"Man, 'Dat Bass Is Buddah!"

A sketch I did when we were both young!

It is so strange how things happen. There's this program on the local public radio station that talks about music and the behind the scenes stories that I occasionally listen to on my way home from the gym or running errands. I don't go out of my way to listen to it, but when I do, I always enjoy it.

When the global news at noon ended and this program called, "Music Inside Out With Gwen Thompkins", came on, I said to myself,"Ya know who they should interview especially all he has been through of late and a real behind the scenes guy? They should interview"... and then the moderator came on and introduced my old friend, Reggie Scanlan.

And a chill ran up and down all over my soul...

Give a listen... it's good stuff!  ( If nothing else, you'll love his accent, ha! )

"And We Won't Stop Tryin' Till We Create a Disturbance in Your Mind...

Just decided to use this sketch of a old friend and bassist for the Radiators, Reginald "Van" Scanlan, to announce my attending the Jazz Fest with another music lover and good friend here in New Orleans from Idaho. A friend I haven't seen in about ten years or so! This is supposed to be the last hurrah for the Rads, though even they have mixed feelings about giving up the show. We'll see about all of that later, but starting today, it's time to create a "disturbance" in my mind and just let the good times roll.

See ya there, Reg!
