Saturday Matinee – Kill a ‘Dilla, Comma Song, Follow the Sun, Waiting on a Friend, Happy Boy

KillaDilla.

Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man” cracked me up when I was a tad. I remember it as the “Comma Song.”

Del Shannon came a long way from 1961’s “Hats Off To Larry.” This song made it to Number 9 in November 1964.

This is one of the prettiest songs the Stones ever did, not that they were ever known for pretty.

And because my computer has been reborn and hasn’t thrown up in over 24 hours, here’s a repost of the late great Country Dick Montana & the Beat Farmers to sum up my current mental outlook.

Saturday Matinee – Harp Guitar, Graffiti Removal, Paint it Black, Black Betty

That’s a harp guitar, folks, being played by Andy McKee. This is the same Larson-Dyer version that I learned on; it was my great grandfather’s, and I still have it. It’s got a wide fretboard with 6 strings and 6 free bass strings above (hence the “harp” moniker). I’d never heard one played properly until I saw this video.
