The Return Of Saturday Matinee

It's the weekend. What better time to revisit a popular Lomblog feature of old? A special segment each week, where the dusty bric-a-bracs of our cultural basement are brought forth once again, courtesy YouTube - man's greatest-ever invention. Yes, it's the return of Saturday Matinee.

Today's feature: a 1932 live performance by Eddie Peabody, the Jimi Hendrix of the banjo. As you'll see, his unique stage presence and sexual charisma are as potent today as they were back then.



My lighter is aloft.

holy moly. That guy gives me the willies. Strange, he died about 30 minutes from where I live. Sadly, entertainment choices have not improved since Happiness Boy went for that great banjo solo in the sky.

Jeepers Lombairefan, you are one very odd duck.

I was going to compliment you on finding this little jewel, but since I am not one of the "Great Ones" mentioned in the previous post comments, I shall refrain!

no Peabody shrine in Covington, KY but you can go to the hospital where he died. He was born in Massachusetts. So was I. Hmmmm.
By the way, you've never commented on my blog...
