Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 9, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I know from experience. I was struck on 5 in Southern California by a truck/trailer that drifted into my lane. My car spun perpendicular to the flow of traffic, conveniently settling directly in front of the truck as it slowed to a stop. I looked out my driver's side window. I could read MACK.

Ken is great! Someone once gave me his number and suggested I call him but I was too chicken! He's in his 90s now, slowed down considerably but I guess still active.

Weird, I assumed this was a recent recording because of the way it sounded.

Remember "English Bob," the character played by Richard Harris in Eastwood's "Unforgiven"? Baldry looked kinda like that.

Hmm. Well, I remember seeing Unforgiven and thinking "Is that Long John Baldry?" Maybe it was just coz Baldry had a very similar black suit when I saw him ca. '72.

I'm just saying Baldry is really, really tall.

All right already, I'll vote for him.

Roberto:

OK turns out he's not on the ballot this cycle, and is unlikely to be at any future date seeing as he died 10 years ago.

Saw Eddie Harris with Scofield in the 90s. It was so amazing. Apparently he did comedy for a while, but I've never heard any recordings.
