Friday, March 26, 2010. Sending love to Garry Shider. Word comes via the online grapevine that Garry Shider. Of P-Funk has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Shider has been a loyal soldier in George Clinton’s musical army for nearly 30 years. a guitarist, songwriter, vocal arranger and diaper-wearing hype man. And, of course, a singer. Garry Shider is an amazing singer. To channel some loving energy in Garry’s direction, let me stream a couple of 1970s tracks on which he wails. March 27, 2010 at 11:15 AM.

http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2010/03/smith-wesson-makes-fragrance.html

Thursday, March 25, 2010. Smith and Wesson makes a fragrance. I drove to Metairie today during my lunch break to buy a sportcoat, dress shirt and tie. I went the “big and tall” route to make sure I found something that fits. Anyway, at the cash register, I noticed some colognes on display. And one of them – swear to God – was Smith and Wesson eau de toilette. Smith and Wesson. Eau de toilette. So when we say that his cologne knocked me up against the wall it will work on more than one level. But that doe...

Sunday, March 28, 2010. Today I’m streaming tracks by four recording artists with something in common. These men are notable not just for making music. but for taking a human life. All four ended up convicted killers. Isn’t this a cool concept for a playlist? I semi-ripped it from another blog: Any Major Dude With Half A Heart. 1 “Fever”. 8211; Little Willie John. A 1950s R&B hitmaker who would influence James Brown, Little Willie John. 2 “A Way From It All”. 8211; Don Drummond. 8211; Spade Cooley. Spade...

Undercover Black Man: New cuts from Bernie Worrell

http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-cuts-from-bernie-worrell.html

Monday, March 22, 2010. New cuts from Bernie Worrell. One of my favorite living musicians has a new album out, and I never would’ve known except for a casual search of the eMusic. Keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell. Is way off the radar screen of today’s commercial music. That is why God invented blogs. Having previously declared that I’ll purchase any track Bernie ever played on, I might come off as uncritical. Not the case. And check out “Hearin’ Dis, Playin’ Dat.”. March 23, 2010 at 8:44 AM.

Undercover Black Man: Saturday morning cartoon

http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2010/03/saturday-morning-cartoon_27.html

Saturday, March 27, 2010. Lutherans. Thought Davy and Goliath was put out by the Mormans. Guess I lumped them in with those other PSA commercials I used to see as a kid. Also remember something called Insight (I think) that reminded me of a religious Twilight Zone. Dunno who put that out, but it was on Sunday mornings, of course. March 27, 2010 at 10:19 AM.
