I Know an Old Lady

(Who swallowed a Fly)
The late, great Pete Seeger was a heck of a guy.
A true American in every way, he spent most
of his adult life doing the right things, for all
the right reasons.
A folk singer by trade, his tunes were aimed at
the average American blue collar worker.
Spotlighting the parts of life that were unfair
and unequal he sung with sincerity.
Him and his banjo, what a pair…


Mating Dance of the Peacock Spider

True Facts and Ze Frank with a colorful look at arachnids.
Or maybe Ze Frank and True Facts with a look at colorful
arachnids, depends on your perspective I guess.
I have concluded that courtship in the animal kingdom is
not that much different than dating among humans.
Way too much uncertainty…


My Wife is Too Intense

Pete Correale is in a bind, his wife’s a whip cracker.
Oh, there’s a rarity.
I was snarky there for a moment, won’t happen again.
Pete’s a good stand-up comedian, he’s confident but
not overly so, his observational skills are spot on
and really add to the humor.
I just started playing him on the show and I’m already
looking for new material that I can showcase.
He’s not an elevator type of guy…


I Love Summer

A wicked funny tune by Heywood Banks.
Snarky times ten, a tongue in cheek diatribe
concerning his appreciation of Summer.
Or lack thereof.
Some superb lines here, I laughed out loud
on more than one occasion…


Betsy Ross and the Flag

I couldn’t let the 4th of July weekend go by without
playing yet another classic by Stan Freberg.
This one stars Helen Kleeb as Betsy, and Stan
himself plays the part of George Washington.
She really puts some emotion into the role, with
superb comedic effect I might add.
He wanted polka dots, she knew better…
