WACKY WEDNESDAY: Have a Nutty New Year!

The first day of The Roaring 20s is a Wacky Wednesday!

Happy New Year, youb nuts!

Here's a bunch of nutty numbers to keep the New Year wacky.

Let's start off with Johnny Cash, who assured impressionable listeners that "everybody loves a nut, the whole world loves a weirdo."



OK, so Leroy Pullins' big hit was an obvious Roger Miller rip-off (and on YouTube today, you can still find this very song incorrectly credited to Roger.) But this tune was good enough for John Waters (who used it in his 1998 film Pecker), it's good enough for me.



You know that Napoleon XIV, creator of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha", would have other songs about nuts.



(For more songs by Napoleon XIV, go HERE)

If Alvin & The Chipmunks were The Beatles, The Nutty Squirrels were their Dave Clark 5. However, Alvin and his rodent brothers, even in their prime, weren't cool enough to cover Dizzy Gillespie.



All the above songs were made between the late '50s and mid '60s. However The Cats & The Fiddle were going nuts back in the late '30s!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: These Are People Who Died 2019

UPDATED (sadly) 10:50 am  with Sleepy LaBeef

This is just a little tribute to some of my musical heroes who died this year.

As cheesy as it sounds, if you love their music you can keep them alive in your heart.

Bluegrass great Mac Wiseman left us in February:



March took the sultan of the surf guitar, Dick Dale:



Roky Erikson died in May



Dr. John died in June



In July, Jerry Lawson of The Persuasions, the greatest a capella group in rock 'n' roll history, passed.



Art Neville of The Neville Brothers and The Meters died in July. Here's an early solo record Art cut before those groups:



"Outsider" musician Daniel Johnston died in September:



Later in September, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter died. This song is from one of his solo records in the '70s.



And early this month, original Flamin' Groovie Roy Loney died. This is a clip with a later Loney band, The Phantom Movers. (And for a whole Loney tribute, check out my latest Big Enchilada podcast.)



UPDATE: Just minutes after posting this, I learned of the death of rockabilly giant Sleepy LaBeef.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: An Outsider Music Xmas

It's the Wacky Wednesday before Christmas!

Let's celebrate with a bunch of tunes from some of my favorite "outsider" musicians. (And if you baren't hip to "outsider music," educate yourself HERE and check out this previous Wacky Wednesday HERE.)

Let's start with some holiday cheer from Wesley Willis



Beneath the wacky exterior, this Yuletide song by Larry "Wild Man" Fischer tells a heartbreaking holiday story



Daniel Johnston had the Christmas spirit



A spoken-word recital from the jolly old Legendary Stardust Cowboy



B.J. Snowden, the self-declared "Queen of Outsider Music," teamed up with Fred Schneider of the B-52s for this Christmas dance number
