A sample of some obscure - and maybe not obscure - tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today's selection: Snake Oil Willie Band - "I Don't Look Good Naked Anymore" 2014

A New Jersey band. "We are seasoned, professional musicians with many years of dedication to our craft. We do our utmost to provide our audience with an enjoyable evening of recognizable music, well played, that is easy to dance to."

The band has been around since 1995 but this was their first recording. They're still active ... this being Sept 8, they last played at Kymer's Campground in Branchville, NJ last Saturday and play at the High Point Country Club on the 26th.

Betcha this song is their closing tune.

But, but, but ... there must be deep meaning here.

"I Don't Look Good Naked Anymore confronts the uncomfortable reality of physical decline and its impact on self-worth and intimate relationships. The narrator has let his body deteriorate through poor lifestyle choices, transforming from a capable, confident man into someone who hides from his own reflection."

Whoo-ee!

Today's selection: Norman Greenbaum - "Back Home Again" 1970

Yes I am ...

Norman Greenbaum is most known for "Spirit In The Sky". The album this cut was taken from has been described as "Something pleasant and homey about this album, like a needlepoint sampler."

Today's medley selection: Bobby Bare (1963) & Tom Jones (1967) - "Detroit City"

What if home is Detroit City?
What if I'm actually in Detroit City as you listen to this?

Back home by next week - God willin' and the crik don't rise ...

Today's selection: Dan Sultan "Kingdom" 2017

Dan Sultan is an Australian musician of aboriginal descent and sometime author of children's books. This cut comes from his fourth album, "Killer".

I forget when and where I obtained this cut; it was released as a digital download so I suspect I got it from Youtube ... but that doesn't explain where I first heard it.

'cause it feels like that kind of day ...
