Super Fat Tuesday Mix


















Well Folks, today is Fat Tuesday. So naturally we'll listen to some scratchy old records from the Crescent City. All I can say is it's a good thing they exported these things, because I'd be willing to bet that there's a whole lot of these artifacts underwater, or stuck together with mold growing on them.

That's right, things are bad in Fluville. Remember the presidential flyover? I urge each and every one of you to get out there and VOTE today. I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for because it's a free country (ha ha ha ha) and I'm not sure who I'm gonna vote for yet either, but I'll tell you, the way it's looking, it's not going to be a white man, and that's alright.

So get out there and VOTE, let the good times roll, and then...

DO A BOOGIE WOOGIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET!

Let Us Now Praise James Burton Pt. 1


In case you haven't noticed, guitar players have a special place here in Fluvile. James Burton holds an esteemed distinction among guitarists. Not only is he the quintessential sideman, but he has played with both Elvis'.

Hum Susie-Q for a bit.

It's the riff you're humming, right? James Burton wrote that. He was already a veteran of the Louisiana Hayride when he recorded it with Dale Hawkins at the ripe age of 15, before migrating to Bob Luman's band and then being snatched up by Ricky Nelson who was recording next door. Burton then went on to play on hundreds of records, mostly uncredited. We'll get to those in another post.

In the meantime, dig this...
