Unorganized Hancock’s World Tour, Which Encompasses Three Whole Counties In Maine At This Point, Rolls On

October 1, 2013 4 Comments

My Heir and the Spare Heir, AKA Unorganized Hancock, are appearing this Sunday the 6th at the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg Maine.


The Fryeburg Fair is the last agricultural fair of the season, and the largest of its kind in Maine. According to Wikipedia, about 300,000 people attend each year. The fair goes on for eight days. Sunday’s the last day. The leaves are turning color smartly, and the weather’s perfect all week — sunny and in the high sixties, low seventies.

I rather enjoy agricultural fairs. I’m no farmer, but I find the animals and equipment durn interesting. I have an affection for regular people. Regular people go to, and participate in, agricultural fairs. I always wanted to be a regular person, but I couldn’t manage it. Come and see my irregular sons play; three shows: 1, 2,and 3 PM. Be there and be square.

Here’s the boys playing some Beatles earlier in the summer at the Skowhegan, Maine River Fest.

In Furtherance Of My Evil Plan To Resurrect Wichita Lineman And Make It The Official Cover Song Of The Twenty-Teens: Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66

October 1, 2013 6 Comments

Wichita Lineman is playing in the elevator to cool. Of course, the cable has broken, and the car is rocketing down the shaft on the way to Beelzebub’s Lounge, but my points stands. Don’t forget to jump just before the car reaches the bottom.

Is Sergio Mendes the least cool hip person ever, or is he the least hip cool person extant, or what? Of course persons of a certain vintage never complain about Sergio’s records, because without them their parents would never have gotten jiggy in the first place and brought them into this benighted world.

Oh the chin strap beard; the corduroy coats; the polyester tunics on the willowy sorta-singers; a blast of pink Qiana shirt cuff as Sergio himself tinkles all over the piano; the grim, low-bidder hairdos.

Is that… it can’t be… It is! It’s a stairway to heaven in the background!

Which lets you know exactly where you’ve ended up.
