Slam Bukra, King Daddy of the slow motion egg boys (and girls) and all the rabbits hopping down the bunny trail of life.  Join us in spirit as we honor the rich traditions of blues, jazz, Americana, slide and steel guitar music.

Yes sir. It is a pleasure to be of service. I will say hello to Paul for you. It was his little old man dance that got me started on the Egg video in the first place.

Babalooey...am solo vacationing in Lone Pine, CA. Mt Whitney is covered with snow and right outside my little motel window. I'm enjoying scenic drives and walks in the valley and foothills kicking dirt, rocks and snow. I love staying in motels because I don't have cable TV at home. I've been watching The History Channel and a classic Clint Eastwood western--Josey Wales. That's the one where spits on everything including a dog's head, a snake oil peddler, a stink bug and a few of the people he kills. My vacations are always rich in culture and Americana.

Shit on the head, eat a cornbread. Best to you my fine fellow.
