Saturday Matinee – Igor Prado Band, Davey Knowles and Gerry Joe Weise

Igor Prado Band‘s cover of  Camille Bob’s 1965 hit. These boys from Brazil play blues, R&B and west coast swing/jump, and funk. Lefthander Igor Prado leads on guitar with brother Yuri Prado on drums, Rodrigo Mantovani on acoustic bass and Denilson Martins on baritone sax. Their website igorpradoband.com was AWOL at the time of this posting.

Playing solo or with his band Back Door Slam, award-winning songwriter and guitarist Davy Knowles plays Telecaster, American Steel and mandolin to cover various genres including classic rock, blues, and folk.

Singer, songwriter, composer, pianist and guitarist Gerry Joe Weise‘ repertoire includes classical, jazz fusion and blues. He was recently named 5th best jazz guitarist in Australia, and creates land art installations as well.

Amazing. This week we saw people protesting in support of criminals, people protesting a peace summit, and people complaining about improvements in the economy, all while Governor Pantload gripes about everyone else in order to distract from his own incompetence. Pheew.

I dunno, Babs, but I do know this. I had an appointment with my onkydoc this week, and I’ve got nothing to complain about. I’ll be on the porch tomorrow taking suggestions and requests. See you there.

Saturday Matinee Halloween Edition – Gawper, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Tom Waits, Rodrigo Blaas, Davy Knowles & Co.

The Gawper [via Miss Cellanea]

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins “I Hear Voices.”

Tom Waits’ “What’s He Building?” is a creepy classic.

Pixar’s Rodrigo Blass: “Alma.” (Caution: this is NOT for little kids.)

Nice jam. Albert Collins’ King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign,” cranked out by Davy Knowles, Christine Collister, Bonnie Hayes, and members of the Robert Cray Band.

Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more oddities.
