ReplyDeleteNow there's no call for sarcasm, young lady!
ReplyDeleteJames
looks like mr sketchy was doodling at staff meetings...
DeleteDoodling? Way I heard it, he was creating immortal works of art ....
DeleteKidding aside, James, your site is grand.
ReplyDeleteI'll spread the URL.

We could use someone of your ilk here in the 'Peg. The music puts me in mind of one Manzer Batal from Windsor Ontario, but has more bite.
ReplyDeleteManzer
I concur with Manzer above (dig your work too, man!). I suggest a spicy side dish to augment the fine East Coast musical musings of Mr. James Fenimore Thurgood. Caught your act ages ago at the famed Coach n' Horses ('heavy water plant' and all that...) south of Detroit. This is the real deal wheel that keeps on spinning.
ReplyDeleteKeep on keeping on.
Jerome and the gang at Kelsey Hayes/Wheel
And, here I thought I was the b'y that built the boat......
ReplyDeleteThis music tickles me fancy.
Taylor
I don't often bust out the spoons anymore unless the occasion's a real special one. But, by golly, when the old lady pops in the Thurgood CD and cranks 'er up to 10 it's "RUN FOR COVER" here comes the bleedin' cutlery!!
ReplyDeleteThis music could make a cadaver get up and cut a rug.
ReplyDeleteM. Kozak ('Crest')
Croc and roll! Finally, a kind of 'roots' music that I can sink my chompers into.
ReplyDeleteZilt (Belle River ON)
Great CD, James. You play with the wild abandon of someone who does not wear underwear! Channeling the big boys from the Maritimes and beyond into our kitchens ad living rooms
