Order a “Hollywood Haymaker” t-shirt

Monday, July 27th, 2009

This is hard to resist - a t-shirt featuring the artwork of Paul Borelli, who I’ve featured here previously. The one on display above features his “Hollywood Haymaker” painting, which is a poster for an imagined bout between Fred MacMurray and Erroll Flynn. But also available are his My Three Suns (Fred MacMurray), The Flying Dutchman (Honus Wagner), and Stew Jon Art (Jon Stewart). These are all available only at Printfection.com, and while they’re not necessarily flea market prices, they do support the artist. To see a full gallery of Paul’s work so far (Pittsburgh Pirates fans, take note), drop by Borelli Art.COM.

The Kendell Kardt Song Archive (and more)

It pleases me no end to announce that singer/songwriter Kendell Kardt, who I’ve been championing here for a while, has begun maintaining his own website - The Kendell Kardt Song Archive. This is an ever-evolving project, so be sure to keep checking in. As it currently stands, though, it’s remarkable, containing the complete unreleased Capitol (‘71) and Columbia (‘72) solo projects along with mountains of other stuff for us to hear, like the ‘77 Juicy John Pink’s sessions. Also included are photos, lyrics, and other writings (published and unpublished), including an ongoing memoir project. This is a pretty stunning gift Kendell’s offering up to us, so don’t miss out.

My new single

I’ve posted a new single over at my website to commemorate my recent China adventure. The first song, “Dancing Song,” is a little Cajun-influenced foot stomper I wrote way back in ‘93 and but never recorded till just now. I resurrected it while I was out yonder and it got good response. The second one, “Mo Li Hua,” is my version of a very famous Chinese folk song I’d learned by the tail end of my trip.
