Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 12, 2014

New Orleans/Bohemian fusion?

Looks more old timey Appalachian.

Carl had aspiraions to join Queen back in the day, but they never returned his call.

2Old…. but he will, he will rock you…..

Go daddio!

Beat-neck music.

Dozing at the Tiki….. sounds like a song title….but it’s real life…..

Little monkeys, I’d like to go home now… can you handle it?Right, right…. why am I asking…..I know…professional.

Dimitri is cleaning floors, but if there’s anything too heavy just ask him to help you, please….

I MEAN it…. ask him…..reaching things is one thing…. lifting them is another!

Call me if you need me… and don’t wake Big Monkey….

Oh…. that reminds me…

Monkey…. when you wake up….

I’m sorry.I didn’t remember that I wasn’t supposed to mention the Bananale….

ooops… sorry….

I mean your project…But no harm done…. right?It’s not like we still have those 76 cases in the basement….… is it?

Oh, hi Dog….Your post wasn’t showing when I started typing….

Glad you’re not too snowed in to get to the Tiki!Stay warm.

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can you do the fandango?

…I got nothing…

She needs to join in with a little interpretive dance.

I have a good sized steel drum that my parents brought back from a Jamaican trip. They always tried to bring back some musical item everywhere they traveled and I recued when my brother was disposing of stuff (fun for the grandkids) but I keep those (with piles of photos) in my main guest room.

This one is similar to mine (but only 11"); mine is at least 2’ dia. but is also marked on the partitions.

Just those Old Washtub Blues…

AC/DC and step on it!

Carl is channeling his inner Shankar…

Homemade One String Bass

I’m not sure I’d recognize one of Carl’s musical compositions, but I’d sure know if I stepped in one!

Carl needs some backup…

Gosh, if you are going to torture your hair like that Mable, SOMEONE’s got to torture something. May as well be me.

Night all…

The plot mittens err thickens!
