FLATHEAD !!

 

Regulars to this site know...I do compilations mostly. That's how I like to listen to music....Blind Blake could be followed by The Germs who could be followed by The Chocolate Watchband.....etc. But every once in a while I crave a band/genre that must be listened to satisfy my ears.

For country twang that is somewhat current...this Arizona based band...never let's me down. Seen them several times...always a winner. 

Check out Greg's playing...right handed Tele --strung right handed---played left handed!

a sample of them live...

Exploring the Joe Bussard Collection Vol. 20

 

More from the shelves in Joe's basement. We just passed his birthday (July 11th)...he would have been 89 years young...

Songs We Taught The Cynics !!

 

Here's a project I've been wanting to do for several years now. I recently stumbled across The Arondies doing "69" and kicked the project into full gear. I was lucky enough to see The Cynics back in Ohio & PA in their early career...multiple times. This was the mid-80's so finding some of the originals they covered....wasn't that easy. Such a fan I was that when my new wife & I moved out west for work....I learned one night The Cynics would be playing a local bar. This of course was on the night of our new friends.....wedding! Of course we left the wedding early!! 

Viva The Cynics!!!

Seen them with Plan 9 @ the infamous Electric Banana in Pittsburgh:
