Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 21, 2019 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I'm sure Ian Anderson did use Kirk as an inspiration. Just 1 little sliver of Kirk's tool kit launched a while career.

Big Joe Turner did record Blues in the Night in 1942, but that versiob was with Freddie Slack. The 1958 date with Howard Biggs is accurate.
