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.

Good one Chas, “Dat Dere” is a great tune, always liked it but forgot all about it.

Tony, WBGO? I on occasion still stream it on my phone, love that station.

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.

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.
