You get what you pay for, and sometimes you get less than that. Nevertheless, there’s always a great seat in the front row on The Overnight Open Thread.

EBO WALKER
Now Ebo Walker was born in Kentucky,
and raised by his daddy on a hillside farm,
He took up fiddle playing just for fun,
that’s the last work that Ebo Walker done.
Well Ebo Walker, he left Kentucky
’cause Ebo’s daddy said durn your hide,
You won’t plant corn, and you won’t make hay,
you sit on the porch and play that thing all day.
Well Ebo Walker, he walked and he fiddled and he walked and he fiddled and he fiddled till he died,
But I’ve heard tell when the winds is down and the moon shines bright, and the leaves are brown,
You can hear old Ebo fiddlin’ all around.
Some of the greatest scenes on The Andy Griffith show included “The Darling Boys.” They were a genuine bluegrass band from the Missouri Ozarks, known as The Dillards. During the bluegrass revival of the 1960s, they decided to move to where the recording studios were (Los Angeles) and set up shop outside the studios where they eventually got noticed.
Fun facts to know and tell, presented in the Classroom d’Retro of the College of Musical Knowledge, known locally as The Overnight Open Thread.

From the case study archives of the SPCLC (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Laser Cats) comes this warning: IF YOU BLINK, YOU’RE DEAD.
This has been a Public Service Announcement for aficionados of
The Overnight Open Thread.
UPDATE:
We had 2 OOT’s going so I rescheduled the Woolery thread for tomorrow. Thanks!

“Oooh, my face looks like a hamster in the side of THIS pan!
Thank you, Prozac!”
From the amazing Plan59 comes this classic illustration, but I have a couple of problems with it. What bonehead decided to put a lamp post right next to the garage, and why is the car parked sideways in the driveway? And another thing – she’s over 6 feet tall and her kitchen is being consumed by a mysterious white fungus.
Just one more example of the average American drug-addled lifestyle of the late ’50s, buffed and shined for The Overnight Open Thread.
