Dan Hicks. Winner of Okayest Dude award six years running. Swell musician, songwriter, great pinochle player. Inventor of Pickleball®, and First Cowboy On The Moon. What more need be said? He was the most talented original Charlatan (a pretty low bar), and pioneered the use of oleomargarine in contract flooring. His portrait, by Leonard Nimoy, hangs in the Vatican. September 3rd has been named Dan Hicks day in Spitoon County, Colorado. He owned the world's largest private collection of Oil Rigs, and kept axolotls.
But enough of this dry historical encomium. The important thing is, fun.

Michel Waisvisz – Crackle. I wanted it to make an avantgarde mashup and I came across this item at a record fair, reasonably priced and it is as fresh as it sounded all those years ago
