Asylum Street Spankers (Christina Mars) - Shave 'Em Dry
(The dirtiest song from the early-1900s - I love it!)
@JonathanF Wow! I rarely meet people who know the Spankers! I hung out with them for a hot minute (dated(ish) one of 'em). Great musicians, helluva sense of humour, most of them.
@JonathanF Yellow ribbon is another fanfuckingtastic one.
I sang with one of them at the Utah here in San Francisco for one of the open mic nights.
@jenneviere No way!
(My wife also knew Dr. Sick back when he was gutterpunk in New Orleans.)
Hell, when we finally get settled, you are definitely invited to our parties! I'm sure we'll all have a LOT to talk about!
@JonathanF I have some stories, that's for sure!
(please remember it was over a decade ago and judge me gently 😂 )
@jenneviere Same for us! So we can have some drinks, enjoy the live music (we always have artists play our parties - Beth Patterson, Debbie Davis, Josh Paxton, etc.), and reminisce about things that may or may not have happened, replete with imbelishments.
@jenneviere If it's any incentive, my wife makes alcoholic milkshakes that are absolutely tasty and harmless (until you try to stand up), and I always make something like homemade soft pretzels, Irish tiramisu (that will get you buzzed), and other treats.
@JonathanF I have no idea where you're from, but y'all sound an absolute treat!
@jenneviere New Orleans, now in Georgia.
@JonathanF We'll have to work hard at those bi-coastal cocktails then, I'm in San Francisco.
@jenneviere That's near where my wife grew up!
We'll have to figure something out.
@jenneviere My wife knows a few of them (shot lyrics back and forth with Wammo that became later songs - Yellow Ribbon being one of them - which I should also post, now that I think about it). They helped raise money for her after Katrina. Such amazingly talented musicians.
