WACKY WEDNESDAY: Late, but Don't Judge Me!

This is the latest in the day that I've ever posted a Wacky Wednesday.

Besides battling some bug (I got eight hours of sleep last night!) I've also been commuting to Albuquerque to cover legal proceedings, so I just couldn't do it this morning.

I was going to try to post this from the courthouse during the lunch break today.

But the public wi-fi there does not allow users to access any fun sites like Youtube or Blogspot -- both of which I need to do this work.

But enough of my sniveling excuses. Here's a Wacky Wednesday musical tribute to the American legal system.

Starting with Pigmeat Markham, of course:






Here's Wynonie Harris



Here's a classic from Moby Grape. [Disclaimer: this song does not reflect my personal feelings toward any of the many wise and hard-working men and women I know who have served on the bench.]

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Dick Rosemont's Originals Project

Last Sunday night (actually early Monday morning) driving home after doing Terrell's Sound World at KSFR, I tuned into the show that comes on after mine, Oil of Dog with Gary Storm. On that show Gary had Dick Rosemont, who has a Santa Fe record shop called Guy in the Groove -- as well as a cool website called the Originals Project.

What he does there is simply track original versions of popular songs. Plus, without pretending to be a completest, Dick tries to list as many subsequent versions as possible.

Hey, I like doing stuff like that! I figured correctly that I'd like his website.

That night on Oil of Dog, Dick and Gary were playing various versions of "I Fought the Law," which was a hit for The Bobby Fuller Four in 1966.

I knew that Sonny Curtis, a Buddy Holly crony from Lubbock, had written it. But until that show I don't think I'd actually heard the original version by Sonny Curtis with the (post Buddy) Crickets.

Here that is:



Rosemont writes, "Be forewarned that not everything included here will be big news to music fans!" And that's true enough. But even for a jaded old rock 'n' roll freak like myself, I found plenty of surprises just puttering around The Originals Project.

For instance, I did not know that someone had recorded "Walkin' After Midnight' -- one of my favorite stalker songs -- before Patsy Cline. But actually a lady named Lynn Howard, with a  group called The Accents did in 1956 (The same year Patsy first recorded it.)



Likewise, I always just assumed that Big Bill Broonzy was the first to record "Key to The Highway" (which like everyone else my age, I first heard by Derek & The Dominoes in the '70s.) But actually it was recorded by a piano man named Charles Segar in 1940.



Now I knew that this '80s one-hit wonder called "Taco" wasn't the first to record called "Puttin' on the Ritz." (I still have a weird fondness from this video from the heyday of MTV.)


I knew it was written by Irving Berlin but I never knew who recorded it first. Rosemont's site informs us it was a guy named Leo Reisman, with Lew Conrad on vocals. And it's a Jazz Age delight.



Still, my favorite version is this one:

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Happy Birthday, Gilda!

Gilda as Candy Slice

Gilda Radner would have been 70 years old yesterday. Unfortunately, she died of ovarian cancer in 1989 before she turned 43.

An original member of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players in the early years of Saturday Night Live in the mid to early '70s, she was best known for her characters  Roseanne Roseannadana, Emily Litella and Baba Wawa.

But she also did some wonderful comical music. Here are three songs to remember her by.

Let's start with a sweet, childlike ditty from her 1979 one-woman show on Broadway, “Gilda Radner: Live from New York”


Here she is paying tribute to the girl-group era as Rhonda Weiss (with The Rhondettes)



And here she is as punk-rock queen Candy Slice
