Speedy Says: Hiatt 1990 - Back To Back - #1:As mentioned in other posts on this blog, I think John Hiatt is one of rock’s most under rated and overlooked talents. His run of albums between 1987 and 1995 - Bring The Family, Slow Turning, Stolen Moments, Perfectly Good Guitar and Walk On - are filled with exceptional tunes. Many of those songs have been covered by artists such as Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffet and Joe Cocker. Unfortunately, Hiatt never achieved the commercial success he deserved.  This sounsboard recording captures him on tour in support of Stolent Moments, during the late show at the Bottom Line on July 26, 1990, 3 dozen years ago today.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow for part 2 of this Back To Back set.

There’s some Uppity Blues Women over at the URBANASPIRINES!

  . . . no I know me neither but what Kostas doesn’t know about obscure music geniuses (genii?) can’t be written on the back of my hand . . . what I don’t know is like the inside of Trump's brain ie howling winds of vast landscapes of nothingness!

Grandmas Gone WILD! SLIM & SLAM: Flat Foot Floogie! [that’s Slim Gaillard to YOU!]



Grandmagonewild  [GRANDAD TOO!

These two photos appear to have been taken during the same outing in the 1930s. The clothes, the rocks, and several familiar faces all match. Mama, my grandfather, and Uncle Johnnie are among the group.
They clearly understood the assignment. In one photo, everyone is arranged across the rocks in a dramatic pose. In the other, they are crowded together, smiling, laughing, and enjoying themselves. They made the rocks their stage and gave the camera two completely different scenes.
I love seeing my family this way.
🎵 Music Note: Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart were the jazz duo known as Slim & Slam, celebrated for their humor, rhythm, and playful performances. They recorded “Flat Foot Floogie” in 1938, and its lively energy fits this family outing perfectly.
For those who left comments on a FLICKERBOKK page to say its NOT Slim Gaillard and His Orchestra but novelty act Slim and Slam, do pay attention at the back!

Steven Wright surprised by Sunny And The Black Pack covering his song ‘Maybe Why'

 Speaking of a message on a Sunday! 



Sunny And The Black Pack
who say: 
"Steven Wright was completely surprised when we performed his own song for him, live! Steven wrote the song “Maybe Why” and when we first heard it, we all fell in love with it right away. It truly has touched our souls and will be a part of us forever.
Thank you Steven for not only sharing your comedy, but your music with the world!
Our version of “Maybe Why” is available NOW on Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and more!”

Now I had known Steven Wright and his lugubrious straight-faced word play comedic genius but did we all know he wrote songs too? Not me!
This is truly wonderful
