All I know, fellers, is, I was looking for ideas for our Christmas card in Google images, and that popped up. My guess is it's a real record, but your guess is as good as mine. Anyhow, I figured it had to go on the thread.

It may be a real album, in a sense...what I mean is, it may be one of those humor/pornographic bizarre albums that makes fun of regular music for the chance to make some dirty or sick jokes. Chinga Chavez, for example, is a supposed artist featured on such albums.

"Chinga" means f*ck in Spanish. It's an impossible name for a real Hispanic singer to have.

I wasn't going to read such a long thread, but I was laughing too hard to let go of the mouse.I was especially delighted to see Jim Post (follow the link to the email from his grandson).

I have just done a brief search for, but cannot find, an album I swear I remember seeing in a music store about 20-odd years ago. The picture was multiple images of Derek Bell of the Chieftains playing a number of different instruments, and it was titled, "Derek Bell Plays With Himself."

Oh YES! Thank you, BARDFORD. That is it. I had confused the color of the woman's dress with the background color of the CD. Pretty awful, isn't it? But I bet it sounds even worse than it looks! ;-)

Shatner edges out Big George, Manly, but by an admittedly narrow margin. Big George definitely scores high in the charisma department. He pulls a lot of weight.

Big George is the only recording artist to seriously rival William Shatner. He has to be seen to be believed.

"Quit" is not a word you will find in Bill Shatner's vocabulary.

Subject: RE: BS: Bad Album Cover Art
From: Cluin
Date: 08 Nov 05 - 09:57 PM

Actually I kinda like that "Has Been" cover. Very stark, yet overdramatic, like the man himself. Nice design.

In the other one, with Shat holding the guitar, if you look at a blow-up of it, he's not actually fingering any known chord. He's even stopped the same string twice, 3 frets apart. Looks like he doesn't know when to quit there, either.

I was just about to point out that you had neglected the Great Shatner's album art, Cluin, but you have redeemed yourself. And it doesn't end there! I have an incredibly rare Ktel double album of Shatner that HAS to be heard. I'll play it for people on special request, but only for big bucks or certain other inducements...in some cases...

One person offered me a mint condition Martin M-38 Grand Orchestra guitar for that album. No way. This kind of thing is simply priceless.

What I RELALY liked about the Fernwood Trio one was that super groovy avant-gard macaroni font they used for their name. THAT cost `em big bucks, I bet.

Omigod. You are sick, man, sick. Really sick. I note that you are really attracted to or else severely bothered by:

1. Nerds!
2. Tacky sexual innuendos!
3. People who are just having good clean FUN!
4. Bizarre perversions.
3. And most of all...ALL of the above at ONCE! EEEEEEEE-YYYAAAAAUGHHH!!!!!!!

But listen to this man, just listen: I KNOW one of the original 3 members of the Fernwood Trio! No joke. He lives in Orillia, Ontario, and has played for years off and on in our songcircle, and he usually does the sound (quite well) for the Orillia Folk Society. His name is Dave McMillan. Nice guy. He's still sort of recognizable...being the guy on the right, as you look at the picture...or the guy on the left if you're him in the picture. The Fernwood Trio's name was probably inspired by Fern Resort, a large vacation establishment on one of the lakes here. They used to play it frequently back in the 60's.

And ya know what? He said that act got him a lot of good luck with the girls back then. Yesiree. They were the cool of cool. They were mega-cool. Well...until Dylan came along, anyway.
