This is a VERY COLLECTIBLE & VALUABLE Album Cover! Only 200 were pressed before the Album Title mistake was discovered ...

... subsequent pressings bore the correct title ...

Check this album out ... it's guaranteed to have, at a minimum, one obvious hook!

With almost every rapper leaning towards gold "bling", MC Pooh knew he needed to blaze new trails and take a different path.

He ultimately ended up becoming the acknowledged leader of a new school of rap fashion known as ECB - "Extremely Cumbersome Bling" ... (pictured here with his V-Laig Neckflesh)

Although outwardly confident, "Dev Dave" secretly agonized over whether to go with the circumcision, vasectomy or the new FDA approved addadictomy.

Either I'm just bad at "the new modern math" or, in a statistically improbable event, it just hapened that the luck of the amputational draw was against each of these guys ...

If 8 times 2 still equals what it did in 1962, then shouldn't this band be called "the Sixteen Balls" ?

This one pretty much writes itself ... would be more of a slam dunk if they were called "The Priests Quartet"


BONUS CAPTION (may only makes sense to those of you in the 40+ age group) : "Hmm ... I'm really agonizing over the choice between Reverend Capt. Binghamton and Reverend Floyd the Barber"

Very derivative ... too reminiscent of the timeless Jim Croce classic, "If I Could Save Tits in a Bottle".

Two words ... BLAGOJEVICH. Apparently our boy Rod (next President of these United States) did some traveling "south of the border" , approx. 19 years ago.

The later addition of Joe Sample and subsequent name change to the "Jazz Crusaders" made all the difference in the world ...

... City Douchebag

It's FFF ! (Friday Facebook Fight)

A totally irrelevant post - unrelated to Penny Knight Band and it's proceedings ...
Thought you may be interested in a typical attempt at humor of mine that went BAD WRONG ...

I responded to a Facebook post of an event added by a local Capital District (NY) Arts reporter/blogger and that elicited a "less than warm response" from another follower of his ... a transcript of the written altercation follows ... Much love and no offense, Tony J:


Thom O'Connor
(original posting about an event with 5 bands and a pig roast):‎5 Bands and a Pig next Saturday afternoon, 24th

Tony Jones (my response):‎"5 Bands and a Pig" . I was initially confused ... thought it was a novel about an old girlfriend of mine.

Peter Vincent Liporace (obvious Tony Jones fan):ouch... sexist...
Peter Vincent Liporace (more TJ Love):portraying any woman in that light perpetuates long standing gender inequality... choose your words wisely...

Tony Jones:
PVL - Apologies. It's called comedy ... I meant no harm to your or anyone else's sensibilities. My mother is, in fact, a female and I love her and consider her equal to, if not superior to, my father.

Were I not a raging heterosexual, I would have said it reminded me of an old boyfriend, but I have no expertise in that area.

Tony Jones:
I, too, have been oppressed ... by those who lack a thick skin and a modicum of humor. EVERYONE in this country needs to lighten up. If that happens, I promise you a better world ahead.

I will now retire to my chamber of self-loathing and doubt. But let me pass along these final words ... I have always firmly believed that the female gender is the stronger of the two .... in countless ways.

There, I said it! Now I'll expect a beating from all men's rights activists on FB....

Tony Jones:
Thom, my sincere apologies for turning your non-controversial post into a philosophical bloodbath.

Thom O'Connor:Hey! That's what pigs and facebook are for. And I have enjoyed...

Tony Jones:Much appreciated, Thom. And many thanks for the opportunity to enjoy a cheap adrenaline rush!

Featuring the bonus track, "I shit in mom's hair (and she never found it)"

... I Am Ted Mack's Love-Child !

A few observations:

- SNAKE OIL: This had to have been the reason for the creation of the FDA. Imagine being able to legally sell this crap? Geritol, Serutan, Niron & Zarumin ... and who the hell was the marketing guy in charge of naming this shit, the underacheiving son of JRR Tolkein?

- JACK DUPP: Apparently, Ted Mack was sampling this stuff during pre-show tapings. He's as jacked up as Michael Jackson at the Vienna Boys Choir Nudist Resort & Daycare Center ... His head is on a swivel and doesn't stop moving for a second.

- BODY IMAGE: Someone has been slipping "Niron" (see 6:21 in video above) into my meals for the past 35 years, for my "firm, attractive weight" is second to none! If I find that bastard, they'll have to book me for 1st degree murder.

I am moving. You can now contact me at "Box 191, Radio City Station" ... Daddy? Is that you? ...

Just for Kicks, A Gig Question

Give us your ideas as to what other local original (or copy) bands you would like to see us appear with on a double or triple bill. Obviously, due to our advanced ages, we would have to be the opening act, so we can get home at a reasonable hour.
...and while you are breathlessly and wildly cogitating over it (no, that's not "dirty-talk") please suggest some clubs/venues, as well ...

Apologies to Richard Parks for the use of the big words in this, previous and future posts.
