Got to see him in New Orleans a few years ago, the only time had ever been asked to play Jazzfest, and he was still really good. Man, I love Little Pig.

i have a disc of outtakes and demos from his early recordings and it is super-amazing. very odd stuff, in a completely appealing way.

"The Hawk Walks" is a favorite instro of mine. Spooked out piano, along the lines of "Echos of Harlem" or Tom Waits.

Farewell rockin guy

AWWWW SHIT. Dude rules. I highly recommend his "LA, Memphis & Tyler, Texas" album from 1969. It's kinda ridiculous, but Ry Cooder plays on it and it has some pretty great covers, the band is tight as hell and Dale sounds charmingly drunk at times.

RIP!

Right down to the slightly drunk sounding vocals.

thirteen years pass...

Love this...Had a credit card issue a few days ago that I had to sort out over the phone. Got an automated follow-up call today wanting my customer feedback, with the voice starting off by saying "My name is Susie Q..." Almost positive the call was legitimate, but just in case I hung up anyway, reluctangly passing up my chance to finally talk to Susie Q.

I'd be tempted to repeat the lyrics and ONLY the lyrics just to see if I could get to the end of the song before she hung up.

Oh, Suzie Q
Oh, Suzie Q
Oh, Suzie Q
Baby, I love yo--*CLICK*

birdistheword, Tuesday, 3 June 2025 22:39 (five months ago)

I'd be tempted to repeat the lyrics and ONLY the lyrics

"How satisfied are you with your Mastercard overall?"
I like the way you walk.

"How likely are you to recommend our Mastercard to others?"
I like the way you talk.

"How well do our Mastercard services meet your needs?"
Well, say that you'll be true.

Etc.
