Deaton and Cedric Burnside make for a tight combo.

Tom Jones does mighty fine work with the blues. From the Utoobage comments: “He walked on stage, didn’t say a word, and laid this down. Absolutely killed the audience with the first song.”

George Thorogood covered a lot of blues classics in his own style, including this one by  Howlin’ Wolf.

Kinda glad this week is over and done with because I have a porch to take care of tomorrow. See you there.
