Hey,

The Fixx - Red Skies

To paraphrase Kurtis, “these are (where the) breaks! (are from).”

Ha! My fave from them.

ZZ Top showing that they’re pretty good at dusting brooms, too!

Fats Domino will wait and see.

Elmore James, the king of the slide guitar, with “Dust My Broom”.

Not morbid. It will be huge and mark a sad day and a celebration of his life. The second line will be amazing.

When you want to party there really is only one way. Kid dynamite
