(not really Fatty, just a fatsimile) Our cat Fat Head has a new theme song. It's easy to learn. Listen to this old hit by Jean Knight and just substitute the word "Fat" every time she sings "Big" and "Head" every time she sings "Stuff." Feel free to sing along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWV9w3hgx9s
The Ponderosa Stomp is an oldies marathon as dreamed up by record collectors: the kind of music fans who prize soul veterans’ rare B-sides and limited-edition garage-rock singles, the wilder the better.
The Ponderosa Stomp just gets better and better. This year's seventh celebration of rock and roll, soul and New Orleans R & B at the House of Blues more than lived up to the excellent standard of stomps of past years. The highlight was, of all people, Dr John, appearing as Mac Rebennack and running through a great R and B set, including Storm Warning (playing guitar, rather hidden behind the piano)...
Members of the Colquitt Regional Medical Center Volunteer Auxiliary will be honored at their annual banquet Tuesday for contributing nearly 16,000 hours to the hospital during the past year.
This week I'm back with more sessions from Malaco Studios in Jackson, MS, where, during the early 1970s, Wardell Quezergue produced/arranged many records for hand-picked New Orleans vocal talent such as King Floyd, Jean Knight, the Barons Ltd, and the artists featured today. The more I explore the music from that period and place, especially the earlier sides, the more I get a sense of the soulful,...
April 29th and 30th, at New Orleans' House Of Blues, the Ponderosa Stomp will give you the opportunity to see such killer acts as William Bell , ? and The Mysterians , Roky Erickson , Sonny Burgess , Bobby Parker , Syl Johnson , The Hi Rhythm Section , Barbara Lynn , Jean Knight , and two girl group legends Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes and Mary Weiss of The Shangri-Las . Those artists alone make...
It started out as a wedding reception. Ira Padnos, a New Orleans anesthesiologist, didn't want your typical wedding band playing bad Top 40 and "Daddy's Little Girl" on his and his wife's special day. He wanted the kickass rock 'n' roll and rhythm 'n' blues that he had been listening to his whole life. So he tracked down and hired some of his long lost favorite musicians, most not currently working,...
This is a follow-up to a post I did last October on Denise Keeble's Pelican single "Chain On My Thing" b/w "Before It Falls Apart" . Right around the time I featured those sides, I found a nice copy of her only other known single and am finally getting around to featuring it. Please refer to that earlier post for what little background I have on Ms Keeble and those songs. "Love School" (E. Small -M....
Sadie Hawkins Day is in November . Somehow, the 20th century Dogpatch invention of Al Capp's Li'l Abner has gotten blended with a much earlier tradition . It is, however, Superman's birthday . (Which begs the question, "What do you get for someone who can change the course of mighty rivers?" *** From Len Wein's blog : George Lucas in Love *** My favorite Amazon pitch of late: Dear Amazon.com Customer,...
Dr. John and Jean Knight have been added to the bill of this year's seventh annual Ponderosa Stomp Music Conference, set for April 29-30 at the House of Blues and the Parish in New Orleans.

Something lay dead up ahead. The seventh-graders from Rushe Middle School craned their necks, trying to guess which of the many creatures that call Cross Bar Ranch home had met its demise near the unpaved road that winds through the 12,000-acre preserve.
No tune is too big and no tune is too small, for the Diddy Wahcast. There are some real heavy weights featured this episode, it's hard to believe it clocks in under 40 minutes. A more appropriate length of time to fit in all these massive records would be 15 weeks but even Steve Jobs' iPod wouldn't hold that. Perhaps it has something to do with the way the files are compressed that I managed to squeeze...
