Dug out my Jethro Burns, Don Stiernberg, "Bye Bye Blues" CD, listening to it this Saturday morning. Great music, happy music.
If you don't have it, you need to get it.

Jethro never had a bad song. Some of his jokes were pretty bad. First time I ever heard Django, I thought: "Gee, this guy sounds kinda like Jethro."
Some of his jokes were pretty bad.
You mean, like this:
A guy wanted to learn to play like Django, so I broke 2 of his fingers.
or
J (to lady at bar): Mind if I give a pregnant girl a ride home?
Lady: I'm not pregnant.
J: You ain't home yet.
(O, behave...)
Ya know, one of my biggest musical regrets is that I didn't take the Alaska Ferry up to Juneau for the Alaska Folk Festival in 1983....
Jethro was apparently onboard (both going north and south), and was the highlight artist at the Festival...
(They only hire one)...
Big mistake to have missed that one, for so-oooo many reasons....

I, along with at least a coupl of Cafe regulars, attended the one and only workshop taught by JB in Elkins, WV back in (I think) 1983. There is an older thread with some pics, etc. Lorraine Duisit was JB's teaching assistant.
