Lachlan Patterson with a humorous set on what the next generation will bring to the table. And when. Selfies, yoga pants for all the wrong reasons, and Tweeting are making us soft. Lachlan’s a great stand-up comedian, when he’s hitting on all eight cylinders. I state it that way because I’ve seen him do a flat show and it wasn’t too much fun. But when he’s on it’s pretty cutting edge, timing is everything in this field. This is a funny bit, he could be right…
I took a cue from Ken Burns and went with a country/hillbilly/redneck motif this week. Strangely enough it really works. A lot of the greats of C&W are here. Certified guitar picker, Man in Black, a true renaissance man, a very funny lady, some Old Dogs, Antsy, and Cledus. Do NOT mess with Mrs. Fort! Happy Hillbilly Week!

A Classic by Little Jimmy Dickens. This version is from 1965, he was in full stride here. Primarily a C&W performer he was known to have a sense of humor and a large guitar. I poke fun, he was only 4′ 11″ tall and every guitar looked really big when he was strumming it. I play this on the show from time to time…
Ze Frank with a tale of a visually disadvantaged arachnid with a lust for power. This is the stuff of nightmares ladies and gentlemen! Nah, just kidding, it’s mundane as hell. It’s entertaining but far from compelling. It’s Ze Frank though, give it a chance…
Juston McKinney with a really funny set on fatherhood. He’s a New Hampshire native with a head full of snark and some killer material. I’ve seen him live and came away quite pleased. I highly recommend him, I play him on the show and he’s a gerat addition to the lunacy. Some very funny lines here…
