For puns, all the groans are good, especially those that are NOT in a good way.

I like Dolly, for more than two reasons

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - Bob Dylan Lyric association: The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles

"Don't Go To Strangers/Don't Musunderstand" - Mark Murphy These were sung by many artists, I particularly like this version. It's tough to sing a song this slowly with minimal accompaniment and not end up boring listeners like me. The nuances in his vocal style pull it off.

"Long Distance Runaround" &" The Fish (Shindeleria Praematurus)" - Yes I haven't listened to this in years. It holds up well IMO.

That's how to get a car washed in the baboondocks.

If this gets nuked, I apologize in advance.

Dear Jill - Bloodwyn Pig

Well, thanks to COVID, we didn't play the nudist camp this year, and I think the woman who booked us either died or moved away, as her e-mail gets returned. Hopefully the new manager will give us a call.

Oh Happy Day - The Edwin Hawkins Singers I don't know how this made it to Top40 radio in the USA, but I'm glad it did.

Butthole Surfers The String Cheese Incident Dishwalla The Vibrators Aņåľ Cùʼnť

It IS what it's all about.

Immigrant Song - Zep

Naming a band goes through these phases: Everybody suggests their cleverest or most artistic name, but since everybody thinks their own name is the best, none of them get picked Everyone is hurt that their name didn't get picked, so to keep from getting hurt again, they submit a silly or stupid name, and it doesn't get picked, but since it wasn't soul revealing, it doesn't hurt Somebody suggests something completely non-committal that neither says anything in particular nor offends anybody in particular, so they settle on that. Nobody is really happy with the name, but they are getting a reputation so they can't change it

Just when you thought itwas save to come to the coffee shop - another music cartoon But too real not to pass up

From the obscure and probably should be forgotten archive: White Silver Sands - Bill Black's Combo

I’m working on a new typeface to be used for church bulletins... I call it "Baptismal Font"

Heart Full Of Soul - The Yardbirds

April, 15th - tax day in the USA. The only two things certain are... Sending a big smile up there to you, Bill.

A Real Mother For Ya - Johnny "Guitar" Watson If you look up 'funk guitar' in the dictionary, you might see his picture
