This one’s a fun one, and a case where I regret not speaking Spanish to appreciate the opening. Yes, I ran it through a translator to mostly know what they were talking about. But these things usually scrub all of the humor in the process.
I’ve got a new perk for all of my patrons over on Patreon! Now I’ll be including the pencils for some upcoming comic strips. So, if you join up, you can get to see how things look before they’re inked. The first batch starts with the first and last strips of the upcoming story. (Being ahead of schedule means you can get around writer’s block by doing strips out of order.) You can check them out here!
Here’s wishing a very happy 108th Birthday to Mr. Dizzy Gillespie!
Let’s celebrate by enjoying the title number of Birk’s Works!
I haven’t done Tuesday Rhapsodies for a long time since I’ve been scraping the barrel for new rhapsodies with little luck. So, when I found this new cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by the Ndlovu Youth Choir, I had to share it. So here is one of our long time favorites in isiZulu!
Here’s wishing Mr. Charlie Parker a very happy 105th birthday!
Let us celebrate with some Swedish Schnapps by Charlie Shavers!
Let’s wish Mr. Louis Armstrong a very happy 124th Birthday.
To celebrate let’s go way back to the start of his career. Here he is, with the Hot Five, performing the Heebie Jeebies! by Boyd Atkins. While neither Armstrong or Atkins coined the word, they can certainly be given credit for bringing it into common parlence. It certainly is one of the best examples of Armstrong’s scat singing.
Enjoy!
