Who’s Been Talking, Howlin’ Wolf (1970) Sometimes mistitled Cause Of It All, Chester Burnett’s recording from the The London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions (Chess 1971) is a classic. Backing musicians for this track included   Eric Clapton, Lafayette Leake, Hubert Sumlin, Steve Winwood, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman.

If true, this is disturbing news.

Hoogerbrugge’s Hotel was awesome.

What an honor! Thanks Mme. Jujujive!

Saturday Matinee – The Funk Brothers, Procul Harum & Robin Trower

The Funk Brothers were/are a rotating group of session musicians who performed on many Motown classics, including The Contours‘ 1962 hit “Do You Love Me.” This 2002 line up backed Bootsy.

I always liked that song even though nobody knows exactly what Procul Harum was singing about in 1967.

Robin Trower continued his career after leaving Procul Harum, had a nice solo run, and is still performing at 75. Jimmy Dewar‘s vocals always fit.

Have a great weekend, folks, don’t burn down or loot anything, turn in those who do, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for something or other.

Saturday Matinee – The Tick, Phi, Ken Nordine, Bootsy & The Zappas

The Tick came and went, but lives on the Utoobage. Here’s Part 1 of my favorite 1/2 hour episode: “The Funeral.”  The next two parts are here and here.

Speaking of nature and mathema-Ticks:

The concept of Phi, graphically illustrated. [Found here.] Ken Nordine had a great take on the Fibonacci Sequence as well:

Bootsy’s New Rubber Band’s got a nice groovejam going with a left handed shredder.

Here’s a fun compilation, “Peavey Nation,” by the Sons of Zappa, featuring a cameo by Dick Clark.

Have a great Easter weekend, folks.

Great Christmas Vinyl

Have a Cartoon Lee Majors Christmas… oop, no, wait:

Have a Tiny Tim Christmas, or not.  But hey! Lookee here:

We wish you all a Bootsy Christmas! And may Santa bring you all the funk you deserve.
