Any cool people better leave the building.....all you scallywags can stay though

Like many of you here I am a big fan of songs about women called Myrtle

First time I ever heard of Spike Jones was on The Bands song Cripple Creek....

 

[Captain Moondog]

And here's the song in question

 

[Captain Moondog]

The Band played at Watkins Glen in a rock concert with The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead in 1973.The concert was said to be the biggest gathering of people for an event in the history of the U.S.
Here's The Allman Brothers from 1970

I wonder where Queen got Another One Bites The Dust from?

HA! And the rotten mongrels had the hide to put poor old Vanilla Ice "Under pressure" for his song, Ice Ice Baby. The nerve of the bastards.....

I was down at Emu Park today and saw this poster on a wall alongside one promoting The Radiators gig...

A little further investigation and I came across this....How much are they paying you @Moondog 😉 They might be worth a look actually! Sorry for audio quality. I'm sure they'd sound great live.

The Steeldrivers are a bluegrass band from Tennessee. Great band!

My roots are deeper than the bones of the others
My colors that change with the sun
My branches were higher than anything on the hillside
On the day that I watched them all come

Ha, and I thought I was his only fan. A lot of people found him a bit weird apparently....

 

[Captain Moondog]

He was blind from an early age which may explain his choice of attire. Perhaps he thought he was just blending in..

AND there's a Moondog movie being released this year....

Not to be confused with Joseph Bolitho Johns, a bushranger from Western Australia. (Joey Johns, lol)

He went by the name of Moondyne Joe. Here he is wearing a kangaroo skin cape and carrying a tomahawk, which was the height of stylish taste at the time.....but only to him. LOL!

Here's an excerpt from Machine Gun from Band of Gypsys....

 

[Captain Moondog]

Think I'll play a few more guitar twangers. Roy Buchanan did a great version of Hey Joe, dead now same as Jimi.

 

[Captain Moondog]

That was recorded in Austin, Texas, where this guy came from, dead too. Guitars should have a health warning....

 

[Captain Moondog]

Yep, dead...

 

[Captain Moondog]

I hear he's feeling crook.....

The best? Oh yes!
