We went to see the very popular upcoming adolescent girl Emi Sunshine perform at Eddie's Attic in Decatur. She was a good entertainer. Off stage she was a little girl.
My buddy Joe Stewart posted on his blog Tally Ho! the New Oreleans Band the thing they did for HBO'S TREME last Sunday that I mentioned a couple posts ago. It made it to You-tube. Here is the link to that scene with Tuba Skinny:
Last night I was watching the latest episode of Treme', which is a ficitonal story of the New Orleans people getting over Katrina on HBO when I saw my favorite New Orleans band Tuba Skinny. I first recognized the washboard player, then the singer (Rebeka?) then others. They were performilng and were actually part of the story. A character of the story was a Tuba Skinny band member. I was thrilled they are getting national attention.
So, in case you don't know of Tuba Skinny, here is a sample I lifted off Youtube:
Sunday the 30th downtown Marietta had the WHOLE HOG & MUSIC FEST.
We went and listened to music and ate bbq. We even bought more bbq and carried it home for dinner.
The next morning (Monday) I had to have blood work done for an upcoming doctor's appointment. If it is true you are what you eat I'm sure the doctor will get a breakdown from the lab technician that I am 90% whole hog and 10% barbecue sauce.
About the below video. As I was videoing the band playing blues up danced a man in a suit and a mask. I couldn't resist videoing him too - he put on a good show. I think he was promoting an upcoming show at The Strand.
Also, the end of the video is Sam Huff giving barbecuing tips. Sam Huff own's Barbecue #1 and is a well known lawyer, and I think a judge too.
