FYI, my jazz guitarist friend The Guv was kicked off of CoSo.
His crude humor is an acquired taste.

Yet I live? Amazing. 🤣 What did he say/do?
@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
He likes telling people to take a champagne enema. He is strange, like most big Tom Waits fans.

He’s an acquired taste, fer shur.
The Guv, too. 😏

The Guv said that watching this show on PBS made him want to be a musician.
Note, he was Mose Allison's road manager, at one time.

The Beatles — and George Benson! — made me wanna play guitar. 😝
Let’s spoof the lyrics to a certain Zappa tune as tribute to tha Guv…
Something like this —
The Traverse City Champagne Enema Bandit
I heard he’s on the loose
I heard he’s on the loose…
Ooh! The pitiful screams
Of all those MI public radio listeners…
They just be listenin’
Don’t they wanna turn it off?
Etc. 🤓

Yup The Beatles made me want to play bass. First time I heard 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' I had to play one of those "humming guitars" 🤣

Remember this one?
Al Anderson of NRBQ's first charting band-
The Wildweeds- No Good To Cry-1967
EXCELLENT tune, was big in MA, maybe because they were from CT? I have a WRKO (AM radio, Boston) double LP with this song on it, was a welcome memory when I first played it again after all these years.

I ran the student-run entertainment council at UCD many moons ago, and I had these guys in the coffee house. What a fun show! Had CAE in there too.
@phac3ti0us @InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
They sounded like a good band, were they live? Who were CAE? I know I should know them but I'm bad with abbreviations.
@Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
NRBQ was great.
CAE = Chicago Art Ensemble.
@phac3ti0us @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
You mean Lester Bowie, Cecil Taylor, et al? Cool.
@InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
And some things that were definitely not intended to be instruments. 😂
@InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
It was wild. They played every kind of instrument you could imagine.
