Wilson‘s playing the entire game, boys. Protect him.
(Wot’s that? You haven’t prepared anything for your self-invited guests? Bunk’s Chili is here. 1 hour prep, 1 hour cooking and you’re done.)
The Saturday Matinee – Mississippi Fred McDowell, Roscoe Holcomb & The Dixie Hummingbirds
Mississippi Fred McDowell‘s version of Bukka White‘s “Shake ‘Em On Down.” (This version is hot, too.)
Roscoe Holcomb plays “Graveyard Blues.” Pure Appalachian finger style guitar. So where can we go from here? Oh wait. I know.
The Dixie Hummingbirds are one of the greatest soul Gospel groups ever, with a track record dating to 1928. We’re all on God’s Radar whether you accept it or not, and that’s a wrap for this edition of the Saturday Matinee.

This amused me; it disturbed me also:
PJ Media founder Roger Simon interviews Bernie Sanders supporters.

The Titanic Movie Floating Door Analysis
Yep. There’s hard proof that two people could have fit on it, and Jack shouldn’t have had to slip off into the drink.
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! Was it teak, pine or oak?

This Creeps Me Right Out.
“Every towel has 10,290 thirsty little dimples.”
That little Irish bastard is stealing your bacon and drilling holes into your skull with those unholy eyes. Reminds me of this.

Just say it… SAY IT!

Alfred Hitchcock’s Storyboards
Storyboards are planning tools, cartoon sketches that depict critical or pertinent scenes in animation, movies (and even amusement park rides). It’s an easy editing process for something that has yet to be filmed, but you already knew that, ya? Have you seen any? Check out these thumbnails.
Jamaica Inn 1936.
Saboteur 1942.
Vertigo 1958.
The Birds 1963.
Marnie 1964.
Family Plot 1976.
Alfred Hitchcock used storyboards for all his movies, and there’s a nice collection here [via].

„Digi Fonful” ieste un instrument muzical inventat de Ştefan Popescu, fost concurent la „Românii au talent .În ciuda numelui, instrumentul nu are nicio componentă digitală.

Well, duh. [via]
Buddy Guy from February 2015, pushing 80 years at the time of that interview. He always looked like he had fun playing, as he did in this 1989 vid with Stevie Ray Vaughan:
That wraps it up for this edition of the Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend, and we’ll have more fun tomorrow.
