10-minute doc about Les Paul, a walking definition of cool. Obit here. Just playing in this one, Les starts Birth of the Blues and Chet Atkins joins him. -
Hard Headed Woman
Okay, okay, cousin needs the antidote to Johnny Mathis. The roots of rock, the manic songs made from after WWII to Elvis, hit the note for me. I love this stuff. This clip is of Wanda Jackson on Jubilee USA (originally,… -
Part IV of The Horror of Middle Age
Feeling down, cousin, with the onset of middle age? That music you couldn't tolerate when you were young and immature gradually becomes tolerable . . . and even nice? Be honest, cousin. Got that bittersweet feeling that… -
