The Wheezer self-indulgence thread

Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called a Red. With Chinese subtitles. Beats me, but, hey, Faith Petric. This is the version from Rebel Voices, which is uneven but wraps with a terrific Power in the Union (not the Bragg shit).

I had that compilation. My introduction to the song.

Yah, it also hipped me to Utah Phillips: Pie in the Sky.

Same here.

I still enjoy hearing that at the start of Bulls games.

That should have been "The Preacher and the Slave," of course.

I feel like a chump that I didn't even notice the error.

There appears to be a remarkable shortage of Tongan string band music floating around freely. I'll start here: Kalapu Afo e Teau, as they say.

Imagine that.

Jesus, The Conet Project has been free for years (there's a longer story here); there's more Tongan brass than string band, which is a shame. Strings of Love is fantastic.

Paging Gil.

[Edit.—Silly me, I forgot to include some audio.]

This just made my entire morning.

I'm at risk of being trite here, but so it goes. (BTW, a  local barbershop  has a 1946 Rockola for sale, if anyone needs a juke box.) De La Soul, The Magic Number.

I asked for 3FHAR for Christmas '89 and Mum and Dad bought it on vinyl for me.  It quite simply changed my World.

More Loudon: Kings and Queens, but not the version from A Live One, which I recommend in its totality.

Bernstein Plays Brubeck Plays Bernstein.

[Edit.—Having invoked Brubump (see Been Down So Long), I guess Mose Allison comes next: Back Country Suite, full album.]

I am weary enough tonight to resuscitate Shambala. Sue me.

[Edit.—Oh. My. G-d. A bare-chested lip-sync of Black and White. This makes Play That Funky Music look like high art, although it does remind me that some Laura Nyro could be appropriate.]

OK, so back when I was in high school, there was an episode of The Tonight Show featuring Pete Fountain that was allowed to run over time thanks to audience demand. I may have found it, but I'm not certain. This will have to serve instead for the time being. Carson on one of a bunch of drums.
