Saturday Matinee – Fiona Boyes, The Stacy Mitchhart Band, and Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos

Aussie Fiona Boyes grew up near the backwater bayous of the Melbourne Delta and it shows. She plays a variety of styles, all anchored to the blues. Legendary pianist Pinetop Perkins described her as “the best gal guitarist I heard since Memphis Minnie.”

The Stacy Mitchhart Band covered Johnny Winter‘s Tbe Monkey Song at the Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar in Nashville (2018).

Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos mixes Delta blues, NOLA second line funk and 60’s jams with classic rock. No self-indulgent wheedly-wheedly solos here.

I must have overslept for a few days because this week just flew by. See you back here a week before next Sunday.

Think Like A Proton

“I’m pretty sure this is a Beryllium atom and the artist just used artistic license to depict the 8 protons and neutrons in the nucleus as the atom’s body (1), eyes (2), teeth (4), and tongue (1). He also portrayed the atom part way through the oxidation process, which is why it still has 3 electrons instead of the traditional 2 that form the Be+2 ion. But even midway through oxidation, the atom would still have a positive charge. So the shirt is technically (though artistically) correct.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with that.”
