 Flickennabokk is playing silly buggers in its algorithms and what it is allowing me to see and what suggestions it might throw . . .so I checked in with the simply wonderful guitarist, Gary Lucas, as we always seem to share such similar tastes in music and it seems he posted this t’other day!

SUSANNA HOFFS : Different Drum with Matthew Sweet. Written by Michael Nesmith

Susanna Hoffs

says: 

"Different Drum. Written by the great Michael Nesmith. I've always loved singing Different Drum with Matthew Sweet.”

Yup the ‘Monkee’  Mike Nesmith was a songwriter of a different cloth to the rest of the band and has been labelled something of a stoner (weren’t they all? ED - well no, the others may have been but Mickey was known to be more of a ‘juicer’ as he hung around with Ringo, Alice Cooper, Hsarry Nilsson and that crew of drinkers and may have even been a peripheral figure on Lenon’s so called lost weekend (some eighteen months of heavy drinking and a burgeoning affair with May Pang) Mike perahaps the only one with a lively album career post Monkees . Ronstadt covered this and other songs by him. 

Buster B Jones* “ Funky Fingers”

Speaking of Guitar players (we were we were I swear) how about this from Mr Buster B Jones 

Buster B. Jones

whoever runs his facebook page says: 

"Buster was fearless in his playing!  While a handful of people can attempt a Buster song, it’s a mighty task!  

Here’s Buster unleashing “Funky Fingers” he came close to getting airborne!”

I assume he is warming up here in what looks like a back stage dressing room sitch or else why would some nurk walk across in from of Buster while he was playing / rehearsing? It would have stopped me DEAD in my tracks!

*Buster B. Jones was a contemporary of such Nashville greats as Jerry Reed & Thom Bresh

He died in 2009 aged 49 from liver disease
