There were a lot of groups called The Squires, this one had someone named Ritchie. Possibly from New Jersey, I dunno, but I do know that the flip side of this rare 45 is Beat Party Pt. 2.

Saturday Matinee – Leroy Thomas & The Zydeco Roadrunners, Lisa Mann, and Joe Hodgson

Skadeco! Leroy Thomas & The Zydeco Roadrunners‘ song has little connection to Dale Hawkin’s 1957 hit Suzie Q aside from the title. I like it.

Award-winning bassist, singer/songwriter Lisa Mann grew up in West Virginia, moved to Portland, Oregon.  She says the song is based on a true story, so it’s either about a boyfriend’s addictions, his a-ho buddies, or both.

From his bio: “Guitarist Joe Hodgson hails from the village of Ballymagorry in Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. His music, shaped by his upbringing during The Troubles, mirrors the fierce rain and winds of the Emerald Isle. It is both sweeping and intense, boldly blending rock, blues, jazz, and Irish traditions into finely crafted instrumentals.”

On 14 June 1775, 250 years ago, the United States Army was founded.
Happy anniversary to the greatest protector of freedom and liberty in the world:“This We’ll Defend!” 

Lotta stuff to cover at porch time tomorrow. See you then and there.
