"What's the Matter"

R. Crumb cover - Memphis Jug Band Album (Yazoo)

Okay, I uploaded a new song to my website music player. This Hokum Scorchers' song is a version of "What's the Matter"originally done by the Memphis Jug Band in 1929. Lou Reimuller is playing the National guitar, kazoo and vocals and I am on the washboard, kazoo and vocals. We recorded this in 1990 for our first Hokum Scorcher's album.

Happy Birthday Balthus

Nude with a Cat 1949 by Balthus


Balthus was actually born on a leap year which doesn't surprise me as he was a very unusual man who remained young-at-heart his entire life. Born February 29, 1908, in Paris, France, he's one of my favorite artists. He died in 2001 on Feb 19 at age 92. Here's the NYTimes Obit story . Happy Birthday Balthus.
