Busking in Pasadena at the Cootenanny Company, another field blues recording for Old White Coot. "I was readin' Atlas Shrugged..." True story, the book found in a dead man's apartment. 

Old White Coot

Rich Man's Burden

Field folk boogie to the dollar store, a daily ritual. "No More Zumba," a sign on the way. From the LP "Old White Coot." Harp:  the inimitable Blind Poison Castorseed.

Dollar Store Boogie Shuffle

Little ol' lady living in a home; made entirely outta styrofoam. Rockaboogie from the Old White Coot LP. Collect them all.

Styrofoam

Another slice of American applie pie folk, a field recording from "Old White Coot." An old standard on lickspittles by the dead folk poet, Kevin Coyne.

Good Boy/The Guitar Wants to Kill You

Colloquial heevahava rock from the Old White Coot LP. Pennsy Dutch spoken widely! A senseless tale of funny-sounding talk, electric noise, wah and whirring.

Hey Craig Man! (Funk Machine)

Field recording of the Link Wray classic in Pasadena, for the LP Old White Coot.  Listen for the cries of pain and smashing trash cans.

Rumble

From 1987, Allentown/Bethlehem and the collapse of "the steel." industry. The guitar solo composed as an extended scream.  From the album "Brutality," when I'd given up on science. I couldn't do 12 years of postdoc for nothing. "So sing happy songs on the radio and watch as the world crumbles down..." And now the whirlwind of revenge has finally come to town.

Brutality

Ironwork Blues

Take a commercial that needed the death penalty and a story from the war on terror. Inspired by Tom Lehrer, who knew satire.  Old now, for Old White Coot, naturally. Death to corporate America, etc.

That's Logistics

Time waits for no one, least of all, the glands. Embrace infirmity. Erectile dysfunction blues made popular by a tv commercial for rxpensive pills. From the soundtrack, Old White Coot. Harp: The inimitable Blind Poison Castorseed.

Can't Get My Pipe (In the Hole)

You fought the bank and the bank won. Archivist blues performance at Cootenanny Corners for the soundtrack to "Old White Coot." Harp: The inimical Blind Poison Castorseed.

Usury Blues

Eccentric American Dick Destiny lives in dusty hot Pasadena, California, where he is putting the finishing touches on an album of colloquial electric folk rock and field blues, Old White Coot. Old White Coot is semi-autobiographical of his life's travels, from the middle class to poverty, then to redemption, inner peace and poverty once again over the last 20 years.

And in case you were wondering, I won't jump through some silly hoop of online backscratching to get a like out of you. Either I'm up your alley or not.
