Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 30, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I saw James Brown at the National Guard Armory in Kansas City just before "Living in America" was a hit. He wore a red jumpsuit that was cut just below his nipples. On his stomach, brass studs spelled out "S-E-X." Between songs his band played the theme from "Entertainment Tonight" while he ran around shouting "Jam! Jam! Jam!"

Trombone Shorty's older trumpet playing brother, James Andrews before he crowned himself as "Satchmo of the Ghetto" was known as Little Twelve, his father, also James, was known as Twelve. I cannot remember how Twelve came to be known as Twelve. Memory failure on my part.

When the waiter would introduce himself as "I'm Bob, I'll be your waiter," I liked to stand up, shake his hand and say "I'm Zip, I'll be your customer." Their reactions were all over the place (though I don't think they ever put hair or worse in my order).

I'm liking these restaurant service intervention ideas.

Of a different order, I once went shopping for clothes, and I purchased two ties. I used to wear them fairly regularly, and I remain fond of my collection, even though I no longer wear them. Anyway, I had buyer's remorse. Spent way too much on pointless accessories. My wife and I went out to dinner that night. I wore one of the ties. The very first thing the server said as she approached the table: "That's a beautiful tie." Made my day.

around 20 years ago in a bar someone who i knew through other people wanted my t-shirt. she said 20 bucks? i told her it used to be my brother's who died fairly young.
i thought that would put an end to it but she said 40 bucks. then 100.
i just looked at her, trying to not look too disgusted.
then she "i'll give you $1000 for that shirt. i'm serious."
