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.
In New South Wales, The Spiders Are Huge.
A 1.5m long goanna gave a man a fright when it scaled the outside of his home. Eric Holland had been working in his shed in Thurgoona, New South Wales, when he saw the unexpected visitor darting across his property. Holland, who managed to snap a picture of the goanna, said: “I saw movement as I came out of the shed and I had a look and thought, bloody hell what is this thing? When I recovered from the shock I went inside and got a camera.” Goannas are often found in eastern Australia but generally live in the bush. They are typically wary of humans but are considered potentially dangerous on account of their bite. This one, thought to be a lace monitor goanna, hasn’t been spotted since it scampered away. A spokesman for the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage said the lace monitor could grow up to two metres in length and weigh up to 20kg.

Oh, and if you were wondering, that’s a Haggis. Only Scots eat them, and it explains and justifies the honorable tradition of wearing kilts.

Zombie coins. Someone’s probably trying to make a pithy artistic political statement, but they’re still kinda cool.

Saturday Matinee – Rowan Atkinson, The All Night Long Blues Band, Samantha Fish & Satchmo
Rowan Atkinson plays air drums with brilliance.
The All Night Long Blues Band at The Cat Head Store in Clarksville Mississippi, 2013. There’s something both absurd and awesome going on there, and I like it.
This one’s a jawdropper. Samantha Fish kills it on a 4-string cigar box guitar. From Wiki:
During the summer of 2013, Fish was called up on stage to play with a skeptical Buddy Guy who was so impressed with her playing on the guitar, he declared with a beaming smile to his audience, “When this kind of shit happens, I’ll play all night!”
Let’s wrap it up with some Satchmo. This 1933 version of “Dinah” was some great jump blues.
Have a great weekend and we’ll roll again tomorrow.

It amazes the hell out of us that this small blog can garner such global interest by merely posting stuff that keeps our attention for more than 5 seconds. Thanks for all the comments, “likes” and Re-Tweets, and we wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year.

*North Korea is a no-show on that list, but we’ve received surreptitious hits emanating directly from Pyongyang. That can only mean that Kim Jong Un Baboso himself reads here, and since that’s the case, we cordially invite him to golf himself.
