Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 29, 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.

Speaking of pirated recordings, a friend forwarded me a 13-song set of the one, the only Charles Manson "live" (so to speak) at San Quentin.

The 60s dance names known since I was 7 -- the frug, Watusi, etc. -- I can't define or recognize which is which when it comes to the actual moves. The moves are visually familiar, of course, but except for the obvious Hitchhiker and Mashed Potato, probably, I can't say, "Oh, that's the so-and-so," or do them on command.

Dennis Wilson believed in Manson's musical talent and set up a recording session through the Beach Boys' label, Brother Records. However, this ended on bad terms when Manson pulled out a knife to express his irritation with the studio engineer.
