B-52s – Rock Lobster live

by on 23. Mar, 2013 in live, music

As one does, I came across this fantastic clip later last night. Paul Desmond had been on the mind, as in, “I’ve only ever heard him play. Why, I could watch him! We have the technology.” Something like that. There’s a patience to Paul’s playing that sounds essential. Brubeck once said complimenting, “Paul’s big contribution [...]

Fernwood 2Night

by on 01. Nov, 2012 in comedy

Hat tip to Duncan here… W.D. ‘Bud’ Prize and Sylvia Miller debate her “encounter” with aliens. Barth Gimble and Jerry Hubbard moderate. There’s a lot of Fernwood 2Night on youtube, and a lot is worth watching.
