Saturday Matinee: Tammet, Clarke & Dawe, Bob & Ray, The Bobs, The Rays, The Silhouettes, and RAY CHARLES
Daniel Tammet is amazing.
Clarke and Dawe. Full story can be found here.
Here’s Bob and Ray. Google them for more classic straight faced funnies.
The Bobs’ A capellaness is only mildly annoying and somewhat entertaining.
The Rays, with “Silhouettes on the Shade.”
The Silhouettes’ “Get A [lipsinch] Job.”
The Late Great Ray Charles: “Shake A Tail Feather!” from the movie “The Blues Brothers.” (Watch for Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn, with Matt “Guitar” Murphy.)

Babe Magnet: The James Bondomobile
Well, what do we have here, but a Pontiac POS that’s obviously in the process of restoration by the assistant manager of the world renowned Cable Car Hotel. Hmmm. Babe Magnet perhaps?
Smells like San Fran to me, and since the sun seems to be setting, I’d guess that Assistant Manager Baboso is on the night shift, especially since no sane person would wanna be seen within ten feet of this Babe Magnet in the daylight. To his credit, though, Ass. Man. Baboso knows how to park on a slope.
By the way, the only other image I found of the Cable Car Hotel is this one:
Maybe the owner of the four-wheeled flounder actually LIVES here. My apologies to the manager.
Saturday Matinee: We lost a couple of greats this week. Jerry Reed & Bill Melendez.
“Amos Moses” was my favorite Jerry Reed song. My younger sister had the 45rpm record, and I didn’t. (But I knew all the words, and she didn’t.)
Chet Atkins is a treasure, and Jerry Reed was a classic. There’s more of J.R.’s Pickin’ n’ Grinnin’ at RockHoppers. (Dan, you beat me to it!) God bless Jerry.
Here’s Chet Atkins with Suzy Bogguss.
And here’s Suzy Boggus with Chet Atkins.
Bill Melendez. You’ve seen his stuff. You’ve heard his stuff. Seems kinda appropriate that there is no video, and I relive part of my childhood whenever I hear this song.
What a Jackass.
Happy Labor Day!

Miss Blank
Not much explanation is necessary for these, unless you have dirt on the babes that you wanna share.
Miss Darby’s Restaurant.
Miss Arthur Godfrey Road.
Miss Auto Show 1965 is really Miss Van Nuys, standing next to Mr. Scissors who is cutting off the last of her tentacles.
Miss WSTC Alumni 1948.
Miss OCT 60.
Miss Somethingorother 1946, Taylor, Texas. (Standing on stilettos in dirt, her name is Flo Kruger, age 16.)
