Brownie Mash-Up

I'm making a set of prints based on the names of blues and folk musicians for a possible exhibition which will tour music festivals this summer. The idea is that each work has to fit into a CD case and these will be displayed in racks in the mini-caravan gallery just like in an old-timey CD shoppe!

No-one Needs a Weberman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows

Hey N.B.B.-
Late last night I found this guy rummaging in the trash can outside the Cabin-guess who-Yep that pesky garbologist Alan Jules Weberman.So I laruppped him about the head with my banjo and wrote this song.
Thanks to Dylan,A.J. and Mark Davies for the inspiration.

Taxidermied Fox, Millennium Falcon and Banjo

Aleas says,

'I'm a follower on your blog.
I just stumbled on this banjo video you may like if you haven't seen it before:

As people say, it isn't everyday you see a taxidermied fox, a millennium falcon, and a banjo at the same time.
Looking forward to reading/hearing more on your blog,
A.'

Aleas, you're right, those three don't come along often, and those kids are brilliant!
