cgiles Senior Member Registered: 09/29/05 Posts: 6703 Loc: Roswell,GA/USA	With so much doom, gloom, and bad news lately (both in the world and on the forum), I thought it might be a good time to bring a little levity to the situation. As far as I know, Capt. Russ is probably the only one here who is a fan of this artist (or even knows who he is), but he's always been a favorite jazz singer/songwriter of mine. Very underrated IMO, given his body of work. While looking for something else on YT, I ran across this old favorite of mine; makes me laugh every time I hear it. Also, if you're a parent, listen to HIS version of Dat dere, the Bobby Timmons tune that he put lyrics to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dheVr7Wdrro chas Link to 'Dat Dere' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTsU_xoNyMY Edited by cgiles (03/03/18 03:25 PM) _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true."

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2450 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Great singer and memorable tunes. Also a WBGO fan back in NJ. They used to do free lunchtine shows in the garden of the Newark Museam. Got to see Dr. Lonnie Smith doing his B3 magic there. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

OldNewb Member Registered: 01/19/04 Posts: 638 Loc: Shorewood Wi. USA	Good stuff for sure. For me, I was more familiar with that particular song by Albert Collins. I saw Albert just a few months before he passed in ‘92. My nephews and Bro-in-law Opened for him at Milwaukee’s Summerfest that year. Nephew Eric was fortunate to have Albert autograph his Strat for him. https://youtu.be/a92LKesAPAo Edited by OldNewb (03/04/18 11:40 AM) _________________________ Thank You The old Newb
