Program: Blues in the Night with Jamie Dell'Apa

Goofy Guys

 

 After couple hours of great live jazz from Snug Harbor featuring Loyola's Monk Institute Ensemble, I got control over the aether modulator and immediately degraded our community standards.  Starting with Wild Jimmy Spruell and the Three Stooges we found an incredibly stoogey comment by Woodrow Wilson and matched it with music about Cherokees.  Thankfully, Ray Nagin is always there to continue the pattern with his goofy racist comments about Mexican workers in New Orleans which Spencer Bohren answered with his treatment of "Deportees."  

No shortage of goofy guys tonight as the last half of the show featured goofy songs including the misogynist's theme song, Sugar Boy Crawford's Watch Her Whip Her.   Finally, a set about bartenders.  Not drinking, not drunkeness, not hangovers and not bars.  Just bartenders.  That's a population that knows goofy guys.
