Two cheeseburgers, apple pie, a cigarette and a pretty girl

The Mississippi Delta Blues lost one of its legends last week when Pinetop Perkins passed away. He was the oldest artist to win a Grammy and was still performing this year at age 97 with his incredible piano personality and simple, sweet appreciation for life. It's quite sad to see him gone, but reassuring to know that his legend lives on in the decades of music that he's inspired. Check out the links and three great tunes below.

Dream Job

No offense to my current profession, but I'd give pretty much anything to be able to scratch and chop and spin musical concoctions like these for a living. Hope you enjoy these four very different examples of making sounds out of sounds out of sounds. Sigh...

I'd also like to become a world-famous travel-eater like Anthony Bourdain, so if anyone can help me figure that one out as well please do let me know!.. :)
