Also, muchísimas grassyass to those of you who contributed to the PayPal Donation Account. I’m not in this for profit and don’t beg, but that doesn’t rule out blogwhoring. In any case, I appreciate it, and a dime a day keeps the meerkats away – cutesy little standy-uppy weasel-lookin’ bastards.
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.

Anita
Very little can be found about Anita the Elephant Girl on the internet.
A defunct website may have had a biography of sorts but I couldn’t find an archive of the article: “Anita The Elephant-Faced Girl: Embracing Uniqueness and Overcoming Challenges.”
